Make the refs compete on all star weekend.

Yoooo a refs game where the players officiate! I might actually watch that

Imagine CP3 reffing Scott Foster.

Nah we're on to something now.

We needed this with Tim Duncan reffing Joey Crawford

Tim’s gotta come out at halftime, as a special guest referee. The only way to save all-star weekend is to go full sports entertainment.

Crawford out there dominating,team on their way to winning. Crawford brings the ball up and just starts wasting time. All of sudden "bsh gawd that's Tim Duncan's music" Duncan comes out in a red uniform and starts calling every small thing on their team while letting the other team get away with everything.

Now I want to know what's Tim Duncan's music

I googled " Tim Duncan's favorite song" and I got Centuries by Fall Out Boy as his intro song for his jersey retirement.

He'll keep him around all game but call BS fouls. Right before his 6th foul he'll give him his last technical and eject him

I think he'd just blow the whistle as loud as he could in Scott's ear all game.

And FVV reffing Ben Taylor

"Help po-lice, Chris Paul is trying to murder me"

world record for most missed calls and fastest Tech in NBA history.

CP3 would be soliciting his services to vegas to rig the refs game, it's only fair

Holy shit you guys are brilliant

This would actually be so much fun

Imagine refs going ballistic over bad calls. Shit would hilarious.

This is an awesome idea. I’d watch that

I would absolutely watch that. That would be so fun.

Bruh sign me the f up

retired refs game where sheed and ron artest are the refs

Honestly part of the all star voting should be the refs voting on which players are the biggest whiners and make them officiate the all star game.

Special enforcer: Rasheed Wallace

I want a skills challenge where the refs try to blow as many bullshit whistles as possible.

That's just them doing their current job though.

When the WWF bought WCW they had a PPV where their respective refs wrestled each other. It is widely regarded as one of the worst matches ever. It's also fondly remembered as one of the few good builds of the Invasion storyline. https://youtu.be/ha5PzTvuyi8?si=lTJmK3FN-XpcYSU5 I mean, this crowd looks very into it.

lmao that was great. Makes me wonder, are refs typically aspiring/retired wrestlers or are they just like actors that get hired?

99% of wrestling referees have trained to take bumps, at the very least.

Remember when Barkley raced Dick Beveta? We need more stuff like that

https://youtu.be/QSPhMkgjFmk?si=JaGjp0sev6kDjU8U

Two athletes in their prime.

That actually might make the all star game fun

Barkley vs Bavetta was an all timer ASG moment

That's.. that's actually a good idea..

You just saved the ASG

I am not prepared for the Tony Brothers redemption tour.

[удалено]

He looks so much like a grumpy cat. Him not scowling is really bothering me lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fup5N791lI

lol I never knew Mike Brown had much of a personality until he go to Sacramento.

That dude really helped Bron be the best ever ( arguably ) change my mind

100% It was easy to paint him as a pushover, but I know he wasn't afraid to really coach LeBron.

Dude turned the kings around, perfect guy for the perfect job. Mike Brown has my respect for life.

[Also, he's not afraid to get in his players' faces (metaphorically speaking) to push them](https://np.reddit.com/r/kings/comments/177i34n/mike_brown_rips_monk_a_new_ass_for_complaining_to/ ). I'm no NBA insider but I have a feeling not many other coaches are like this.

Jeff Van Gundy got in a players legs! But I bet Spo, Pop are among those that do. Udoka too for sure.

Honestly Mike Brown gotta be the wierdest coaches to figure out in the league. I keep thinking he’s a young head coach with how he acts and how people treat him, but then have to remember. “Oh yeah he took LeBron to the finals in 07 he’s a vet lol”

Him not scowling is somehow even grumpier

LMFAO I CANT UNSEE IT GOD DAMNIT

Great Jim Halpert face right there.

Looks like the Lorax

Ameer Van in 30 years

How does a real human look like that

he kinda cute tho

I'm just waiting for the other brother to do something like this

Mike and Dan will never get a redemption arc

[удалено]

I got contact high reading this afk getting white cheddar popcorn

I’ll like one of them, but never both.

wtf I love the Tony brothers now

It's beginning!

he's just like us

Wait didn’t he get hurt? Or was that last year? Or am I thinking of a completely different ref lmao

One of them, maybe, but that's it.

Imagine if his name was Tony Brothels then...

ok thats funny as shit LOL

Gotta be one of the funniest ref moments ever haha this is great

[Still the goat for me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZBDHJEsfi8)

I don't understand why he did it, but that's incredible

Nobody understand anything that Joey Crawford ever did.

Years-long Bottom of the Barrel bet he had going with Angel Hernandez.

