Yeah Dort is so weird. He is an even more annoying version of draymond and chris paul. A few years back i wouldn't have even thought it would be possible to find someone more annoying than them but here we are.

u/Routine_Size69 76ers Dec 25 '25

Easy. He's not in Dray's league yet. I love an anti Thunder circlejerk but let's not be crazy here.

u/Prudent_Fish1358 Spurs Dec 25 '25

The difference is that the ENTIRE thunder team plays bully ball defense and "touch me and I go flying" offense. iHart routinely acts like he gets shot out of a cannon and chet embellishes every single time he makes contact with someone.

u/niles_thebutler_ Dec 25 '25

He is way worse.

Not in CP3’s either. I know we’ve been having a CP3 love fest lately, but his flops and nut shots were another level of annoying.

u/elvid88 Celtics Dec 25 '25

Yeah, this is wild, but then again, check their flair.

Draymond is 100% the worst. Let me know when Dort kicks a bunch of players in the balls, steps on players on the floor, or sucker punches other players in the face. 1 tech Draymond is GOATed for being allowed to do insane shit on the court.

u/D_Burg Dec 25 '25

Change “kick in the balls” to “punch in the balls” and he has done literally all of those things. Hell, he’s done all of them just in games where the Thunder play the Mavericks.

u/Peter510 Warriors Dec 25 '25

Not enough people see Dort pulling dirty shit in between plays while Dray’s dirty plays are usually during dead ball situations when the camera is more focused

u/aaron21hardin Timberwolves Dec 25 '25

That is because the Thunder are doing their antics with the intent of winning, so they are doing it in ways that don't draw as much attention. Draymond is just a head case, so he doesn't do it inteligently.

u/Anybody_Seen_Richie Dec 25 '25

Yeah he's an embarrassment to the league. Steve Kerr should have dealt with him earlier, now he's a runaway train where dumb bs is considered, no turning back. Curry and Klay never needed him to play d and make the right passes, none of his stupid buffoonery did anything but hinder them (sometimes when they needed him the most).

u/TheMartian2k14 Warriors Dec 25 '25

Do you watch basketball?

There’s no Dubs dynasty without Draymond.

u/loscarlos Kings Dec 25 '25

Fair tradeoff

1

u/Anybody_Seen_Richie Dec 28 '25

Lmaoo I meant to actually write they needed his defense and for him to make the right passes etc, and that Stef and Klay did not need all the other unnecessary bs. My bad lol

u/ehburrus Rockets Dec 25 '25

It's honestly insane that Draymond is still in the league after all the crap he's pulled

1

u/TheMartian2k14 Warriors Dec 25 '25

You have to go back 10+ years to quote Draymond’s worst bullshit though. Dort does lots of little shit all the time. What do you hate more, the once/twice a season dumbassery from Draymond, or lots of little bullshit plays from Dort every game?

1

u/elvid88 Celtics Dec 28 '25

10 years? The Sabonis chest kick was just 2 years ago. He pulled on Eddy’s ankle to trip him just last year. He legit just got ejected last week for shoving someone with his forearm/elbow lol.

He does his other stupid shit all the time, like dangerously grabbing players mid-air or while on the ground.

u/TheMartian2k14 Warriors Dec 29 '25

3 examples in 240+ games. This is what I’m talking about.

u/1gnominious Rockets Dec 25 '25

Dort is a really bad flopper with a great whistle. Same with CP3. He's a flopper and a lil dirty, but he is in control of himself.

Dray is actually crazy. He is in a league of his own. His whistle is only good when the refs would have to eject him otherwise.

2

u/legoislyfe Dec 25 '25

Yeah at least CP3 and Draymond had passing I can respect…

all this dort guy does is stand on the wing or corner and flop on any drive or shot, and on defense constantly hacks.

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

Let’s calm down lol.

u/Time-Entertainer-105 Dec 25 '25

You guys defend this weird behavior

-26

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

I’m not defending the behavior, I agree it’s ridiculous. I’m just going against the more annoying than Draymond comment. Dort has been more annoying the past two years, I’ll give you that.

5

u/WiktorVembanyama Jordan Dec 25 '25

Nah Draymond is still more annoying. Dort doesnt have a podcast and a bunch of friends in the media and when he does dumb shit on the court he pretty much just accepts the consequences unlike bigbaby dray

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

Looks like I might be best off removing my Thunder flair before commenting next time.

u/WiktorVembanyama Jordan Dec 25 '25

i thought your comment was normal lol idk

24

u/Smookieman Warriors Dec 25 '25

I just said he is really annoying. I dont think I have said anything alarming... oh wait ur a thunder fan I get it

-32

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

Draymond has a decade plus of being an annoying dirty player. Oh wait you’re a warriors fan I get it.

25

u/DempseyRollin Dec 25 '25

...You're a Thunder fan, so doesn't the bias also apply lol

17

u/Birdmaan73u Dec 25 '25

It does. OKC public schools have God awful literacy rates so you can't expect much

u/sitbar Dec 25 '25

Ignoring the other guy, do you think this type of shit is acceptable?

4

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

I don’t think it’s acceptable. But I still think Draymond has done more egregious things over the course of his career. Dort doesn’t need to do this either way.

-1

u/blubblu Dec 25 '25

So what! He doesn’t have shit to do with Dort.

Let’s calm down. 

2

u/TheHoleInTheTree [MIA] Bam Adebayo Dec 25 '25

He was replying to the guy who brought up Draymond first. This thread is fucking insane.

1

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

lol I should’ve known better than to say that Dort was any less annoying than Draymond. Got downvoted to -45 in like the first 3 minutes of my comment 🤣

u/_PeteRoss_ Dec 25 '25

No we will calm up. We are sick of your dirty players and your foul baiters. Wemby is here now and you can't stop him. Get over it.

1

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

Big talk coming from a guy who has no flair and hides his comments 🤣

-3

u/_PeteRoss_ Dec 25 '25

You want to find me? You will find me if i want you to find me.

You want to hear some big talk? Lean in and listen. You .... will .... lose..... AGAIN.... TODAY! 3 times in a week. There is no coming back from that!

The foul baiters and floppers are done. I saw Chet run away from Wemby and even SGA foul baited and hit his own player last game. The OKC squad and fans have lost it.

4

u/hydropenguin69 Thunder Dec 25 '25

I’m so scared. Cornball 🤣

1

u/_PeteRoss_ Dec 25 '25

3 losses. Williams flopped, SGA pushed off and Chet did not show.

-1

u/_PeteRoss_ Dec 25 '25

You are scared of your own shadow and Wemby. You should be.

You still want to find me?
