Pat Spencer hilariously admits to blacking out when yelling after made baskets originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
After what might be his best four-game stretch as an NBA pro, Warriors guard Pat Spencer is soaking it all in.
Or, at least, all that he can remember.
In an interview with 95.7 The Game’s “Steiny & Guru” show, Spencer revealed that he often does not recall what comes out of his mouth during his electric celebrations on the court.
“It’s messed up. I black out when I have those moments,” Spencer told hosts Matt Steinmetz and Daryle “Guru” Johnson. “Everyone’s repeating it back to me, but it’s almost as if I don’t remember it.”
Recently, there has been plenty for Spencer to celebrate. The 29-year-old two-way guard is averaging 16 points per game on 59.1-percent shooting over his last four contests, helping to stabilize the Warriors’ attack in Stephen Curry’s absence.
But it’s more than just statistics driving “Spen-sanity”. Spencer also is making a name for himself in the trash-talk game, punctuating his biggest shots and moments with a solid dose of swag—even if all of it doesn’t register.
“Look, I’m competitive,” Spencer told Steinmetz and Johnson. “I get in those moments…that’s what you live for as a competitor. So, I hope I’m not being judged by what I’m saying in those moments.”
The Warriors undoubtedly would accept any potential “judgement” in exchange for Spencer maintaining this level of play. With coach Steve Kerr’s rotation in flux, the former lacrosse standout has a chance to solidify his NBA future—and standing among basketball’s best trash-talkers—with continued solid play.
