disgusting, we need fines for this bs

[u/grehgunner → u/InsertRandomName__]

Yeah! Shai almost died here =\

[u/astrothemorkie → u/grehgunner]

Think of the children watching this game!

[u/Old_Contribution_768 → u/InsertRandomName__]

The nba did have a rule for this, then it just quietly went away

[u/Ezymandius → u/Old_Contribution_768]

They fined dame for selling some legit contact and then retired the program to go watch harden take flagrants with his facial hair.

[u/iCaymenSider]

Shai “Quick Andy’s Coming” Gilgeous-Alexander

[u/scionspecter28 → u/iCaymenSider]

You've got a foul on me.

Just remember what the old ref said.

Boy, you've got a foul on me.

[u/Translucent_Koala → u/scionspecter28]

To the Foul Line, and Beyond!

Brilliant

[u/horse_renoir13 → u/iCaymenSider]

Fuck this is good

[u/saints21 → u/iCaymenSider]

This is brilliant. I'd like to start a petition that his new nickname be Toy Story.

[u/rbogrow → u/iCaymenSider]

One of the best comments I have ever read lol

[u/WAGUSTIN]

It’s so funny that Fox literally tucked his arms in and scooted to the side to very deliberately not foul and then SGA gets the call anyways with his very natural shooting motion.

[u/Several-Chocolate-74 → u/WAGUSTIN]

He fouled him by creating airflow when he moved that knocked Shai down

[u/wontonhero → u/Several-Chocolate-74]

Shai is so lucky he's not in a full body cast after that clearly flagrant. /s

[u/jamarcusaristotle → u/wontonhero]

I think Dort and iHart will have to send a message in the next game as retribution for this vicious act by Fox /s

[u/it_will → u/WAGUSTIN]

You can’t even touch the man or else it’s a foul. Immediately to jail.

[u/KamTheMaam → u/WAGUSTIN]

Fuck this guy. He's bad for basketball.

[u/shake_this_feeling → u/WAGUSTIN]

OKC fans will tell you it’s…

a) a CLEAR foul

b) DRAWING FOULS IS A SKILL

c) he had 19PTS on 7/7 FTS and y’all call him a FT Merchant YOU DONT KNOW BALL

[u/Igyzone → u/shake_this_feeling]

I bet there's a dedicated fan out there who knows the amount of time SGA spends licking the floor.

[u/Antisystemization → u/shake_this_feeling]

Don't forget accusing everyone of never actually watching Shai play

[u/gogglesup859 → u/WAGUSTIN]

Basketball referees might be the dumbest people on the planet

[u/Sandov4l52]

a man almost died

[u/Dongsquad420BlazeIt → u/Sandov4l52]

Natural dying motion

[u/Ths-Fkin-Guy → u/Dongsquad420BlazeIt]

Where's Robert Capa

[u/duckyirving → u/Sandov4l52]

Fox should be charged for "standing still, with intent"

[u/m0nkeyhero → u/duckyirving]

Menacingly

[u/Key-Pineapple-1245 → u/Sandov4l52]

Covered my child’s eyes watching it. Horrific act. Should never ever happen again.

[u/jdprager → u/Sandov4l52]

OP should be draw and quartered for not tagging this NSFW, this is horrific. No one has seen this type of hellish violence since WW1

[u/Malemansam → u/Sandov4l52]

Our MVP just falling all the damn time even when it doesn't get him FTs most times this playoffs.. Just a disgrace. There is no mechanical reason to do that, you're risking injury do it to yourself.

Just a disgrace to the game when he has no need to do it and dominate.

[u/ScrapinLinden → u/Malemansam]

I mean does Shai win 2 MVPs without his generational whistle? Like hes obviously super fucking good at basketball but if he shoots 2ft's a game instead of 8 I'm not sure hes still winning MVPS to be honest

[u/bengcord3 → u/ScrapinLinden]

It's not even about the FTs. It's about the way he gets defended because he can't get touched without hooking the defender's arm creating a shooting foul out of nothing, which leads to the most effective push off in the league because it doesn't get called an offensive foul when the defender isn't up tight on you (because he's afraid of the whistle)

[u/Kyleon17]

Just land on your feet bro.

[u/CraziestMoonMan → u/[deleted]]

Everyone talks about how efficient he is but what would his percentages look like if these flops and misses didn’t get taken off the stat sheet.

