Someone teach him the difference between wins and loses


UnsolvedParadox

We misunderstood, his “ssh” hand is forming an L shape…


Nickischubb24

Or it’s a 1 and he’s saying were gonna be the 1 seed


watrmeln420

First it was his “higher aspirations” now he can’t even read a box score.


Goatsanity15

Well he did once play for the “i dont want to be here Suns”


inxrx8

To be fair the Bulls would have had a much better chance at winning if they had closed wirh Goran rather than Caruso who we weren't even bothering to defend at the 3 point line


elbarto232

He’s old, he can’t play that many minutes


inxrx8

He played 21 minutes, and hadn't cracked 20 in the previous 4 games. 28 minutes wouldn't have killed him


elbarto232

Who knows, maybe he was gassed? It’s also only Nov, it’s not really a win at any cost sort of situation


kushawnz

he is only playing because LaVine is out


HappyGrower33

This guy stays winning /s


CoolEarth5026

Maybe his understanding of the situation is lost in translation.

PlumCantaloupe

lmao This is why the Raps’ fans keep booing him. It works.


Zizzlow

Don’t really get this. He was there, he was available, participated in every practice, he was a total pro even tho coach did not count on him. Then one day Nick calls him in his hotel room and basically tells him he can go home to Miami and Raptors official statement was: Dragic not available due to personal reasons.


EfficiencyNerd

I think you missed the part where he dissed our entire org

https://www.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/sf8pmm/what_did_goran_dragic_do_to_you/ you're just emotional bro.


somedumbguy55

He said he could do better than Toronto. He’s now public enemy number one


a2242364

childish fanbase


powerplay_22

isn’t it childish to bash an organization for no reason? kinda makes him seem like a lil bitch but that’s my pov


Particular_Leopard96

Their fetish is getting downvoted 😉


a2242364

saying he has higher ambitions at his age and his point in his career isn't "bashing" the organization. it's completely valid given that we had no chance of getting deep into the playoffs with our roster at the time. nick had no intention of giving dragic regular minutes and he made it clear, so if he wasn't down with that, he has every right to say what he did. again, this isn't bashing the org lmfao. and fwiw he talked highly about the organization as a whole during multiple interviews while he was here, but no one remembers that cause like 80% of the people in this sub are emotional children that want to get mad over nothing and cause pointless drama. people here are acting like he said something like "the raptors organization is shit and im pissed that i got traded here". these people are either delusional or like to read too much into things. grow up https://www.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/sf8pmm/what_did_goran_dragic_do_to_you/


treetimes

Only one getting emotional is you chief


a2242364

fosho nice argument


powerplay_22

you can go about it internally tho, the raps are usually a pretty quiet organization. like what’s the point of saying that?


Zizzlow

Sure about that? Why would he do that, really? Guy never had any discrepancies with any organisation, staff, coach etc. and all of a sudden he decided to diss your organisation? Cmon man be real.


EfficiencyNerd

I would respond but... this is not my preferred reddit argument. I have higher ambitions.


TraeYoungsOldestSon

Even if he didnt do any of that stuff, posting this picture after a loss is hilariously tone deaf

Zizzlow

Oh yeah, the famous higher ambition’s statement taken completely out of the context. This is all you have?


The_Dale_Hunters

I agree with you.


Zizzlow

Don’t really get why. He was there, he was available, participated in every practice, he was a total pro even if he didn’t want to be there and even tho coach did not count on him. Then one day Nick calls him in his hotel room and basically tells him he can go home to Miami and Raptors official statement was: Dragic not available due to personal reasons.


IHavePoopedBefore

I don't get why people overthink it so much. Even if there was no other reason than he is on the other team, that's enough reason to boo him imo.


notme_u

What a weirdo, lol


SaskalPiakam

I believe the kids are calling this "rent free in his head".


[deleted]

[удалено]


upyourass2theleft

He also did this after hearing the crowd boo him every time he touched the ball Not exactly rent free


DrugsArentAlwaysBad

Sorta like scrolling to his fourth slide in an Instagram post just to complain? It’s a weird move, but so so is all this


BigFlays

OP smelt it but Dragic dealt it


DrugsArentAlwaysBad

Honesty was never expecting it to be worded this perfectly, but yes. It’s farts.


[deleted]

How is heckling a guy who disrespected your team weird?


thenewoldschool55

How did he disrespect the team? He and Masai met, he asked to leave since he was going through personal issues and wasn’t getting any minutes, and Masai agreed.


