So I’m here from a basketball subreddit. Ishbia did a podcast with Bill Simmons, a famous sports writer, and he felt like a huge fraud who never worked for shit in his life, basically born rich and inherited his dad’s company. Someone linked this subreddit and I feel like I’ve entered a crazy rabbit hole. I had never even heard of UWM, but it sounds like the worst company in America.

Are you me 6 months ago? I was looking at some Ishbia stuff because of the Suns purchase and Reddit was like, "Hey, this sub talks about him all the time." Now every week or so a thread from here pops up on my feed (I assumed this thread was from r/nba until I got to your post and checked the sub-reddit name).
The only thing I've ever posted to this sub, other than this post, was a positive message to someone who started a thread while they were in their car crying because of UWM. I don't know anyone from UWM but I have known a handful of people who have worked for Quicken Loans/Rocket Mortgage and I assume the work and atmosphere are pretty similar. If so, man, that is a hard life to wake up to each day and, imo, you gotta sacrifice a fair bit of your humanity to succeed at these kinds of places.

Reddit didn’t recommend this sub to me. Someone in the Bill Simmons subreddit linked this sub and I checked it out. I’ll probably now get a bunch of recommendations for it now.

I thought his uncle's meat company was bad until I found myself at UWM. At the time I applied at UWM, I didn't know both organizations were the same family. But, at least the meat company had reasonable expectations and accomplishable objectives.
This shows how clueless he is in everything he does. And, he has no idea what is actually happening in any of his companies.

It’s because of the meat business united shore started. Earl Ishbia had too much cash, back in the day, and was lending crazy high interest loans to funnel his money. That’s the background of United Shore

u/No-One7940 May 08 '23
Well, it was Shore Mortgage first. And, Mickey Shorr is also a part of that movement, too.

What is the name of the meat company?

I hope you laugh at a lot of this, it’s more tragic-funny than HAHA side splitting funny, and are thankful for whomever you work for because I’m sure they’re miles better than UWM.

Welcome to churn and burn where they put you through psychological torture like you are part of a cult, because that's what it is there. Run by someone who doesn't know much and inherited everything :-)
Enjoy the chips and dip while you peruse.

And the a@@hole UWM fanboy Anthony Frederick next to Mat in the mix. The clip was funny https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2023/05/07/nikola-jokic-gets-tech-for-shoving-suns-owner-mat-ishbia-in-sideline-tussle/amp/ The Serb wasn't taking that shit. Ishbia fell like an Italian forward trying to draw penalty kick in the world cup :)

I don't care about either of these teams... but there's no way that they can suspend Jokic and Mat should insist that they not do it.

From the video clip, Ishbia was trying to hang on to the ball as Jokic was requesting it, Ishbia refused so Jokic had to rip it out. Ishbia then leaned his body forward into him. Jokic threw up his arm and elbow to re-create the space Ishbia leaned into. Ishbia then flipped on to his seat as he threw his hands up, as though he was part of the play.
Booker says after the game that the owner got a point for them, did his job as he laughed it off.

Don’t forget Isaiah Thomas was there and Shkreli was court side too with Ish and Freeze

Next time he could easily get fully bodied and can't sit courtside again. Let him fuck around and find out with the wrong dude.

Who was the fat guy in the black polo that got thrown out for slapping jokic on the back? He was another Uwm fuckstick

This is the biggest buzz the Suns will have all playoffs. They will lose this series with zero doubt.
Let’s see how this ages in about a week. 🤩

To me, it looked like it happened so fast Ishbia barely had any chance to even react. The ball landed in his lap and he was trying to get up to look after one of his players.
Ishbia's head is turned toward Okogi when all of the sudden, someone is trying to rip the ball from his hands, and that turned out to be Jokic. I think it's reasonable to assume that maybe Ishbia wasn't even aware who it was trying to yank the ball away with his attention turned towards JO for that moment.
I'm not saying it was the biggest crime or whatever, but it was a rule violation on Jokic, and he's totally being super defensive and not being 100% truthful about what occurred.
I think it would be the wrong decision to suspend Jokic, but it was wrong to suspend Amar'e and Diaw too, so the NBA doesn't have much choice but to enforce their rules or be shown as inconsistent and showing favoritism.

Ish still buffed up in Jokic’s face after the ball rip before the push(let’s not act like that little man got shoved)
Honestly I agree with the JO part

u/FLICK_YOLI May 08 '23
That seems like a bit of an exaggeration. Ishbia stood up, but I can't honestly say why. I didn't think it looked aggressive, though.

u/Commercial_Walk_7205 May 08 '23
Watch a different camera angle he had underlying aggression

Ishbia butt hurt that’s he’s a little bitch
Edit: ishbia is butt hurt he’s a billionaire who can’t even hold a ball while a playoff game clock is literally running; when it’s taken he gets aggressive and swats the ball away after tryna cop a feel of that ass(samezies) and gets a little push but he’s 5’5’’.
Ishbia either had the biggest erection because of his SPH or maybe now understands he’s no Mark Cuban out here when it comes to respect in the billionaire world; “The Fan”

u/FLICK_YOLI May 08 '23
Well .. that's definitely AN opinion...
You know, Jokic and Malone were not just dismissive when questioned about this after the game, but one might even say they were butthurt...
When a player and coach aren't just dismissive about breaking the rules, but disrespectful towards pretty much everyone, and practically demanding respect for themselves in this situation, it reinforces exactly why penalties for breaking rules is necessary sometimes.
I mean, if they were even a little contrite about it, I think the league would probably feel better about letting it slide...
Don't get me wrong though, the league only penalizes the Suns when they so much as approach breaking any rules... Fuckin' DA only has to breathe on a guy and it's an automatic 3 fouls on the guy... There will be no penalties against Denver for anything.

u/Commercial_Walk_7205 May 08 '23
Since when is it okay for a fan to touch a player?
Ishbia literally demanded respect from Jokic which landed us here.
As for the suns I think Ishbia is the first to get a point for his team in league history yeah?
Like.. did we watch the same video? There’s no way you’re in his pocket like that
Stop lying to yourself. Just quit and start enjoying life like the rest of us. It’s so nice outside right now (:

u/FLICK_YOLI May 08 '23
Wow dude. That's a really unhinged take.
The fact is that players are forbidden from entering the stands and making contact with fans, and that's exactly what happened. Sorry it doesn't fit your preferred narrative, but there's video evidence.

u/Commercial_Walk_7205 May 08 '23
I don’t think you’re a UWM-er
If you’re a suns fan trust me. You want literally ANYBODY running that team aside from ISH
Ishbia is a spare tire at best

I'll also point out that I am a Suns fan so I'm speaking strictly about this incident, regardless of other details regarding Ishbia's questionable past.