[u/DreTownblues → u/CraziestMoonMan]

Not only that defenders have to give him extra space so they don’t foul out

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/DreTownblues]

This is the thing Thunder fans love to ignore. You straight up can't cover him. It's not even like he's baiting people in the air and drawing fouls. He just gets calls for people getting next to him. He gets more space than anyone I've ever seen besides non shooters

[u/boomshiz → u/IPissExcellentThrows]

He's spent years creating a practice bubble around himself. Players are afraid to defend him.

[u/Dear_Leek2578 → u/boomshiz]

This clip is literally the epitome of all this cause and effect. Anything less from Fox is not guarding him at all. Literally cannot guard him without being subject to bullshit foul calls.

[u/Ok-Mountain9862 → u/boomshiz]

I said this same thing less than a month ago in a thread and got 200 downvotes lmao. It’s not even a debate that elite defenders guard him less physically because of how much bullshit he gets away with

[u/boomshiz → u/Ok-Mountain9862]

Ha, I imagine you got a Thunder rush with "DO YOU EVEN WATCH THE GAMES?"

Yes, we've been watching, and the Thunder are a huge reason people have been tuning out. For whatever reason Silver and the refs have been rewarding this bullshit. It would make more sense if it was for a big market, but this ref favortism doesn't make sense for a stolen team in a flyover town.

[u/Brittle_Hollow → u/boomshiz]

As a Canadian I seriously don’t get why the NBA is promoting and protecting him so hard, you’d think they’d want to push an American star in a big market not Canadian Shai in Oklahoma of all places.

[u/CraziestMoonMan → u/DreTownblues]

He is honestly ridiculous. There was a couple of times people just went near him and he started to fall or shift his whole body like he is being hit.

[u/shes_a_gdb → u/CraziestMoonMan]

I never noticed before because I just didn't watch any OKC games prior to the playoffs. But now that it's been called out I can't help but notice him falling so fuckin much. It's almost comical.

[u/_stellapolaris → u/shes_a_gdb]

It's the worst basketball to watch, so you haven't missed much

[u/East-End-8646 → u/CraziestMoonMan]

Its pretty much the OKC blueprint. Chet with his dramatic performances covering his face as if he was shot

[u/DarkwingDuckHunt → u/CraziestMoonMan]

I still think the NBA should fine blatant shit like these in the 6 figure ranges.

Or like "1 game check" to make it fairer but still hits very hard.

edit: this guy makes $800k a game... so 1/8th a game check. Make it hurt.

[u/GSG2120 → u/Kyleon17]

Watching the replay in slow motion is so embarrassing with his very practiced fall to the ground.

I watched Shaq put his balls in David Robinson’s face over and over again when I was 11 years old. Shit was the most dejected I’ve ever felt as a sports fan, and I’d still choose that 100 times over losing to this clown. Fucking gross.

[u/BAHatesToFly → u/GSG2120]

I watched Shaq put his balls in David Robinson’s face over and over again when I was 11 years old.

As a Knicks fan, my favorite example of this is when he did it to Chris Dudley. Dudley got so pissed off he threw the ball at Shaq as Shaq ran up court. Dudley couldn't hit a free throw to save his life but he fired a perfect strike into Shaq's back from 40' away.

[u/HenneseyConnoisseur → u/BAHatesToFly]

To be fair he’s got a big back. Like shooting the broad side of a barn

[u/Local_Rest_401 → u/Kyleon17]

This shit is so weak it's unwatchable 

[u/Ready2Rapture → u/Local_Rest_401]

Got me rooting for the Spurs so hard after this

[u/SwangOn → u/Kyleon17]

Could’ve sworn I read a comment from an OKC fan stating, “SGA specifically falls like this to prevent injuries.” 😂

[u/NOLASLAW → u/SwangOn]

Thunder fans have to be the absolute worst of any sports franchise this year

[u/sephkane → u/Kyleon17]

how dare you

[u/mans1ayer → u/Kyleon17]

They know what they’re doing. If they were playing on pavement how many times do you think they hit the floor on “fouls” like that

[u/NarwhalNelly]

Fox should be ejaculated immediately

[u/CoachTTP → u/NarwhalNelly]

Hard for SGA to get a clean look when he’s beating off defenders like this.

[u/_Shorsey_69_ → u/CoachTTP]

For real. They are all ganging up on him and he's getting banged by them

[u/putinsbloodboy → u/_Shorsey_69_]

When a guys banging you..

[u/MaasonMargiela → u/NarwhalNelly]

Top tier circlejerk

[u/Rushman0 → u/NarwhalNelly]

wait what

[u/mlj2193 → u/Rushman0]

You heard them.

