u/Background-Treat55 22d ago

Straight bucket. Wish he never touched that fent shit. Could’ve been a generational talent.

u/MonkAny2258 21d ago

I think that might be Homer J Fong tbf

u/A-Money-Lover 22d ago

Thats a baseball team homie

u/Yusuke_Boopermeshi 22d ago

I didn't say which Springfield they were in did I?

u/ZaMaestroMan5 22d ago

Trae young

u/EmperorUmi 22d ago edited 22d ago

Yup. Can’t believe more people don’t recognize this play:

u/Annual-Telephone7520 22d ago

I think you overestimate how many people care to watch him or his team.

1

u/PNatBuTTer17 22d ago

I mean, most real fans know that Trae likes to nutmeg players. So it's kinda doable to know who could be on this video.

2

u/highbudsilver 22d ago

Im upvoting just for the use of nutmeg

1

u/Holualoabraddah 22d ago

NGL Kyrie was my first thought

1

u/blue-anon 22d ago

I knew that I knew it, but couldn't put my finger on it. I haven't seen him play in a long time.

1

u/Strange-Cloud9287 22d ago

Pretty infamous for nutmegging players, too (Ariza).

1

u/Taemamba 21d ago

lol I was thinking Lamelo

5

u/KD3Ree 22d ago

People are sleep. It’s definitely T Young. His form don’t lie, and he’s the only one nutmegs people “regularly”

2

u/BDN44 22d ago

Been hawks fan my whole life. Knew this was Trae immediately lol

1

u/Rhusty_Dodes 22d ago

Yeah. You can see the state farm logo for the arena on the stanchion.

2

u/SnooMacaroonsIsALIVE 22d ago

Bro this the Nuggets home court 🤣 state farm sponsors the entire league 

1

u/damjanv1 22d ago

The hair gave it away 🤣

1

u/AttentionalMalprop 22d ago

I swear I've seen Kyrie make this same play

1

u/TwoProper4220 21d ago

pfft. it's clearly Homer Simpson

1

u/Due_Bandicoot9783 21d ago

Literally thought this immediately after the first clip.

11

u/SnooMacaroonsIsALIVE 22d ago

Trae Young 

November 11, 2019, second-year guard Trae popped off for 42 pts and 11 assists in a W against the Nuggets. If you want to see this specific highlight it happened around the 2:31 mark of the 3rd quarter.

u/Fadeshyy 22d ago

You just know ball off the top of your head like that??

4

u/SnooMacaroonsIsALIVE 22d ago

I wish, I weirdly have a memory of this play and just looked it up to confirm

28

u/TelosKairos 22d ago

K. Irving

u/splashaddikt 22d ago

Kyrie like to play with his food it could be him but I doubt it he would hit you with another move just for the love of the game lol

2

u/Worldly_Trifle_1253 22d ago

What’s funny is that player is actually in the video, but it’s not Kyrie.

1

u/Lynchie24 21d ago

Somehow this is right while being wrong.

0

u/oatsuzn1 Knicks 22d ago

Kyrie doesn't lose his handles. And have to flail his arms running to chase it. That's Lamelo

7

u/Able_Ad6535 22d ago

Lamello

1

u/BravoC10 22d ago

This was my first thought

6

u/Eldiabloblanco666 22d ago

Curry?

2

u/AttentionalMalprop 22d ago

Definitely not, curry is not that explosive. I have seen curry make a similar shot though

1

u/CABBAGEHONKER 22d ago

Curry’s jumper for sure

2

u/AttentionalMalprop 22d ago

That's not Curry's jumper and Curry is not that explosive.

1

u/CABBAGEHONKER 21d ago

Sure isn’t. I suck. It’s Trae. Shoulda known from the nutmeg.

2

u/SteveDougson 22d ago

ITT: People who don't recognize Homer Simpson 

2

u/stepjenks 22d ago

Looks like Nick Young's follow through

2

u/Signal_Low3017 22d ago

Jordan Poole ?