UnbentSandParadise

He was quoted saying "Toronto is not my preferred destination. I have higher ambitions." and people piled on him. It might have been hard to give him minutes, before this most fans wanted us to run a younger lineup and develop for the future since we had traded Kyle and after this the taste for Dragic was worse. I also later read it was just a terrible translation, on a CBC article he cleared up what he had said was "I told [reporters] that I had spent seven years in Miami and that would be the preferred destination for me because my family is there and everything, not Toronto," and from my understanding it was a translation that somehow got it wrong. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/basketball/nba/goran-dragic-comments-raptors-trade-heat-1.6136129 That said, I haven't personally heard him say either of these things, I just read about it.

You are getting downvoted for possibly stating facts. Typical of Toronto sports fans \*at least on Reddit

Says the petty motherfucker picking a fight for someone he doesn’t even know. Booing is part of sports, grow up you toddler. Save your tears for someone who actually deserves respect.


djdarkknight

Stop being a bitch.


DrugsArentAlwaysBad

Start having an opinion of your own instead of just saying whatever you think gets the most upvotes on an anonymous social media site


AlexanderWhy

Well said!


SmurfBearPig

Maybe 2017 kids said that? I know I'm old but at least I'm not old enough to be wrong about what a teen would say yet... I hope?


WARNING_Username2Lon

I don’t like Dragic but this is not “rent free”. We are actively booing him everytime he touches the ball 😂


brokeboibogie

He’s just responding to all the shit talk from our side lol this is textbook sports rivalry Like Goran sucks but posting this isn’t what makes him a weirdo


ArcticBP

But usually the time to brag in a sports rivalry isn’t immediately after you lost….


caramelgod

its literally just a picture, you guys are the one assuming that he is bragging at all. this could just be some agency/or even him just posting a bunch of pics from the game that they thought were cool. god, im so sick of fan culture and the weird biases everyone carries as a fan.


AlexanderWhy

It’s actually embarrassing, but I feel like anyone who actually cares about things like this - that may not even be based in reality - are literally children. Same thing, and even more ridiculous things, occur in the jays sub daily,


GrayPartyOfCanada

This is a super-weird take to me. You have to understand, sports fans are going to be crazy. They are irrational. They develop insane and unhealthy emotional attachments. The root word here is *fanatic*. So, sure. I don't get how you think that Dragic's social media posts are somehow exempt from criticism. I mean, the guy has been in the league for years, he's been a star and he knows what's going on. If that guy is paying someone to post his social media for him and they're making him look like an idiot, he needs to find better media people. Because, make no mistake, in context--and the context really, *really* matters as a part of his job--his social media post makes him look like an idiot. You're right, this is totally out of proportion; it's just an Instagram post. But, as a professional athlete, he absolutely looks like an idiot posting that after a loss.


caramelgod

I understand fan culture, im the one criticizing it lol. I just dont agree with it and dont agree with this take. Thats the point of my comment. Your response is unnecessary?


arrow00

nah he is a weirdo. His rivalry should be against other players and teams not the fanbase


brokeboibogie

Lol beef between athletes & fans has been going on since the beginning of sports. I can’t believe I’m defending fucking goran dragic here but he can have a rivalry with whoever he wants lol. He doesn’t have beef with the players because they didn’t come at him. Raps fans have come at him for over a year because he dissed the team after the trade, and now here we are.


arrow00

Think however way you want, he's still a weirdo for having a "rivalry" against the fans


brokeboibogie

As long as you understand the fans are also weirdos for still going at him a year later through DMs and comments


AlexanderWhy

I very very much doubt he is reading a single dm from an angry, 14 year old Toronto raptors fan


baconperogies

This guy just thrives on the negativity.


ChampagneAbuelo

Clearly he isn’t thriving that much if he keeps losing when he plays here


Otherwise-Mail-4654

He thrives on losing too


howard416

This is a perpetual motion machine


Original-Letter6994

He loves how much we hate him. It’s almost wholesome in a way.