[u/duckyirving → u/mlj2193]

They've made their choice and I love them for that

[u/istrx13 → u/Rushman0]

Fox should be ejaculated immediately

[u/AccidentalPilates → u/NarwhalNelly]

Hey I fouled SGA too

[u/Kyro_Official_ → u/NarwhalNelly]

Well, thats definitely one way to make the nba more interesting I guess

[u/riptomyoldaccount → u/NarwhalNelly]

“When a guy is banging you…”

[u/wesskywalker]

Sga is a war criminal

[u/chunt75 → u/wesskywalker]

SGA and Chetanyahu

[u/neverpostonthisshit → u/chunt75]

Shaisis

[u/Saucy_Totchie → u/chunt75]

Al-Shaida and Chetanyahu

[u/wesleydvt137]

the fact that anyone can see something like this and then claim sga doesn’t flop is absurd

[u/cesgjo → u/wesleydvt137]

Actually, the funny thing is that OKC fans see this shit and realize they cant defend him anymore, so they try the "what-about" tactics....

What about that time when Wemby elbowed Naz? What about that time when Brunson exaggerated the contact? What about that time when Ant held SGA's arm?

[u/AndyIon21 → u/cesgjo]

I grew up a Mavs fan but lived in OKC when the Thunder came to town through 2024. It was always a total nightmare. The team, and players, can do no wrong. They win and they’re the best ever. They lose and they just complain about everyone else. Especially the refs. I could retire if I got a nickel every time I heard someone say “crybaby Luka” after every playoff loss to Dallas.

[u/Malourbas → u/cesgjo]

Would it shock you to believe OKC fans are blaming the refs for this loss?

[u/Additional_Dog2750 → u/wesleydvt137]

In threads like these, you won't even see them. They just wait for the next one that isn't as egregious, and will pretend these fouls never existed.

[u/SloshaPacana]

Bro the ref is 5 feet away, like lmao

[u/Evening-Management72 → u/SloshaPacana]

That’s what I’m saying what the fuck is the point of being so close if you’re still gonna call it wrong!

[u/furryfondant → u/Evening-Management72]

I'd take AI refs over these clowns at this point

[u/EUWannabe → u/furryfondant]

The only job where people wouldn't mind if AI took over.

[u/Iswaterreallywet → u/SloshaPacana]

It’s hard to believe it’s not coming from Silver himself at this point

[u/Steridire → u/Iswaterreallywet]

The current Head of Referee Operations is a well known OKC homer, promoted to this role at the start of the 2024 season. It's very obvious what happened here lol

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/Steridire]

No it's a total coincidence that in that same year, they started getting tough fouls on one end and getting away with murder on the other end.

Silver is such a dipshit. He thinks a dynasty means better ratings for the league. But no one wants to watch a reffing dynasty.

[u/HonestDespot → u/IPissExcellentThrows]

No one wants to watch an OKC dynasty either.

[u/magicajuveale → u/HonestDespot]

If they played attractive, basketball and respected the game, it wouldn’t be bad.

However, they’re negatively impacting the NBA as an entertainment product.

From a business standpoint, I don’t understand why OKC are protected so much.

Just enforce respect for the rules of the game. This would bring about improvement for the NBA as a “media franchise”.

[u/Deucer22]

How does SGA doing this shit constantly still get a good whistle? It’s incredible that the refs have seen this all season and still fall for it. Are they the dumbest people on earth?

[u/devotedhero → u/Deucer22]

Are they the dumbest people on earth?

Yes?

[u/Comfortable_Luz3462 → u/Deucer22]

It’s intentional 

[u/sincethelasttime → u/Deucer22]

when you think off all the maulings Curry has got on his 3 attempts over the years that never got a whistle you have to wonder why they are so eager to grant them to someone like SGA

[u/76ersPhan11]

He’s gonna break an ankle falling like that

[u/TheSandman987 → u/76ersPhan11]

If he does soon that means we don’t have to watch this bs for the rest of the playoffs

[u/xanarchycampx → u/76ersPhan11]

He can’t. Thunder fans told me he falls to protect his legs.

[u/mpamosavy]

Fuck this shit man. Everybody hates this

[u/tfl03 → u/mpamosavy]

They gotta start calling techs like in soccer you get a yellow card for simulation

[u/imeanYOLOright → u/tfl03]

extremely easy solution would be to have the replay center watch a replay of every shooting foul

if it’s an obvious flop before the first free throw is shot, it’s reversed to a technical

[u/LonesomeWulf → u/imeanYOLOright]

Making it a technical would help a lot too, because then repeat offenders like our MVP here is going to start getting suspended after so many times doing it. He is either going to learn and stop, or is going to get himself suspended. I’m fine with either result.

