Ainge is such a bastard on the basketball court. All that unreleased mormon aggression just comes out in the most annoying pest behavior.
lol that last top view angle is funny though, he and Hakeem are hugging it up and Mario just gets absolutely creamed
the head snap đ
also makes it so much more obvious Ainge wasnât even looking at Chuck
What was up with Elie mouthing off after the first bucket? The defense there didn’t seem like anything dirty, just a buildup of pest stuff over the course of the game?
Dudes a little dick now as an office guy, and then as a player..
Ultimate Napoleon bitch
>*âDanny Ainge needs to shut the fuck up and manage his own team. He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him.â*
Yeah that was about as much of an âaccidentâ as Ron Artest elbowing James Harden.
Doug Collins’ call on this and the previous play is fucking atrocious.
He basically called Mario Ehlie an awful human being over a quick taunt,
then doesn’t say anything about the guy who threw the ball at his head immediately afterwards.
bitch ass
BYU players being dirty little fuckers has been going on way longer than soaking lol
Getting hit in the head by a straight pass shakes you up so bad. I can only imagine how much worse it is when itâs done by a professional athlete. I didnât feel right for a couple days and it was just a hard pass in warm ups before a high school game
Danny Ainge doesn’t forget.
BOOM HEADSHOT!!!!!!!1
Danny Ainge looks like the punk rich tennis playing neighbor who always pops his collar
âAccidentallyâ yea sure lmao
He almost got beat up on his final play lol
Thatâs why Ellie gave them the Kiss of Death.
My friends and I are obsessed with the 1996 video game NBA Hangtime. In that game, Mario Elie runs around with his neck sideways at a 90 degree angle. We nicknamed him Brokeneck Elie.
Today I found his origin story.
I feel Mario Elie, Chuck Heyes, and PJ Tucker are all spiritual successors of each other on the Rockets
I laughed more than I shouldâve watching this just now
SAS!
BackâŚ.. and to the left
Ainge might have been the best high school athlete of all time, still the only one to be all-American in basketball, football, and baseball.
Never liked Ainge when he was in the NBA,whiny instigator.
Any follow up from Ainge on if it was an accident?
Lol… even Chuck wanted to dodge that ball.
Is there anything more embarrassing than lunging at a guy to make him flinch and getting zero reaction?
I guess getting hit in the face with a full speed basketball, then lunging at a guy to get no reaction is probably more embarrassing.
so many times where Ainge deserved to get rocked in the face. so glad horry launched a towel at him
I started off as a Lakers fan while I was living in the islands. Magic was my favorite player of all time, and still is. But I also loved Danny Ainge. It’s weird to love players on opposite sides of a rivalry, but the rivalry is what made me love him. He was scrappy, but also nailed some big shots for Boston.
I never was a big fan of Ainge but I have to give him respect, he was a fearless tough as nails player(and dirty) and despite being tiny and short for the NBA never hesitated to tussle with behemoths a foot taller and 60lbs every night.
Lmao Ainge pretends to be concerned about not touching the ball for the purpose of team possession, after blatantly drilling Ellie on purpose.
Danny Ainge, Dodgeball legend.
I remember watching this as a kid. I was/is a huge suns fan. They were up 2-0 in the series and choked, but this made me and my dad laugh so hard.
Mario Elle canât dodge a wrench, either.
Then Ainge asked for 5 first draft picks
Knowing Marioâs reputation, Iâm surprised he didnât take a swing at Ainge. He was always down for a scrap.
Cool story but whoever cut that clip with the music should get a fucking ball to the face, too
As a lifelong celtics fan from western mass i love both of these players and i still laugh my ass off everytime i see it.
Ball one, just a little outside.
funny seeing vernon maxwell trying to calm everyone down
Fans: “Why do sports have rules against taunting?”
Angry Danny Ainge: *whammo*
I never knew he actually was in the MLB. He had 665 at bats too, so actually played at that level.
I wonder why it never gets brought up. Way more impressive than Jordan not even getting called up to the major league
Heâs lucky he didnât do it to Maxwell
love it
Boom Headshot đ
I feel like him being a professional basketball player is probably more relevant to him throwing a basketball accurately.
