“You scamming?” – Kelly Oubre Jr accused a fan of scamming in courtside during loss to Bucks.
But although the Bucks got the win, Kelly Oubre Jr. was able to play a large role for the Sixers after recording 27 points, and four rebounds. The Sixers are going to need that type of production from Oubre especially with everything going on with James Harden.
Philadelphia will face off against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday in what should be a fun matchup. Perhaps they can get back in the win column with a big performance.
As of right now, it is unclear how Oubre Jr. and the fan got into the situation depicted in the video. Still, the banter seems harmless, and it is definitely a hilarious situation since Oubre Jr. was willing to talk trash while still guarding Bucks superstar Damian Lillard.
Last season with the Charlotte Hornets, Oubre Jr. averaged 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. He was definitely a steal for the 76ers on the veteran minimum, and hopefully, we see Oubre have a good season with the team.
It is good to see that Oubre Jr. can provide scoring for the 76ers, as the team is still dealing with James Harden’s trade request as of right now. The star did not play against the Bucks, and it is unclear whether he will in the future. In fact, the 76ers have asked Harden to stay home for the team’s upcoming road trip.
“James Harden returned to Philadelphia on Tuesday night with his bags packed to join the team on the road for Thursday vs. Bucks and Saturday vs. Raptors, but the 76ers have now asked him not to travel with the team.”
During the contest, there was a moment where the Bucks were in-bounding the ball and Oubre had a chance to talk smack with some fans. It seemed to be friendly, although, it’s not exactly clear what the fans said for Oubre to begin bantering with them.
Even so, the Sixers forward hit them with a hilarious line, asking, “What you doing? You scamming? How did you get those seats?” Here’s the full statement Kelly Oubre Jr. made in the middle of the game.
Does it even matter what the fan(s) said? That’s just a great clap back from Oubre. What makes it even better was that the Bucks and Sixers were beginning the in-bound play while he was talking.
