Why do some players scream "ey" or "hey" when driving?

[jack612blue]

When they're going to the basket..


Players:

B roy
Wade
T-mac

[TMT]

Directed toward refs. Trying to draw fouls obviously.

[Clippersfan86]

Dwight Howard is the worst offender in the game right now followed by Wade. Both these guys yell AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYE!!!!! Nonstop when driving. Dwight can be heard doing it at least 15 times a game.

[AMISTILLILL]

Pierce does this a lot. Kobe has increased how much he does it in the last few years.

HEYbe.

[Rake2204]

I believe it is their way of paying tribute.

[bagelred]

Omri Casspi screams "Oy!"

[Smoke117]

Pierce does this a lot. Kobe has increased how much he does it in the last few years.

HEYbe.

Yeah, I was about to say, what about Kobe? Every time he drives (which isn't that much these days) he does it.

[Clippersfan86]

Yea Kobe doesn't scream AY! as much as others though... he instead yells and scowls at refs without any consequence.

[Mach_3]

When they're going to the basket..


Players:

B roy
Wade
T-mac
Kobe Bryant
Pau Gasol (His scream is so damn loud it makes me want to punch a baby everytime i hear him screaming)
Lebron James
Paul Pierce
James Harden
Russell Westbrook

Haha forgot Gasol! Dude moves to my number 2 spot after Dwight actually. You're a fool though for not listing D12.

[dbk123]

u should actually go out and play a game. when u get hacked its ur natural reaction

[AMISTILLILL]

Yeah, listen to the 18 year old basketball veteran, guys.

[RazorBaLade]

pau screams literally every time he drives

the defenders know. If he starts screaming it means he wont shoot and they just back off him and prepare for the drive

[Hoiids]

That's not as bad as when guys yell "AND ONE!!!111"
That annoys me more.

[inclinerator]

pau gasol screams on rbounds, putbacks,

[kumquat]

I can't remember who did it, might have been boozer, screamed annnnnd 1, ball goes in, he's screams at the crowd yehhhhh...ref calls a charge :roll:

[ZenMaster]

Guys on my team do this for fun.

They call it the "Kobe ey" and "Lebron And1".

[SAKOTXA]

Yea Kobe doesn't scream AY! as much as others though... he instead yells and scowls at refs without any consequence.
Without any consequence? He has gotten at least 30 techs in the past 3 seasons.

[Noof]

That's not as bad as when guys yell "AND ONE!!!111"
That annoys me more.
It's funny when they yell that and then don't get free throws or the basket. :lol



And Kobe does yell EY a lot. I wonder if he learned from Pau and his crazy screams.

[stephanieg]

Boozer is the king of this.

[Halcon]

Kobe also ads flailing his arms too. So annoying

[BlueandGold]

It's called emotion, lol does no one here even play basketball? I mean ever..

Just look at a tennis match, why do you think everyone screams "yaah!" everytime they hit with a 2-hand?

[StroShow4]

The verbal flop.

[TylerOO]

Lamar Odom when he played

[LoPro4u2c]

It's funny when they yell that and then don't get free throws or the basket. :lol



And Kobe does yell EY a lot. I wonder if he learned from Pau and his crazy screams.

Kobe has been doing that "Ey" since the 3 peat years. Watch that horry game winning shot against the Kings game 4. Kobe drives to the basket and what's the first thing you hear out of his mouth? EYYY!

Bynum's is more annoying. HAY! HEY HAYYYYYY!!!

[jn2rons]

Magic was the king and did that crap back in the 80's.
Used to drive the lane and say.. Argggghhhh...... Whissssstlllllllle
He had that down to a science.

Check him out at the :09 mark. No such luck in the '92 Olympics I guess. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvZ16X9U--s)

[bd#1pguard]

Omri Casspi screams "Oy!"

damn jew

Holy crap! I had to pick up two babies and punch them simultaneously while watching that :mad:

W...T...F
The 1st one scared the shit outta me... :(

[kumquat]

The verbal flop.

Haha exactly right. It's like flailing your hands in the air.

Kobe does it both ways....GFOAT

[dunksby]

It's a physical game ffs of course somebody is gonna scream from pain or grunt or shout or whatever, y'all act like the defenders are saints and don't do whatever they can to hurt the opponent so he loses his focus.

