When NBA Coaches and Players Literally Cheated to Win

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
These are the times players outsmarted the NBA. And first up, we got the time Jason Terry did JR hella dirty.
This dude really dapped him up just to give his own teammate a free layup. That's cold. Now, as cold as that was, this next one is even worse. The time DeMarcus Cousins decided to flop like Prime Neymar Jr. Cousins to the dribble.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:26)
Cousins over way.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:30)
He had one thing in mind. Not taking it coast to coast. He's down and he's hurt.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:35)
Man flopped so hard, he had both himself and AD laughing. But an even smarter moment has to be this next one. The time Taj Gibson decided to play D with his shoe?

**SPEAKER_4** (0:46)
It's really dangerous to be running around up here with your stocking feet even though you've seen it before.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:54)
Wait a minute, hold up, did Taj Gipson just try to block a shot with his shoe? Alright now, we gotta talk about Andrew Wiggins for a second, cuz this dude literally gave another NBA player a vasectomy mid game.
Wiggins, how you gonna kick someone in the nuts and then laugh it off? That's just disrespectful bro. Now, for this next one, we got something special. Cuz you're about to see a tactic so deadly, it left the Rockets completely speechless.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:28)
Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:41)
Now, hitting your opponent in the head and then sinking a three should be illegal. But what Kendrick Perkins did to our next moment was really disrespectful. Cuz you're about to see the most illegal screen in NBA history. Damn, imagine having a 500-pound giant just chilling on you. I don't think anyone would like that, except Patti Bill.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:17)
Miller, made up the dribble, back door, he spots Curry.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:24)
Uh, Myers, I don't think you're allowed to do that mid-game, but an even weirder moment has to be this next one. Pay attention to Mark Keith Moore is here. Did Morris just pull DeAndre Hunter out of bounds? I swear no one likes the Morris brothers. It's a good thing he got a 25K fine for that BS. Now, sometimes players just like to prank each other during the game. No one's gotta get tricked or disrespected, like this next one.
All right, now, it might not have been the most effective moment in the world, but JR and Howard are just too funny, bro. All right, we're entering the last half of the clips, so things are about to go to a whole new level. It was just the 1920 regular season, Lakers vs. Warriors, when this happened.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:35)
Here we go, second half action.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:37)
Lakers with the same five on the board.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:40)
We saw starting the game.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:42)
Underneath, wide open McGee. Nobody home.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:45)
I've always said many, many, many times, Yeah, the three-time Shaq and a full MVP just made the Warriors look like fools. That's tough, man. That's tough. Now for our next moment, we got Karan Butler pulling off the strangest trick in NBA history. Make sure you pay attention to what Karan does here.
Did you see that high five trick? Great work, Karan, great work. But trust me when I tell you, this ain't even the best moment. Because for our next one, Marcelo Huerta made one of the smartest defensive plays you'll ever see. He straight up hit behind the coach. This dude is too damn smart. Now, for talking smart moments, how can we not mention Jose Alvarado, aka Grand Theft Alvarado? This dude took the NBA by storm during his 2022 playoff debut. But there's one specific game that takes the cake. Three point shots go wide over that time. No better to say that again. He looked like he was out of bounds, like he was not even in the game. Now, even if this dude had a 99% success rate with his steals, there was one dude who outsmarted him, and we got him at our next moment. It was the 2019 game between OKC and the Timberwolves. 121 to 119, one second left.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:37)
It happens more often than not. Sometimes, refs should just be like, whatever. But that is the rule. You know what I mean?

**SPEAKER_1** (5:43)
If you check in without your jersey, you can tuck this through. It's a delay of game. Yeah, CP3 really caught the Wolves players lacking, and OKC managed to turn the whole game around with one second left on the clock.
This dude is just too damn smart. Now, these types of NBA moments don't always gotta include actual players. Sometimes, the refs get involved, like this next one. Hey yo, doesn't the ref have to blow the whistle before they can start play? I swear the Clippers had the ref in their back pocket. All right, we're coming down the stretch, which means we bumped this up to another level. And coming up first, we got the worst flopping NBA history.
