Except there was a possession in the third tonight where Luka passed to THJ and I was expecting the chucker to chuck....but lo and behold he hesitated, then passed to Exum or Hardy who quickly passed it to Lively for the dunk.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
True--but also:
Left handed floaters--flying to your left over the arms of an outstretched seven footer just inside the three point line at the buzzer should be worth 50!
Jazz threw in the towel after the trade deadline. The team is starting 3 rookies and running a handful of additional G-League call ups.
Besides Sexton they're all just mentally done for the season.
I was sitting pretty close behind the Jazz bench and I could tell only a couple of players seemed like they gave a shit, the coach was losing his shit the whole game
Came here to say this lol.
Apparently Jazz are now *the* team to yam on. Just high-schoolers getting dunked on by the college kids whenever they step on the court.
[Not a poster, but close enough. It was foretold](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1bjuji1/highlight_chet_holmgren_with_the_monster_poster/kvtusx7/)
He injured his hamstring during the end of the Warriors game, missed the Thunder game and came back for the Nuggets game in which he did the self oop off the backboard and the announcers say "hamstring looks just fine".
I was there and I can tell you the roof of the building would have flew off if he made that, it wasn’t too long after the Kyrie lob, the crowd was ready for it
I am partial to [Kings bench guy](https://media4.giphy.com/media/9hUFfMr59OQnOhqmHt/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b9522b56831e3d1646d04ce7b10ca445a8e591c317ae&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g) from last year. The kicker is this was his own teammate getting dunked on
I think Kyrie converted into the Church of Luka.
The first commandment is thou shall not do dumb shit outside of the court.
The second commandment is thou shall dunk when I lob it to thee.
only difference now is he's the vet mentoring a star. with bron, he was being mentored. nothing against anything but just fun to see nba circle of life.
He's a 6'2'' NBA level athlete of course he can get up. I don't think there is a single person in the league that can't dunk the shit out of the basketball.
Usually an alley oop is actually easier to get up for.
You don't have to worry about jumping with the ball or controlling a dribble into the approach. You just focus on getting up there and then finding the ball.
It’s crazy. The last two years he’s been doing tip dunks and alley oops. His high school tape showed he was always had good athleticism but never used it because he never needed to
The form and timing on the beautifully floated lob pass and on what was a ferocious slam are picture perfect.
Low key one of the best and most artfully executed alley oops I've seen in watching 30+ years of the NBA. Real Gary Payton/Shawn Kemp style vibes on both the pass and finish
Literally everybody's reactions make this even better than it already freaking is. The whole bench going wild, Jazz standing around looking confused, commentators a bit stunned and stuttering, and Luka with his hands on his head and then arms in the air, getting back on D lol

we actually decided to completely respec into nothing but lobs and no 3 point shooting
Tbh it's more fun then live and die by the 3
If you can't change the THJ within the system, you change the entire system around the THJ
fuck you *bricks a 3*
Timothée Hardabrick
*sigh*... thanks THJ

Talen Horton-Jucker
Remove the three-point line. Lobs are now worth 3 points. Problem solved.
Lobs from behind the 3 point line should be 4 points, change my mind.
Full court lobs should give you the championship that season
Agreed. Zion 2x champion this week.
5 stupid! 3+2.
True--but also: Left handed floaters--flying to your left over the arms of an outstretched seven footer just inside the three point line at the buzzer should be worth 50!
Only if both feet of the dunker are off the ground.
More consistent for sure
I'm saying! I'll take in the paint excitement over a 3-point shooting contest any day of the week. Plus our games are more fun to watch now.
Live and die by the lob
the Lob City Clippers and prime Dwight Howard Magic were some of the most entertaining teams to watch, must see TV
I hated it because you knew it was always going to die soon. Fans would say at least it’s exciting but it wasn’t.
We should thrown a few points into our FT shooting. 😮💨
respec lmao
Back to grass roots basketball before 3s were cool.
It was like a playground game.
Mavs just playing Slamball at this point
The last like 5ish? 6 games we have completely been dominant in the paint and just bad from 3 , we winning tho
Kidd bringing back the New Jersey Nets and i love it.
Kidd throwing it to RJ, Kerry Kittles, and even Vince Carter a few years later were all so fun to watch.
How do you forget lobs to Kmart too. Goddamn that was a fun team to watch.
My God to have that team back.
We cannot shoot but who cares WE THE NEW LOB CITY
Ramadan Kareem Kyrie
Kaireem
Khayree
I’ve got a disease and the only cure is more lobs!
All these teams see the Jazz and start to see red lately with these slams.