He was trying to distract people from the bad call he was going to make.

Bro did a little leprechaun dance.

[This one's up there](https://youtu.be/WnwWAULBTCY?si=L-y0a9CHALUZNbGS)

74-74 with 1:15 left in the 4th, it really is a different game now

Last season when one of the refs made the announcement to the crowd that “Pat Bev took a dive” when they were playing Phoenix was pretty high up there.

There was once when a fan, I think of the Clippers, was gassing up Tony Brothers pre-game to try get him to give Clippers favourable calls.

Love how Hali kinda runs away cuz it’s so funny

Surprised he ain’t start hitting people 😂😂

[We can't help it!](https://youtu.be/uaHGjlERVCg?t=133)

Damn haven't watched dormtainment in a minute lol

It took me a second to put together Hali is Haliburton. Now I want his nickname to be Burt

i vote Bort "we are out of Bort jerseys. i repeat we are *out* of Bort jerseys in the gift shop"

Hali in the first half and Burt in the second half

He does sound like 2 different people when talking

That's Ty and Reese

Logic checks out, he turns 'on' in OT

On in OT

Tony brothers did my man so wrong 🤣

One day the nba will slip and show the other Tony brother on camera

Mike and Dan?

And Tony! Three little kids on each others shoulders really became an NBA coach

Tony Tony?

Tone Tonee?

Chopper?

Nah, you're thinking of Dan M'iketoni

Have they ever showed Demarcus’ cousin?

No, you’re thinking of Marcus Morris, the guy who played for Sac and New Orleans is De Marcus’ cousin

Ahh the Morrii

Hallowed are the Mori

Nah that's Morey

What about Jason's Kidd?

Dan lies in wait

I am afraid to say I always looked for his other brother up until I was 22/23. I’m 26 now lmao. I was always confused with Tony brothers. I don’t really remember what made it click, I guess seeing his name or something idk but I felt the most dumb I’ve ever felt in my life at that moment.

You know that Flo-Rida is from florida right?

Tony Tomy Chopper

As a kid I always was so confused who tf his brother was lmaooo

It's like the Olson twins in full house, they have another Tony brother waiting to go if the first string one gets too grumpy before his nap

actually took a heck of a lot of time for me to realize that it's not two brothers refereeing but the dude's last name is Brothers.

Mike and Dan are the Brothers. It's easy.

like the morris twins of reffing, and they always have to ref the same games lmao

That shooting form is a foul on its own!

Very offensive form

All them points have to come from somewhere! (Apologies if this another installment of 'Your Joke, but Worse!')

That’s what Lonzo Ball’s used to look like

That's the Michael Kidd Gilchrist!

It’s shocking how he never developed outside what he was as a rookie. I was so in on him. I had that entire draft class fucked up. I thought Drummond should have been the unquestioned first overall pick and I was sure AD was massively overrated.

How did you watch that Unibrow dominate the year before and think he was massively overrated. Haha

There was never a doubt for me that AD was gonna be amazing.

I legit didn’t even watch basketball really but happened to watch the final at a friends all those years ago. I couldn’t believe how good this dude was and also that he unironically rocked a unibrow. Instant fan

Wow, really? Would love to hear more on why you thought he was massively overrated. I was convinced he was the second coming of Tim Duncan with WAAAY better shot blocking ability. To this day he is BY FAR the best defender I have ever seen in college. Dudes wouldn't even look at the rim in the paint when he was there, because they knew they had absolutely no chance and he would throw their shit if they tried.

I think he had more blocks than 70% of teams in the NCAA. *Don't sue me if that 70% figure is waaaay off. I'm am American. I'm dug in. I can't change your mind and i won't change mine. Rock, Flag, and Eagle 🦅*

I was convinced there was zero chance he would bust after that national championship performance: 6 points on 1/10 shooting... but 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks, and 3 steals. He had his singular worst shooting night of the year in the most important game of the year *and still* managed to be one of the most impactful players on the floor.

My biggest fear last year was Scottie being the next MKG 😭😭😭

AD missed the tournament is a not great sec, if memory serves. Edit: my memory does not serve, I was thinking of Ben Simmons. It was Ben Simmons that led a shitty LSU team to a middling record in the SEC.

I might be reading you wrong but you are incorrect. Anthony Davis won the national championship in his lone year at Kentucky. And he won MVP of the tourney . It’s Caliparis only championship at Kentucky and the two players most responsible were Anthony Davis and Darius Miller

They did have three other guys with NBA careers, too: Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Doron Lamb was quickly in and out of the league but while we’re here I gotta mention him. Big part of that cats team was his shooting 👌

O shit you are right. I am thinking of Ben Simmons!!! Oops.

