Bryn Forbes, NBA Champion

[Seventyniner]

It was destiny, right? Just wait until we see him posing with the trophy.

[DAF86]

On his right place as a non-rotation player.

[spurs10]

Bryn the champ!

[ace3g]

Pop: "That's why he was my starting SG !!!! "

[Robz4000]

:lol players have been thriving after leaving the Spurs lately

[LaMarcus Bryant]

BRYN CHAMPION FORBES BABY

[RC_Drunkford]

He ringed, while collecting DNPs. That's how he should be used. Not as a starting SG :lol

[lefty]

:lol Pop

[Uriel]

Coach Bud is a champion too. I was really hoping he could go back to the Spurs, but it looks like his job is secure now.

[SpurPadre]

Forbes has reached his ceiling as a Human Victory Cigar.

[SpurPadre]

Coach Bud is a champion too. I was really hoping he could go back to the Spurs, but it looks like his job is secure now.

I’m still hoping Manu or TP will consider coaching the team.

[SPURt]

Good for him, I’m happy for Bud too. It was a good series and Giannis gave one of the greatest finals close out games I’ve watched

[RC_Drunkford]

you know Flopovich will be the first person to call and congratulate Bryn Forbes on his terrific NBA finals performance

[itzsoweezee]

They got better as soon as they benched his ass. Pop unfortunately could never figure that out

[John B]

Bryn Forbes 1 > CP3 0 :lmao

[Russ]

Congratulations, Bryn.

Don't let the haters (who have nothing) define you.

Sometimes the best are those who stand and wait.

[Spurs Homer]

Pop would have played forbes over kanaughton and others

and phoenix would have been within 3 mins of clinching the title

and pop would then panic and sub forbes out too late as the suns rang

[Spurtacular]

If not for Pat Connaughton, Forbes 120 defensive rating would be the worst of any Bucks player with 20 minutes or more in the series.

[Spurtacular]

The only Finals video I'm finding for Forbes, btw.

Class guy who’s done nothing but bust his ass and be a good guy. Congrats to him.

Conaughton was terrible today

[KobesAchilles]

Does this mean DeRozan is ringing next year?

[99 Problems]

From D.Green & kAwhi to Coach bUD & B.Forbes. Spurs continue expanding its empire winning chips. Well done FORBES. :lobt2:

[Proxy]

[daslicer]

you know Flopovich will be the first person to call and congratulate Bryn Forbes on his terrific NBA finals performance

:lol I could actually picture that happening.

On his right place as a non-rotation player.

He will always be able to tell his grandkids he was a double digit scorer (exactly 10 PPG) for an NBA champion. Will leave out being dropped from rotation after losing first two finals games.

Any coincidence Bucks won all four games once he was dropped?

[baseline bum]

:lol players have been thriving after leaving the Spurs lately

He lost his spot in the rotation to the corpse of Jeff Teague's career

[baseline bum]

Does this mean DeRozan is ringing next year?

Wouldn't mind seeing that since it would mean he's gone from here

[jjspur]

Sometimes basketball isn't always about talent, sometimes its about making the right decision. Forbes made the decision to take a bit less money and join the bucks. He probably would have been an end of the bench player no matter where where he went, but he chose the bucks, and it paid off. His name will forever be on the list of all NBA champions while Chris Paul, CP3 with the 40 million dollar per year salary will not. He may not even be on the suns next year !
Talent may get you a large salary, (not always earned) but it doesn't always buy a championship. Today, Forbes is a champion (congrats), while CP3 on vacation with all his millions can only say wait till next year.

[LeBowen]

Forbes made the decision to take a bit less money and join the bucks.

:lmao:lmao
As if anyone was offering him shit, pity signing because Pop made the call.

THE ORB

[Leetonidas]

Brent Forms barely played in the Finals, Bud utilized him correctly by leaving him on the bench :lol

[r0drig0lac]

IDGAF

[Dex]

Forbes is what he is and Pop failed to acknowledge it.