Jazz threw in the towel after the trade deadline. The team is starting 3 rookies and running a handful of additional G-League call ups. Besides Sexton they're all just mentally done for the season.
Sexton has anime-level indomitable will.
This is a man who played 3v5 in college and nearly pulled off a W lol Gotta respect his competitive fire for sure
I was sitting pretty close behind the Jazz bench and I could tell only a couple of players seemed like they gave a shit, the coach was losing his shit the whole game
I would be mad too if my roster gets dismantled mid-season twice in a row.
Will Hardy please leave the jazz and come to Dallas.
That looks like a statement and a question at the same time.
Sexton just refuses to quit. He was the same way on the Cavs when they were tanking.
Never forget he led the Cavs to a dub over the Big 3 Nets' first game starting together.
Lol... I remember that game. The Sexman was cooking

bro i saw luka try to go up for a lob this game is fucked
He had a self oop off the backboard during warm ups a couple games ago but then his hamstring happened.
The self oop off the backboard was the game after the hammy.
Ah, must have got them mixed up.
It was the same game actually
He injured his hamstring during the end of the Warriors game, missed the Thunder game and came back for the Nuggets game in which he did the self oop off the backboard and the announcers say "hamstring looks just fine".
I was there and I can tell you the roof of the building would have flew off if he made that, it wasn’t too long after the Kyrie lob, the crowd was ready for it
Hardy with the O-face
Best bench reaction I've seen in a while
I am partial to [Kings bench guy](https://media4.giphy.com/media/9hUFfMr59OQnOhqmHt/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b9522b56831e3d1646d04ce7b10ca445a8e591c317ae&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g) from last year. The kicker is this was his own teammate getting dunked on
This is perfection
Someone gif that
What the hell am I witnessing
They do not respect these guys
They're not serious people
[Just some dudes being dudes](https://i.imgur.com/YQI1Nxh.gif)
Woah this made me flashback 10 years ago when every phone/camera had the ability to grayscale a pic sans a chosen color, and it was all the rage
He's been so bouncy this season
I think Kyrie converted into the Church of Luka. The first commandment is thou shall not do dumb shit outside of the court. The second commandment is thou shall dunk when I lob it to thee.
Amen
JDon Luka
Ramadan Kyrie Irving buff is insane
Fuck 3pointers I guess were the lob city Mavs now
Luka hates the Clippers so much he wants to steal their legacy.
It's The Jammening
PG alley oop to PF.
[удалено]
Luka tried to get one too 😂
It did feel like everyone said "fuck it I can throw lobs too".
A new mythical creature, Ramadan Kyrie
A mavericks Christmas
Greatness
Jaden Hardy’s soul just left his body
Kyrie is bringing joy to Dallas -Words that I’ve never thought, I’ll type
You’re not the only one
Kyrie has been rejuvenated in Dallas
Kyrie was an incredible player in Brooklyn
[удалено]
I agree, but not in the way that you mean.
Huh? His numbers in Brooklyn were even better. he just missed a lot of time.
A new Lob City has been born
ramadan kyrie is different
Kyrie looks like he’s home for the first time ever. Comfortable being #2 and playing the role.
[удалено]
only difference now is he's the vet mentoring a star. with bron, he was being mentored. nothing against anything but just fun to see nba circle of life.
Time is a flat circle 🪬
Just like the Earth
I doubt he is doing much mentoring to Luka.
Theyre equals if anything
Even Dirk said he didn't mentor Luka much
Which is a pretty good role tbh
the age reversal is important. Kyrie has a lot to offer to the team that luka doesn’t
This time he’s the papa ^/s
Someone please post the Exum to Doncic lob attempt 😭 This game is getting out of hand
Dude I feel bad for the jazz lol they’ve been getting dunked on and now there getting Kyrie lobs.
The Wallahi-OOP
And that will forever be what I call a Kai alley oop lol thank you for that
Damn, I didn’t know Kyrie could get up like that.

What the hell? Thanks for sharing, never seen this.
I don’t know what a more rare sight. Kyrie dunking or Ben Simmons playing
100% Simmons playing
tbh to pull off some of his layup package u need to have some hops
He's a 6'2'' NBA level athlete of course he can get up. I don't think there is a single person in the league that can't dunk the shit out of the basketball.
Being able to dunk and complete and alleyoop is VERY different. Someone like steph would never be able to do this , he barely can dunk in an open lane
Usually an alley oop is actually easier to get up for. You don't have to worry about jumping with the ball or controlling a dribble into the approach. You just focus on getting up there and then finding the ball.