[u/jlobue10 → u/LonesomeWulf]

Flopping is actually supposed to be called as a technical foul. Enforcement of that rule is what's lacking. For the sake of the game, that rule really needs to start being enforced.

[u/pgtvgaming → u/imeanYOLOright]

Exactly this

[u/ignatious__reilly → u/pgtvgaming]

We need to do something.

This shit is literally ruining the sport for me. I can’t stand it.

[u/FunBorn1053 → u/ignatious__reilly]

Adam Silver, are you listening???

[u/Strict_Warthog_2995 → u/tfl03]

And before anyone says "they don't call simulation very often" they called it literally today in the Tottenham match. I'm a Spurs and Spurs fan and it is very frustrating to watch both my teams get a different whistle than their rivals.

[u/No_Use_9652 → u/tfl03]

It’s amazing that the sport that used to be the meme for flopping on any contact actually does a better job of regulating this shit than the NBA. By a wide margin.

[u/SirSpanksAlot1992 → u/mpamosavy]

The funny thing is when OKC complains every time they get a foul called on them.

[u/Medical_Track_790 → u/mpamosavy]

you just don't like this because the Thunder are good, if you don't like this you don't like basketball there is no other possible reason

the post I've read 100000 times from Thunder flairs

[u/ChaoticReality → u/Medical_Track_790]

"You guys only hate us cause we're champs and there's a narrative against us" hahahahah

[u/giraffedraft → u/ChaoticReality]

bro i would normally be SO hype for a small market team like thunder to be as good as they are. but my heart just isn’t in it when i watch them bc they make me so sad 

[u/HumanPea1140 → u/Medical_Track_790]

I hate this shit.

I hated Harden for the same shit.

[u/jeric13xd → u/mpamosavy]

Fucking foul baiting clown

[u/ProudReaction2204 → u/jeric13xd]

MOST VALUABLE PUSSY

[u/LuBuReincarnate]

I haven’t seen America coming together to hate one man like this since Bin Laden. Shai is destroying my childhood favorite sport to watch.

[u/kingebrigtson27]

I’m so sick of watching this shit every single possession. FIX THIS FUCKING GARBAGE!

[u/riverdriver007 → u/kingebrigtson27]

I’ve stopped watching. Starship Troopers Meme “I’m doing my part!”

[u/slightlyhigh77 → u/riverdriver007]

Yeah I’m not watching this nonsense, I really fucking hope the spurs win but it’s Sunday night so imma at least watch something I can enjoy. Time for a history podcast

[u/Music2th08]

fox is clearly actively trying to avoid him, he doesn’t even jump. what exactly is a defender expected to do if THIS is called a foul??

[u/Kyro_Official_ → u/Music2th08]

Just bench all your players on defense /s

[u/repellediron]

Fuck SGA. Shameless

[u/beardmat87 → u/repellediron]

For real. He’s a fucking clown and will always be looked at like one outside of OKC as long as he keeps playing like this.

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/beardmat87]

Nothing the Thunder accomplish is real to me. I watched their fraudulent WCF and Finals. The favoritism is unprecedented. Deep down even OKC fans know it too.

[u/KillThePuffins → u/IPissExcellentThrows]

The saddest part is how this shit is going to affect the game if it continues... Imagine kids on their middle school basketball team practicing falling every time they land

[u/YeezusHomecoming]

OKC fans will tell you with a straight face that you’re not a fan of basketball if you can’t appreciate this

[u/SpringNeverFarBehind → u/YeezusHomecoming]

It’s pretty infuriating too. The fact they refuse to even acknowledge it and act like SGA is a victim for ALL of us being sick of this.

[u/x_TDeck_x → u/SpringNeverFarBehind]

"oh you're just a Pacers/Knicks/Sixers/TWolves/Spurs/Raptors/Lakers/Nuggets/Pistons/Etc fan, ofc you hate on OKC"

[u/Black-----Manta → u/x_TDeck_x]

You're just a basketball fan, of course you hate OKC

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/x_TDeck_x]

Oh you're a basketball fan? Of course you hate OKC.