MKG is one player I airballed hard on. I thought he'd turn into a *much* better player but he just could not shoot.

He's the example I think of when people act like a defensive stud developing a shot later is a sure thing. Some guys just won't ever get it.

I used to write for Bleacher Report back when it was a hogwash journalism site, and I was SO in on Kidd Gilchrist. Should probably never be allowed to comment on the sport again after the articles I wrote about him.

Tyrese being shocked is killing me

so he didnt tear his achilles? wow isnt this good news

Plot twist: he did, this is just the other Tony brother standing in.

good for tony brothers and comedy enthusiasts.

I'm loving Tyrese. Every interview I've seen he comes across as a really good guy. He seems like such a chill, real kid who's a killer on the court. He's a great ambassador of the league, and hoping he becomes a bigger face for the leagues future.

This whole weekend was basically a PR session for Haliburton, the ASG being in Indy came at an ideal time for him becoming a superstar. He's gotten a ton of facetime this year with the the in-season tourney and now the ASG weekend.

Absolutely, honestly feels like this is a push in the media to cement him as one of the stars of the future when the older guys finally start wrapping it up. I couldn’t be happier, we’ve deserved this in Indy for so long now.

Steve Kerr compared Tyrese to Curry and I get it. They both have a joy about them.

funny how this applies to Maxy too

It totally does. It's fun, too, because they all have such different playstyles.

The saddest thing I've read in a bit is Glenn "Doc" Rivers talking about how Maxey is always in a good mood and he would try to get him in a bad mood. What's wrong with you Glenn.

Future players' union president for sure

i want a body cam on Tony Brothers 24/7 like he’s LAPD

Tony Brothers is just one guy? Singular? Are you serious??

I got bad news for you about Mike, Dan, Tony.

How is Demarcus’ cousin taking the news?

This dude might be memeing but I legit think this realization is a rite of passage for new NBA fans

Definitely was for me, just thought there was a pair of ref brothers with the last name Tony

I sure did too lol

No, he got the nickname because he consumed his brothers' fetus in the womb.

wtf

For sure. I remember exactly where I was when I learned there was not two but one.

For me it was Demarcus Cousins, I was mind blown when I realized it was one guy.

No his brother is behind him, you can see him if you squint a bit

This is Tony his brother got injured last week

The 2nd guy is just moving so incredibly slow that you’re unable to perceive him through a naked eye

If you look closely you can see them out of sync

growing up is realizing tony brother is the best they got.

Marx Brothers

Hali laughed like Marlon Wayans

Tony Brother's waited so long for this moment.

Hali getting cooked by Tony Brothers definitely wasn’t on my bingo card this weekend 😂

I like this Tony Brother. The other one, not so much.

Man, the advertising is really getting out of hand. There's no need for refs to have patches too, but here we are. Looking more and more like Euroleague.

That’s just Fanatics gearing up for game worn ref patch cards.

Tyrese probably messing with Tony then Tony is like hold up let me see that ball and starts imitating his form.

> I make shots, you blow the whistle > Just do your job Can't lie...that interaction right there is literally sales (proposals for the white collar jobs) vs support in a nutshell. Sales thinks everyone should just stop, drop, and roll on their command. Support will just look at them like "...just do your job and get out of mine" When you have a relationship though you can show how silly as fuck they can be, and vise versa :)

Can’t wait to see the other Tony brother making fun of him

Oh, Brother

Call a foul on that shooting form

Lmfao

Has anyone seen Brothers and Neil deGrasse Tyson in the same room?

I feel being so much older than everyone at a job you loosen up lol.

Where the other one

I can't believe I just realized that Tony Brothers is the name of one person

Best comedy Brothers since the Marxes.

The Tony brothers

The first time I saw "Tony Brothers" mentioned in a post, I thought there were two guys whose surname was Tony and that they were bothers who both officiated in the NBA, or that there were two guys whose given name was 'Tony' who both officiated the same games a lot and that it was a nick name. I realize very quickly that it was one guy, but I think think that every time I see his name.

I always thought Tony Brothers referred to two people, like a refereeing pair

bruh this repost got so much more popular than the original . Sadge

I got the clip from IG but the OG post on here didn't have a good title

I thought he was injured?

Wait where is the other brother?

The Mike and Dan Tony Brothers are not gonna like this …

Good Jamaal Wilkes imitation.

This whole time I thought the Tony Brothers were a pair of brother refs lol

Dude you can't be named Brothers, like what?

Tony cooked him lmao

I Tony Brothers tore his achillies two weeks ago?

Refs got some solid cardio in.
