**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
This is an embarrassing ankle breaker, and this is an embarrassing handshake, but this is an embarrassing mistake. These are every NBA star's most embarrassing moment. And first, Steph Curry had his shot blocked in the most embarrassing way ever seen.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:17)
A little late driving, blocked away by Harkin.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:21)
Yeah, Steph took that to the face, but Luka Doncic took one over his head, because Andrew Wiggins called Luka under the rim lacking and put him on a poster.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:30)
Goes by Bullock.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:32)
Drops the sledgehammer.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:34)
Yeah, Luka looking like he took a bullet, but even the most skilled make embarrassing plays, just like the time Kyrie Irving threw a layup to the nosebleed.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:42)
Drive, scoops, missed it, and spills out to the floor.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:45)
Hope no one got a concussion from that souvenir, but hey, Kyrie wasn't the only one handing out freebies, because Donovan Mitchell tried to get flashy and missed everything. Yeah, the Spider tried to laugh it off like he wouldn't get flamed, but Nicola Jokic's embarrassing moment had him shook. See, Jokic was in a post-game interview when he thought he ruined it all.
The Joker broke the mic like Paul George broke off Anthony Edwards, cause PG had Ant-Man on skates.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:23)
77-69, George down the lane, hangs and hits. What a play by Paul George.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:30)
But Giannis Antistacompo took his embarrassing moment off the court. See, Giannis thought he had jokes for the media until the room went silent.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:38)
What's Trey's song, new song called?
You guys know? No?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:45)
Banana, banana. No?
Oh, no, no, banana.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:55)
Yeah, dude just needed to drop the mic and leave, and so did Jalen. See, Jalen forced an offensive foul call on Giannis, but the Greek freak got the last laugh. And Jalen didn't like being embarrassed, so he let the world know he was fed up.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:09)
Giannis is a child. I'm just focused on helping my team get a win.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:14)
Yeah, Jalen has something to say, but Trey Young was caught reaching when he got crossed into another dimension.
Damn, was there ice on the floor, Trey? But he wasn't the only one to get embarrassed on his ass. Just pay attention to Mello Ball. Damn, sometimes you gotta take it to the chest, but James Harden took it to the face.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:39)
Josh Harden has to worry about the contact.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:42)
Harden just lost the man.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:43)
Oh, and then put it into his own chin.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:45)
Yeah, James humiliated himself, but Harden has handed out more viral moments than he's taken, just like the time James Handles had Murray dancing like a puppet on strings.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:55)
He's chops.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:56)
Oh, he fell down on that.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:59)
Oh, Harden with a cold blooded three.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:04)
But ankle breakers happened to the best defenders of all time, just as Chris Paul, cuz Steph Curry snatched Chris' ankles so bad, he broke the internet.
Yeah, Chris is having nightmares about that to this day. But even the best NBA coaches aren't safe from the embarrassment. See, the pistons in the heat were tied when Miami had zero timeouts left. That's when air exposure ruined the game with the most embarrassing technical foul ever.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:31)
They called timeout and they don't have one.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:34)
That's a technical foul.

**SPEAKER_9** (3:35)
And Malik Beasley is gonna shoot it.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:37)
Now, they just had to sink one free throw, so Malik Beasley called game. Even coaches have mental breakdowns, but Tracy McGrady lost his mind. Because T-Mac was so pissed the foul wasn't called, he kicked himself out the game.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:52)
I mean, I tell you what, that's why I love the guy.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:55)
And Tracy kicks the ball into the stand.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:58)
And gets the technical foul for it.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:01)
That will cost him some money as well.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:06)
He kicked out about 20 rows up, and it's Mac, and Beas kicked again.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:10)
He's out of the game. And he is. He's gone.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:13)
We'll be laughing at Tracy's embarrassment for years, but Kawhi Leonard took the giggles to the max. Now look, Kawhi is one of the most mysterious players in the NBA. So when a reporter wanted to know more about him, Kawhi let him know why he was the fun guy.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:26)
I'm a fun guy. Obviously, I love the game of basketball.
I mean, it's just more question you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I just can't give you a whole spiel. I don't even know where you're sitting at. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