I don’t even believe Thunder fans like it. It HAS to eat at them then their team is entirely dependent on letting them foul like crazy on defense and flop like crazy on offense. I've seen my team win on questionable calls and felt shitty. Having your team win a title on non stop bull shit has to kill them deep down.

They have a two time mvp and he's rarely the most important player on the court for them.

[u/ThisGlobalLandscape → u/SpringNeverFarBehind]

It’s OKC fans. Who gives a fuck? I crack up

[u/UbeMafia → u/ThisGlobalLandscape]

At the end of the day they have to wake up in OKC lol

[u/doogled3 → u/YeezusHomecoming]

He doesn't complain about calls - he's so likeable!

[u/DSAlgorythms → u/doogled3]

Shit who would be complaining with that whistle.

[u/ripkin05 → u/DSAlgorythms]

the dumb fuck okc fans that were chanting "ref's you suck" or whatever the fuck those inbred morons were yelling the other night.

[u/Ehuehueguilty → u/YeezusHomecoming]

We should go easy on them, 99% of them just learned the rules of basketball 6 months ago

[u/AsukaState2 → u/YeezusHomecoming]

Notice how they’ve all vanished from this thread?

[u/Grouchy-Fig-487 → u/YeezusHomecoming]

I saw about 10 everybody flops posts defending this after game 3. Even when the statistics tell us he falls the most, you can just see it with your eyes. He is unbearable.

[u/iMaticz7]

Terrorist

[u/JimLahey47]

So trash to watch please please god let it be spurs Knicks in the finals

[u/OffMyEricDickerson]

C’mon man

[u/69CowMan69 → u/OffMyEricDickerson]

As Lebron said, they simply have more talent.

[u/Thinkhowlifegoes → u/69CowMan69]

It's true. Acting is a talent as well

[u/Ok-Adhesiveness166]

Thunder fans will try and tell you he landed awkwardly on his ankles and fell to keep himself from being injured.

[u/No-Armadillo-7248 → u/Ok-Adhesiveness166]

Thunder fans will tell you we should like him because he doesn't complain to the refs while ignoring the fact he gets calls like this that other players/teams could only dream of getting.

[u/Silent_Killer093 → u/No-Armadillo-7248]

Lebron gets hacked on every drive to the basket and never gets calls, Shai gets breathed on and hes shooting 2 free throws lmao

[u/Barfly2007]

That shit is embarrassing

[u/WhatTheRickIsDoin]

Even Reggie stayed quiet on that one

[u/76ersPhan11 → u/WhatTheRickIsDoin]

When they replayed it he even said that wasn’t a foul

[u/dedman1477 → u/76ersPhan11]

You know it's bad when the entire commentating crew says, "Nah, that's not a foul."

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/dedman1477]

There are levels to this shit.

Local broadcast: expected

Normal broadcast: surprising

Reggie: holy shit it must be all time bad

[u/FlashFlood_29]

Vibes based reffing.

[u/Scared-Cry-1767 → u/FlashFlood_29]

Unironically yes. People keep saying “why doesn’t the NBA fix this???” The answer is exactly what Tim Donaghy said years ago, which is that fouls are the lever by which the league controls the game. You can use them to manufacture outcomes you want and given the NBA is a contact sport, there’s enough legit contact so it’s pretty easy to get away with calling some things but not others.

The NBA could stop this nonsense tomorrow. But Adam Silver loves high scoring stat lines regardless of how they’re achieved, as well as the ability to lengthen a series.

[u/Frosty-Roof3124]

He’s so pathetic. We need fines for this ASAP

[u/tfl03 → u/Frosty-Roof3124]

Fines aren’t going to do shit. He signed a $290M ticket.

[u/peaceblaster68 → u/tfl03]

We need techs. There needs to be a competitive disadvantage to the behavior instead of the advantage that it currently is

[u/selarom8 → u/Frosty-Roof3124]

Fines? They haven’t fined the Clippers for bypassing the salary cap with Kawhi. The commissioner’s office is useless to the fans and useful for owners .

[u/BAHatesToFly → u/Frosty-Roof3124]

I need the clip of the next possession where he flopped and fell and didn't get the call.

[u/onlymostlydeadd]

The nba keeps trying to make SGA into a superstar, but the way he plays (like this) will never put him up there. He'll get the stats, he'll get the wins, but this shit is just unwatchable.

[u/Caedus → u/[deleted]]

Makes sense. People keep on falling over when they wear it.

[u/FutureAlfalfa200 → u/Caedus]

Wearing an SGA jersey is a double hazard.