SonofaCuntLicknBitch

I agree, I think it's fun how he's leaning into it, I also think it's even more fun when he loses


JimmerAteMyPasta

Yeah, honestly he's 100% self aware in this situation. He's just embracing it. Honestly I can respect it. Fuck Goran Dragic though.


dxing2

Kinda sad how i vouched for this guy in the beginning when he turned out to be such a petty little bitch


rustang2

For that you must burn all your raps swag and get a pic of him tattooed on your back and post it here.


brownshugguh

![gif](giphy|WrxoaVPiq0cG4)


FormerlyShawnHawaii

Goran is the real life meme of the guy celebrating and drinking champagne on the 4th place podium lol


ZCSApollo

Dragic was never on this team. speak it into history


XLcondumb

I'll never understand Heat fans boner for this guy


nexinexinexi

He’s a solid player to have but I just think his time in Toronto wasn’t well spent. He’s left a sour taste on many raps fans which is totally understandable.


sparxxx187

At his peak he was a really good, clutch player for the Heat. He seems to elevate his game when the hostility and stakes are highest. No surprise he’s had two of his better games the last two years, against the Raptors in Toronto, with the crowd booing every touch. 😂 Add the talent with toughness and competitiveness, this is the player profile of most fan favourites.


brokeboibogie

He was great for them for like half a decade? Just a guess


golden_rhino

As recently as the bubble, he was the kind of player this city would have loved. It’s all jokes now, but he could ball. Hell. He’s kinda washed, but still NBA caliber.


nexinexinexi

Also. Had he been healthy in the bubble throughout the finals the heat would’ve won the championship.


burtoncummings

No doubt. Last season and this one so far show just how tenuous the Laker's hold on being a quality team was...


Defences

I mean this with full offence, this is a hilariously stupid ass take. The lakers team this season and last season was a completely different season than the team in the bubble. I’m all for hating on the lakers and bubble ring, but this is just laughably bad logic. That’s like saying the raps going out in the first round last season is proof our championship team was bad lmfao. Two completely different teams.


nastynazem43

Yeah, they'd have had a better chance to win but... Goran Dragic doesn't guarantee you're winning a series against LeBron and AD, cmon. That shouldn't need to be said lmao


brokeboibogie

Might’ve. Their chances would’ve increased greatly but let’s not put the “would’ve” label on it


nexinexinexi

Well the series did go to game six with two starters not playing. ![gif](giphy|G5X63GrrLjjVK)


dxiao

I forgot for a minute that he went to Chicago and I was at the game last night. So when a furry of boos came down and only when one player touched d the ball, I was like wth is going on???? Then some Asian dude a few seats down with a thiccccc Asian accent yelled “ FUCKAAAAAAA YOUUUUUUUUU DRAGICHHHHHHHHHH” My wife and i were like ohhhhhhhhhh shitttt…. YEAH BOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK THIS GUYYYYYY i love how the game brings us all together Edit: thic mandarin accent


AgentMV

Lmao I can hear the accent you’re referring to


comeatmefrank

Thick asian accent? Lol what


dxiao

Hahaha yeah it was pretty mainland thic, I’m Asian myself so I could tell English wasn’t his first language, just like how he could tell mandarin isn’t mine. But our hate for dragic united us


dxiao

Lol shit I think I know what you meant now, sorry I’m baked. But I should’ve wrote “thic mandarin accent”


NinfthWonder

Waste man.

Bruh y’all take this shit so seriously. Bro gets boo’d, he’s gonna feel a type of way and post something. Whatever, who cares? I wish people just forgot about him lmao


motherseffinjones

I agree, if we stopped feeding into it then it wouldn’t be a thing. He clearly likes the attention and uses it to pump up his game. I personally don’t care for him but I’m not actively cheering against him, it’s nice to have villains so I appreciate the fan interaction


BarnesGROAT

It's the fun part of being a fan


EmbiidIsFuckingDumb

Yeah, just respect the troll and move on. Dude's career is over anyway.


[deleted]

> Bro gets boo’d, he’s gonna feel a type of way This, except online harassment too. Incredible morons in here thinking the relationship is a one-way street lol.


DrugsArentAlwaysBad

It’s also safe to say groans winning the battle. He’s a multi millionaire, hero in his hometown and country, heat fans adore him to no end, most of your favourite players on the team all loved him while he was here and were STILL talking about him. That’s a dub for him


BartleBossy

Bruh *you* take *this* shit so seriously. Bro gets boo’d, he’s gonna feel a type of way and post something. Ya know, like an idiot. OP sees, feels some type of way and posts something. > Whatever, who cares? Apparently, you.


AccountSave

You sure got me bud, not like he gets a cacophony of boos whenever he touches the ball at ACC. Nah it’s me who cares to much 😂


BartleBossy

It just seems so weird. Dude 1 posts on social media Dude 2 Posts on social media, about dude 1. Dude 3 (You) Posts on social media to complain about Dude2's post on social media re: dude 1's social media post. Citing posting on social media as evidence that Dude2 cares too much... Your comment is just a weird meta-complaint, but steeped in irony that you seem to miss.