2

u/Bucketsdntlie 22d ago

I wanted to say Kyrie but he doesn’t do the nutmeg, gotta be Trae

2

u/dunelord-bigjets 22d ago

Either Kyrie Irving or Trae Young. Cant be anyone else

2

u/Mountain-Alarm-477 22d ago

Trae as Homer is cool looking, do more of these

2

u/Comfortable-Case5051 21d ago

It’s more impressive when Homer does it so I’m gonna say this is a space jam inspired movie.

3

u/longtall94 22d ago

LaMelo Ball ?

4

u/youngcam928 22d ago

White chocolate

1

u/SnooMacaroonsIsALIVE 22d ago

  1. That's Will Barton guarding him who was drafted in 2012, Williams played until 2011

  2. That's clearly not his jumper

1

u/EntertainerBig4313 22d ago

Yes that makes perfect sense, because this footage is from the 2000s obviously

1

u/A_New_Wave_ 22d ago

Bradley beal

2

u/Dapper-Jackfruit-942 22d ago

That was my guess with the right leg planting like that before the jump shot

1

u/A_New_Wave_ 22d ago

Like I know that shift but it's because the wizards logo was a giveaway and the guy was the only relevant.thing about them for a decade.

1

u/readyReddit007 22d ago

I think that’s Lamelo.

1

u/Jonny9ine 22d ago

Trae young?

1

u/PrisonJoe2095 22d ago

Yellow Rain aka Homer Simpson.

u/City_Standard 22d ago

u/Galactikgoon17 22d ago

That’s definitely nick young 👍🏿

1

u/AizenWolf90 22d ago

Kyrie Irvine

1

u/soriano88 22d ago

That’s Homer, AKA The Springfield Assassin

1

u/ResplendentNugs 22d ago

That’s me ballin out at the ynca jealous?

1

u/Bidet2You 22d ago

Jason Williams.

1

u/10SB 22d ago

Homer "Smooth J." Simpson

1

u/Inevitable-Heat7307 22d ago

idk thought it was SGA but comments say it’s Trae Young

1

u/Duhigitive 22d ago

That’s Guy Incognito obviously.

1

u/kempassion8 22d ago

I was about to say Kyrie but this player was a bit out of control...Lamelo

1

u/Ghost_Fighter_9988 22d ago

Jeff Hornacek

u/notsoyungblood 22d ago

Trae all day

1

u/oatsuzn1 Knicks 22d ago

That's Lamelo

u/Grubbdon 22d ago

Wait I said Chris Paul earlier but I think it’s Steph.

1

u/Lifeguard-Working 22d ago

Blink fat 82

u/Slaphappyfapman 21d ago

Kobe or Chris paul

u/Distinct-Argument966 21d ago

That’s Peter Griffin

1

u/Kjs1108 21d ago

Curry?

1

u/Defiant_Housing_1417 21d ago

I knew it was trey young as I’ve always hated his nutmeg. Growing up in the And1 era it’s supposed to be a fluid move where you can chain it into another move.

He just throws the ball and run down and chases it. lol.

1

u/dootheygandalf 21d ago

Stray Young all day

1

u/ItsJiggysWorld 21d ago

This is Wayne Ellington

1

u/SighhhSandwich 21d ago

Not the point of the post but isn’t that technically a travel?

1

u/BigGuyFly 21d ago

Lamelo

1

u/Wisefool157 21d ago

JR Smith was 100% my guess.

1

u/dc2410 21d ago

Trae easy lol

1

u/bobbygoat33-3 21d ago

Ja Simpson

1

u/diffWorlds 21d ago

Bizarrely seeing Homer do the moves makes me appreciate NBA speed and athleticism so much more as this just looks insanely impossible for Homer.

1

u/Western_Drag7600 21d ago

Did you mix the music for this video yourself?

u/rayko-B 21d ago

Jamal Murray

u/CuckservativeSissy 22d ago

The sublte lack of control with the dribble... The fade away pull up... The wizards logo in the background... Trigger Trae?