Bud played him like he is meant to be used...a shooter off the bench meant to be used only for spot minutes. He should never be on the floor during crunch time due to his defense, and rightfully got buried on the bench after the Bucks lost the first two games.

Good for Forbes, he played a role and got a ring. Still glad he isn't stinking it up for us anymore.

[rjv]

not sure the bucks bring him back though. but congrats to forbes.

[Spurs Homer]

Conaughton was terrible today

but he was a huge part of why the bucks backdoor swept the suns

[PrimeMinister]

Pat missed some shots but dude constantly seemed to be in the right place, I remember a couple of instances he got his hand on offensive rebounds down the stretch or made a nice rotation defensively.

PJ didn’t have to miss shots because he just didn’t take them. In a finals elimination game you really aren’t banking on role players hitting those shots unless you have a legend like Horry or that bald fuck in Miami.

Basketball is a really intricate game, and so much happens off the actual ball that people don’t pay attention to. There is so much of this game that can’t be quantified with commonly used stats today. And as a result, there’s a lot of really good plays and moments from players that will go forever unrealized by most fans.

[John B]

Goodluck to Bryn. He’s a success story, undrafted, played hard playing his role which is a shooter. Not everyone’s built as a franchise player. And now he’s a Champ! He deserves it.

[Mugen]

Pop probably still wondering why Bud didn't have Forbes guarding Booker the entire series :lol

[Dirks_Finale]

Coach Bud is a champion too. I was really hoping he could go back to the Spurs, but it looks like his job is secure now.

He's taking over when Pop retires - in 2045.

[SAGirl]

Well, Coach Budenholzer was smart not to play him when things got tight in the playoffs.

[SAGirl]

Forbes is what he is and Pop failed to acknowledge it.

Bud played him like he is meant to be used...a shooter off the bench meant to be used only for spot minutes. He should never be on the floor during crunch time due to his defense, and rightfully got buried on the bench after the Bucks lost the first two games.

Good for Forbes, he played a role and got a ring. Still glad he isn't stinking it up for us anymore.

This. As a regular season filler he's fine, specially if not overused. Coach needs to be aware of his deficiencies and limit the minutes when games are tight.

Stated as I would have said it...only better.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I’m super happy for coach Bud, Giannis, Middleton, and the Bucks


not gonna lie and say I’m not said for coach Monty Williams though. But I liked the Bucks team as a whole better.

Worse yet, Gregg would play Forbes when Spurs were up good margins in the closing minutes and a few stops were all that was needed to finish teams off.

[Dverde]

Maybe Pop brings him back to get some championship experience in the starting lineup :lol

[KingKev]

Don’t joke about that. Cue the 50 Mills contract.

[Biggems]

best former San Antonio DNP player to ring since Fennis Dembo. Of course, Forbes was the Spurs, while Dembo was the city.

[spurs10]

NBA Champion Bryn Forbes. :lobt2:


Thanks to Coach Pop! He worked his ass off and he's getting his rewards. Happy for him and his family!

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Happy for Forbes and the Bucks.

He got a ton on DNP’s during the playoffs but he had a huge game against Brooklyn (if I remember correctly) when they needed some fire power.

[jjspur]

Stated as I would have said it...only better.
Pop overused and abused Forbes, so all his limitations were exposed for the whole NBA to see. Coach Bud saw this and used Forbes only in certain situations if at all. Smart man. It also helps if you have a generational super star on your team.
Still, Forbes and Coach Bud got their chip. Congrats to them.
Pop,I know you're one of the greatest coaches ever, but take a lesson from Coach Bud, learn what limitations your players have, don't overuse them before they really stink up the joint, leave and get a championship ring somewhere else.

[Spurtacular]

Pop,I know you're one of the greatest coaches ever

You don't know that.

[rjv]

forbes turned down his player option so, to all the forbes lovers-now's your chance.