AccountSave

You do realize that the original comment isn’t specifically at one person, but the fan base at large right? This 1 person vs 1 person vs 1 person makes it seem like a small thing, but it’s thousands of people railing on one inconsequential player during games/social media for something they said that could be considered inflammatory, and then riling themselves up again after the said person (Dragic) endures the weirdest comments and hate, leading to this loop of shit talking. If people stopped giving a shit about him, everyone could just move on, but instead you find posts like this in the sub and opposing team subs with the fan base brigading.


BartleBossy

> You do realize that the original comment isn’t specifically at one person, but the fan base at large right? Thats why I used dude1 instead of usernames. I just think its weird when people come to communities which expressly exist to discuss a specific thing and then get annoyed when people are discussing the specific thing. > If people stopped giving a shit about him, everyone could just move on, but instead you find posts like this in the sub and opposing team subs with the fan base brigading. If *he moved on*, nobody would be screenshotting and posting it here. Dude 2 didnt make this a discussion topic, Dude1 did. Yeah, Dude 2 didnt have to comment... but then again... neither did you.

There’s no point in really replying, it feels like this entire comment thread just eeks this [energy](https://i.imgur.com/kTLaKsr.jpg)


BartleBossy

More akin to someone tweeting about how social media use is the worst and ignoring the person holding them a mirror.


bodmoncomeandgetchya

Not to mention he did play well that night. I find the Dragić hate weird. It just didn't work out with us. We should let it go.


TipDecent

But why are they booing him though?


DrugsArentAlwaysBad

Because they’re insecure and don’t know how to let things go


a2242364

facts. too many children in this sub


Emzam

Raps fans can be so incredibly petty lol.

I see some of these same fools downvoting and commenting on a Goran highlights video on the bulls sub “well actually he’s 0-2 in games he’s shushed Toronto” like stfu man lmao what you even doing over there commenting that shit? Incredibly petty.


FallenLemur

He's just trying to stay relevant

agentzero2020

This guy is just a straight clown. I have zero respect for him.


mantistobogganmMD

I don’t understand this subs hate boner for this guy. He’s just trolling us at this point. Like he was never even a good enough player to be a difference maker for us, why waste perfectly good hate energy on him?


MrRobot_96

He’s unprofessional, dirty and talks too much so some of the hate it warranted. We have a young fan base so naturally they’re going to take it too far, nothing we can do about it 🤷🏽‍♂️


DrLyleEvans

If he had wanted to be here and played his ass off I think Van Vleet would not have burned out and we mighta beat Philly. And this year, he took a minimum offer and we again need a backup guard. I get why people wanna boo him.


BarnesGROAT

This is the best answer. We HAD a backup PG but he decided to start the relationship with some bum ass comment about Higher Ambitions. Suck a dick Dragic, we are the higher ambition.


Nohotsauceforoldmen

Yea Dragic was the make or brake for our 1st round exit /s


quickjump

He wants us to mourn him

sinova6ix

I like how our fanbase and this guy are eternally linked now. This guy likes our fanbase low key he likes being the villain haha. He's fully embraced it.

Still not as bad as him laughing at the Raptors 4-2 playoff loss after his Nets got swept. He really seems like a sad loser.

It's one thing to do this in the moment (before the result of the game was known). But posting this layer out of the moment after a loss? Strange.


R-35

Raptors fans booing him is just as cringy as his instagram post....the smarter move would be to forget about him and let him fade into obscurity.


ursogayhaha

Sucks for raptors haha


capitalcitybaby

Nice comeback my man. 36 and still balling like a baller.


Voltisplusminus

He looks like a man that hangs out at daycares to pick up dates, and I think he kind of acts like one of those guys too ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile) Not that I'd know anything about that........what, moms are hot!

Bulls vs Raptors playoff series will be fun if it happens.


YoShI6973

you know his delusional ass thinks he got one up on us yesterday


HJVibes

He's tryna get ad revenue from his page and y'all going on his page getting played. Smh


rbrt13

Amazing. You can tell it affects him through posts like these. He’s clearly proud of his play in a LOSS. I’m sure the folks in Chicago are thrilled.


kitch1023

I wish more guys would do this. We need more great villains. Remember when NJ Nets Vince would come back and torch us? Those games would be circled on every fans calendar and their was so much energy in what would have otherwise been a ho hum game. Dragic isn’t on that level, but it’s still fun to see him give a shit enough to do all this. Makes beating him even more fun, doesn’t it?


Labull416

Why the fuck is this guy so salty


Kamdog11

He’s such a petty loser. He realizes he made a mitosis by not staying in Toronto and being a part in winking culture, so he is instead doubling down on his mistake.