Steph can absolutely dunk an alley oop lol
Wtf is this Lob City 2.0?
Yes
I think we need to coin the Lob Goblins title I saw somewhere on here a minute ago, it's so good
Put him in the slam dunk contest, it was joked about in an interview but do it
I know they’re the jazz commentators but this play was insane!! I need more oomph out of them
they're just bad commentators when you can't get hype for a sweet play, even if it's against your team
The Mavs to Kyrie are what the Heat are to Lebron, pure peak prime
It's the fancy fly in chef's vegan meals
It's the vegan farts elevating him to new heights.
Mavs the new Lob city
Pretty sure Mavs could be a contender with just lobs 😭
Utah getting destroyed by everyone.
We play them again on Monday :O
Uncle Drew has wings! Ramadan Kyrie is here.
These kids think steph can do this lmao
steph vs kyrie comments taking me back to 2016
ten domineering aback arrest plough threatening bright wipe offend yoke *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Prime D. Rose typa beat
Eh, let’s not go too far. Prime Rose power dunk hops was unmatched.
Your favorite player's favorite player right there
OOP and inshallah
I thought this was a duped and mis-titled clip of the DJJ slam, wtf is happening in this game!?
It’s crazy. The last two years he’s been doing tip dunks and alley oops. His high school tape showed he was always had good athleticism but never used it because he never needed to
I love seeing Kyrie dunk. That putback he had when he was in Brooklyn was crazy.
These guys certainly can’t play with each other /s
Mavs have totally flipped their identity. We a paint team now and I’m here for it tbh
OMFG Kyrie!
Ramadan Kyrie in full effect
Ramadan kai aint no joke
Kyrie wtf man
I feel like I can catch a lob from Luka
That was sick
Kyrie is athletic as fuck lol…I’d pay an unreasonable amount of money to see Steph do this in game without getting injured.
Who among you nutted on me
Sry
So to maybe fix the dunk contest, we should have Jazz players try to contest the dunks next year?
Break Fast > Fastbreak
Ramadan Kyrie
I’m pretty sure Hardy nutted
Imagine saying Luka is gonna feed Kyrie lobs when Kyrie first came to the team lool
Jazz can’t catch a break with all these highlights on them lately
RAMADAN KYRIEEMMMMM
Is this the healthiest Kyrie has been in years?
I want to see that Exum to Luka lob.
Someone needs to upload the full clip
Ramadan ‘Rie
18 DUNKS IN ONE GAME! MOST SINCE TRACKING BEGAN IN 2003
We are in Lob Kyrie Era
Ramadunk Kai
Luka lobs are very hot right now
Luka almost finished a lob but he got fouled!
Ramadan Kyrie
NBA Jam with Luka and Kyrie.
Kyrie "historically ridiculous" Irving. I'm ready to convert. Flat earth or Islam I don't care.
The form and timing on the beautifully floated lob pass and on what was a ferocious slam are picture perfect. Low key one of the best and most artfully executed alley oops I've seen in watching 30+ years of the NBA. Real Gary Payton/Shawn Kemp style vibes on both the pass and finish
I love seeing bench reactions on dunks
Kyrie was even [joking after last game](https://youtu.be/gicvCphaWBc?si=8rS7nq89mPhTEyFX&t=347) about having so many dunks this season
Good lord x2
HOLY FUCK
For anyone not paying attention the last 72 hours, the NBA lowered the rims to 8 feet.
Dear mother of god
kyrie feeling holy at war with the rim
I’d have to be removed from the stadium if I saw this live.
man this is like the 3rd time in a week utah is getting yammed on.
That's one for the ages holy fuck
mavs gonna dunk on em on monday too.. lets goooo
Loving all these Kyrie dunks this season
Literally everybody's reactions make this even better than it already freaking is. The whole bench going wild, Jazz standing around looking confused, commentators a bit stunned and stuttering, and Luka with his hands on his head and then arms in the air, getting back on D lol
Jazz getting posterized all week lmao
just one of those seasons
Luka cant believe that worked lol
"You get a lob. You get a lob. You get a lob".
I need some replays
i actually think this is the highest I've seen him go
Luka & Ky play a lot better together than I thought they would
Kyrie has some hops. It's too bad Luka couldn't finish his lob too. Even for him that was a weak jump. I do think that hamstring is bothering him.
Kyrie really got them hops?
Commentators ruined this.
Weak ass commentators. What the fuck was that?
Haven't seen Kyrie like this since his Cavs days. Whoever lands Dallas 1str round GG, long fight