[Timmy D for MVP]

Tracy Mcgrady used to be my favorite. Just all the time I'd hear:

"OH SHIT!" as he came down the lane.

[trig]

Boozer should be #1

[Blue&Orange]

Omri Casspi screams "Oy!"
:oldlol:

[Quickening]

Kobe does it all the time.:lol :roll: :applause:

[Living Being]

So most people here go to actual games?

[Noof]

You can hear it on TV.

Bynum's is more annoying. HAY! HEY HAYYYYYY!!!

Yea, Bynum's is worse.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

How can you guys not mention Lamar Odom? It's not necessarily done for fouls but he's constantly yelling when he's playing.

[CarlosBoozer]

Boozer should be #1
:pimp:

[NYK_Stan]

Tracy Mcgrady used to be my favorite. Just all the time I'd hear:

"OH SHIT!" as he came down the lane.
Amare Stoudamire's a big "SHIT!"-bomber too.

...Makes watching games with my lil brother awkward af :lol

[C-Webb4]

That's not as bad as when guys yell "AND ONE!!!111"
That annoys me more.
Amar'e Stoudemire on every play?

[Derka]

Wade, Kobe and Pierce are easily the three worst offenders.

[Wally450]

Pierce does it while hes still out at the 3 point line :lol

[DixieNourmous]

Yea Kobe doesn't scream AY! as much as others though... he instead yells and scowls at refs without any consequence.


Whining and crying Clippers Fan.

Man up, bring something to ish worthwhile

[DetroitPiston]

Carlos Boozer is hilarious when it's heard live.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Was this a serious question I didn't read the first page.

[HardwoodLegend]

It could be to draw attention to fouls, but at times it could be a psychological tool for intimidation to create space. Like "AHHH get off me!". I used to do it all the time when playing.

Or it's just emotion from exerted effort as others have mentioned.

[Mavsfan31]

Boozer is always yelling, he never stops. Even if someone misses a FT he does it, or he'll always yell to Noah "Grab it Jo!"

When they're going to the basket..


Players:

B roy
Wade
T-mac
Don't forget to put Kobe on that list. He does it EVERY time he takes it to the rack. He probably does it the most in the NBA. As big of a Kobe fan I am, it has really annoyed me these past few seasons.

[ukplayer4]

kobe was always the worst for this, hes gotten better in recent years

[Halcon]

It's a physical game ffs of course somebody is gonna scream from pain or grunt or shout or whatever, y'all act like the defenders are saints and don't do whatever they can to hurt the opponent so he loses his focus.
These are definitely not screams of pain. They're screams of 'hey, I just got stripped clean, call something'

[Zackmorris]

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Give me a call AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[OldSchoolBBall]

Anyone who thinks that any player has done this more than Kobe is OUT OF THEIR MINDS. Dude has done it nearly every drive since 2006. Sad.

[ILLsmak]

I can't remember who did it, might have been boozer, screamed annnnnd 1, ball goes in, he's screams at the crowd yehhhhh...ref calls a charge :roll:

Boozer is obnoxious when it comes to that shit.

He's the first guy I think of when you say people screaming "hey."

-Smak

[Optimus Prime]

It's called verbal flopping.

Or in the case of Kobe he is just trying to get the attention of the refs who are too busy checking their iPhones for LeBron tweets to notice that Kobe is being mugged on the basketball court.:kobe:

[9512]

Screaming when driving like a kiai in karate. It "adds power"

[heavensdevil]

Cp and Kobe do it often, they say it to try and draw a foul, pretty much bringing attention to contact.

[Hittin_Shots]

Maybe it was the bias in me, but game 7 2010 gasol was the worst case of this I'd ever seen.

[dunksby]

These are definitely not screams of pain. They're screams of 'hey, I just got stripped clean, call something'
Not as simple as that, you are kidding yourself if you think nobody hits anyone on defense. There are many cases where players verbal flop but those cases pale compared to cases where there is real contact.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Odom is being underrated here. And Boozer with his "And 1" scream :oldlol:

[ILLsmak]

Not as simple as that, you are kidding yourself if you think nobody hits anyone on defense. There are many cases where players verbal flop but those cases pale compared to cases where there is real contact.

yea cuz if someone was beating your ass you'd be like HEY... AY... AUGH... AOW... ****in batman shit.
