If there’s one lesson that the world’s ancient philosophers have taught humanity, it’s this: The internet never forgets. Brooklyn Nets<\/a> center Nic Claxton<\/a> should know.<\/p>\n

The Nets got obliterated by the Knicks<\/a> by 54 points, 120-66, at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. The Knicks, who are amid a concerning slump, unleashed all their frustrations like a guy who just got dumped by his girlfriend for a clear simp.<\/p>\n

After the rout, an old comment<\/a> by Claxton suddenly resurfaced on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I\u2019ve never lost to the Knicks since I\u2019ve been in the league,\u201d said Claxton in a media conference in 2023.<\/p>\n

“Me I never lost to the Knicks since I been in the league”<\/p>\n

Since then, Claxton has been 0-13 against the Knicks, as the Nets have continued to spiral in recent years. In contrast, the Knicks have emerged as one of the top teams<\/a> in the Eastern Conference, including advancing to the conference finals last season.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn drafted the athletic beanpole as the 31st overall pick in 2019. After being stuck on the bench in his first two years, he has developed into being the Nets’ top center.<\/p>\n

Still, fans couldn’t help but clown Claxton for his old quote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure he had a lot of fun today,\u201d said<\/a> @2040Vibes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever ever gets old,\u201d added<\/a> @RugbyRoad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure admin must be kicking his feet in the air and giggling every time he gets to tweet this,\u201d wrote<\/a> @Tokhamiya.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake it 0-14 with that ridiculous haircut,\u201d posted<\/a> @lemmeknowwhatsup.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro’s been getting jail-soaped by the Knicks ever since this,\u201d commented<\/a> @RobCodBets.<\/p>\n

Claxton finished with four points, four rebounds, and two blocks on Wednesday. They fell to 12-30, including 2-8 in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n