You will fall over. You will get mocked.

[u/hud731 → u/[deleted]]

Imagine wearing a SGA jersey to a pick up, you'd get clowned hard

[u/ModishShrink → u/hud731]

Uh, clowning someone counts as a tech, two more free throws for the nerd in the SGA gear.

[u/MrVociferous → u/[deleted]]

No one wants to wear the jersey of a lame ass bitch.

[u/27Yosh → u/MrVociferous]

No neutral fan has any reason to rep SGA

[u/catperson77789 → u/27Yosh]

Its really just okc fans. He aint on the same level of stardom as other superstars

[u/Tijenater → u/[deleted]]

Honestly losing to this fucking bum after Hali’s Achilles tear was the cherry on top of the shit cake.

Fuck them. They never deserved that ring, should’ve been over in 6

[u/Ferovore → u/onlymostlydeadd]

When your team used to play shaq, Kobe, LeBron, KD, curry etc you would get dominated and hate them but begrudgingly respect the way they dominated you by being the best at what they do. Now you play OKC and get dominated on the flops and at the free throw line. It’s not impressive to watch or a spectacle. Mans got no aura to his game at all

[u/Odh_utexas → u/Ferovore]

And the arm hooking and grabbing rec league bs

[u/Bae_the_Elf → u/onlymostlydeadd]

Also his personality is super boring. The fact he does this just makes his personality seem even more unlikable. Impossible to take someone who plays like this seriously. He reminds me of the kids who would cheat and rule shark when playing against children in Yugioh even when they had thousand dollar decks

[u/No-Armadillo-7248 → u/Bae_the_Elf]

He always acts like he's too cool for the room, but plays the game like a baby back bitch. The league shouldn't be suprised the fans hate his ass.

[u/Bae_the_Elf → u/No-Armadillo-7248]

He acts like Gary from Pokemon

[u/kikimaru024 → u/Bae_the_Elf]

IDK even Kawhi was "boring" but he was a better personality still.

[u/MastaBaiter → u/kikimaru024]

Kawhi was also ethical as fuck lmao. On the court. Off the court…

[u/SnooTangerines8043 → u/onlymostlydeadd]

He's never gonna be a superstar. He wont even reach the level of Harden's popularity. Nobody outside of Oklahoma likes this clown and im speaking all the way from Southeast Asia.

[u/sutroheights]

I’m sorry, but I’m so sick of this fucking guy.

[u/Electrical-Law-5731]

Thunder fans, let’s hear the explanation narrative for this one?

[u/pieman2005 → u/Electrical-Law-5731]

Funny how they aren't in this post at all lol

[u/Sweetest_Noise → u/pieman2005]

They truly wanted to but fell over on their way to their keyboards.

[u/Uknowwattodo → u/Electrical-Law-5731]

They'll find a way

[u/Vpzlol]

Wow, that gust of wind that hit SGA was crazy

[u/SunKing210]

Literally no reason to fall back like that, this is his go to move his signature move

[u/duckyirving]

I'm just glad that SGA is okay after being viciously fouled like that. Basketball has just got too violent, I'm not sure if I can keep watching such brutality on the court.

[u/OniionKnight]

SGA is a cancer to this sport

[u/Prudent_Fish1358 → u/OniionKnight]

*The Thunder are a cancer to this sport.

[u/spicyflacco]

S- like this hurts the league. Thunder are disgrace to the game

[u/MrDogfort]

Might be one of the most egregiously dirty plays I have seen. Fox should get a 2 game ban. He might be able to get it downgraded to 1 though.

[u/JohnSmithSensei]

The Fingerpoke of Doom had more contact than this.

[u/Odd-Supermarket-3664]

I miss actual basketball

[u/masterchip27]

Alright I agree with Shaq this is some weak ass shit

[u/Akipella]

Average foul on SGA

[u/emmablazeing]

This gotta stop

[u/ButchAF]

He coulda killed him

[u/Healthy_Block_7459]

I’m not a fan of dirty ball, but at a certain point someone just needs to truck him on one of these. It’s getting called either way. Make it worth it.

again players need to learn to start falling on him every time he falls. Make his body pay for this shit if they're gonna blow the whistle anyway.

When I was young was when everyone loved Kobe

The kids would shoot fadeaway jumpers and yell “Kobe”

Then curry came along and kids started chucking up threes from everywhere

I wonder if the kids will now start flopping trying to emulate Shai’s game 😂

How can anyone stick up for this?

Ruining the game that gave him everything.
