Crossing the Line: The Most Unforgivable Acts of NBA Disrespect

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
From the nastiest dunks you've ever seen, Oh my goodness! to a player disrespecting a whole franchise.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:08)
Looks like me and Shaq had a baby.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:11)
These are disrespectful moments in the NBA. And first, Scottie Pippen's most disrespectful dunk ever.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:20)
Myers for Pippen.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:21)
Oh, a face roll! Scottie Pippen in the face of Patrick Ewing, who did not appreciate it.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:29)
Holy moly, he damn near forced it down Ewing's throat. But Steph Curry had to humble rookie Jalen Brown.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:35)
You already know that. They haven't been called for any foe.

**SPEAKER_8** (0:39)
Steph trying to get one.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:40)
But he does! The three to end it!

**SPEAKER_1** (0:44)
This man is a menace. Just like this next one. Cause Joe Johnson once had Paul Pierce on all fours.

**SPEAKER_9** (0:50)
Five on the shot clock. Joe Johnson.

**SPEAKER_11** (0:54)
Takes it. Takes it.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:56)
Yeah, it was like a cobra there.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:00)
Oh my god. That man got cooked. But one player didn't just get cooked. He got embarrassed.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:06)
They've had a nice run with six men of the year.

**SPEAKER_12** (1:08)
Five of them in the last nine.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:10)
Nope.

**SPEAKER_13** (1:11)
Lewill, of course, won a couple of those.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:13)
I don't care what your three point percentage is. You gotta shoot that. But in the end, who cares as long as Brody is having fun?

**SPEAKER_14** (1:20)
Keep having fun, bro.

**SPEAKER_15** (1:21)
When losing y'all, have fun.

**SPEAKER_14** (1:22)
Just keep having fun, bro. Yes, sir.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:25)
But trash or not, Trey Young did something so disrespectful, it had him turned into a villain.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:31)
So how are they going to find an answer for this man right here? Oh, my goodness.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:36)
He's going to shake the shoulder and hit the three.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:39)
Um, dude literally gave him a shimmy, hit the three and the stare down. That's straight up dirty. But Anthony Edwards bodied his favorite player, Kevin Durant.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:49)
A 39-22 advantage on the glass for the Wolves.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:57)
Goddamn! I would never do my favorite player like that, but Aaron Gordon tried to kill Landry Shumet.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:03)
Here comes Aaron Gordon the other way.
Gordon! Oh, my goodness!

**SPEAKER_1** (2:11)
Now, that was a good steal.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:13)
An offensive foul!

**SPEAKER_12** (2:15)
There's no challenge left.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:16)
At least the Zebras didn't mess up the play. Now, that dunk was filthy, but at least he didn't dance on his opponent. See, during the 2022 playoffs, the Warriors went up against the Grizzlies. And in game one, Desmond Bain crossed up Curry. That's when John Moran took the disrespect to another level.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:36)
Good transition defense from Golden State. Bain steps back three-pointer.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:43)
Now, usually, I would let that slide. But heading into the final seconds of the game with scores all tied, John Moran got a chance to win game one.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:50)
Moran on the drive, scoop layup.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:52)
No good. It's over.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:54)
And after that, Curry made sure to clap his cheeks back.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:00)
Come on.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:02)
But all right, at least John didn't go after LeGos. See, it was the 2018 conference finals. And for the first time in ages, teams in the East were not fearing LeBron, especially rookie Jason Tatum.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:13)
Tatum drives down.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:15)
That throws him down.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:16)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:23)
Jesus, this dude not only dunked on Lebron, he chest bumped him. But that would turn out to be his biggest mistake, because if there's anything Lebron won't accept, it's being disrespected.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:33)
Three on one break for Boston, Rojia to the basket. Oh, blocked by James.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:38)
Between the legs. Drives continues off balance, banks it home. Tepton taken by James.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:44)
Here comes James in the upper floor. James, grab from behind.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:48)
Count it. Goal ten and one.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:50)
Yeah, LeBron don't like that. And neither does this next one. Cause Anthony Edwards had Reggie Jackson proposing to him.

**SPEAKER_9** (3:57)
They got eight.
Edwards the other way. Trying to work his way in.

**SPEAKER_13** (4:02)
Caldwell Pope will meet him.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:03)
Right there. That was almost a proposal. I don't know what Reggie Jackson was doing now, if he's proposing or not, but.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:08)
Ah, damn.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:09)
Dude really dropped him on his knees and then pointed at him. But all right, we're taking Disrespectful to a whole new level. It was the 2022 NBA season, and NBA star Zion Williamson was about to do something that would have the whole other team ready to jump his ass. And no, I'm not talking about going to an all-you-can-eat buffet. This dude wanted to go from disrespected to fear. See, since entering the league, this man has been bullied by the media.
