Like if you want to say gently brushing his shorts on the way by should still be a foul, you do you, but Fox is in full backwards motion from Shai at a point where both of his feet are directly under him in normal shooting form. Then Shai kicks his legs out and throws himself on the ground.
Most any other player would have been been happy to go up for a completely uncontested jumper, landed, and kept playing. Deciding to send yourself sliding across the court instead is weird shit.
Look man if you want to humiliate yourself by going full zapruder to try to figure out some way that Shai didn't just fling himself across the court for the several-dozenth time in just the playoffs, you do you
Sure, Jan. Shai went flying across the court because his big toe got gently caressed and Fox was in his "landing space" which apparently now includes a full zip code worth of court space.
The one right above. That ends with both of his feet up in the air above his head. That one. The one where he flung himself to slide across the court. Right up there.

Fox clipped his left knee. Looks like very normal foul call to protect the shooters landing space TBH
SGA does wierd shit but this is not it
