What happened with that? I dont even remember

It was eons ago so I don't remember the exact thing...but I remember we were playing a team and I think Oladipo celebrated like a dunk or something and a poster called his celebration rude. And it's been a meme ever since.

Honestly, someone with better memory can explain it.

I think it may have been against OKC with Durant and WB and we had a lead and they came back after that Dipo dunk.

talking about celebrations , i do find it (in general; league wide, not talking about suggs here specifically) pretty hilarious how even a contested bucket or layup will bring out massive flexes and taunting and what not. I'm too old for that I think because it makes my eyes roll.

I love the ESPN quote on our clear vest winner: Jalen Suggs added 18 points and a lot of energy

Yeh: the cummerbund deserves to go to Banchero

Anthony's double-double is mittens worth to me

Lollypops to: F-Wagner, Isaac, M-Wagner, G-Harris, and ....
.... OKEKE! He went for 6 points on only 4 minutes. Scrubalicious.

Suggs easily for me. It seems like he is playing hurt though and that scares me

The way he plays he always within shouting distance of an injury. That's just the cold reality and I'm sure he's aware of the risk himself.

I’m thinking our record & defensive ranking is going to bring Suggs into the national eye a bit…he IS special…not just a pretty good defender, he’s different. Like Isaac-you just feel it when he’s out there and that’s becoming the team’s infectious identity…like Brooks with MEM’s culture (before he went overboard and got ejected- which they may already regret).

Suggs is starting to become one of the most entertaining players to watch. He reminds me of Darrel Armstrong but with a lot more talent.

I'm pretty sure I came up with a Billups comp for him at some point as his high end scenario. Standing by that. KEEPER

The Raptor fans really do not like Suggs.

I browsed through their game thread (over 80 pages!) and Suggs gave them a complete meltdown.

I don't compare Suggs to Barnes as many do, but I think that Suggs has the ability to become one of the most disliked players (by fans) in the NBA if he continues down this path.

Of course, nearly every one would want him on their team in a microsecond.

His post game interview (go to the official Magic website for post game videos) was simply masterful.

Hard to believe a player so young that has such a good idea of who he is as a basketball player.

I said recently that he found Darrell Armstrong’s coffee and spiked it

Darrel Armstrong is an all time favorite of mine. I do get similar vibes from Suggs.

I’m giving it to Cole this time. 10 assist was enormous. 5 blocks was too from Goga.

The Raptors board is hilarious and sad after that ass beating.

They think Jalen Suggs hasn’t played like this all season??? Why do people pretend like they watch Magic games when they clearly don’t. They just glance at box scores like I’m guessing 1/4 of this board does.

Also, it’s sad that Toronto fans talk like they have done anything substantial aside from being a stopgap destination for a top 5 player before he promptly left with them crying. They talk like they have a clearly superior organization and it’s comical.

I’ve noticed a trend with these fanbases when Orlando stomps them this season. They say **** like “we must really suck because Orlando beat us by 15-20”… like it’s unfathomable that Orlando can’t just be a good team this year? Losers.

Was teetering between Paolo and Suggs for the vest here because I feel like Paolo looked like a star, but once I saw the team express how contagious Suggs’s energy level was, that tipped me over to the vest for Jalen.

I love their passion and would take that over the distain many Magic fans have for Magic players (that they call “realism”).

IMO, the very worse trades proposed on the Trades annd Transactions Board about the Magic players are proposed by Magic fans. And I am talking about undervaluing Magic players.
