The NBA has shown they're willing to put players in danger just to build their narrative and attempt to build a star. Where is the players union in all this?
Adam Silver and the NBA not calling that a flagrant is Kings/Lakers shit. When you find out about how the NBA/networks and advertisers make money it all makes sense. Greedy shitty people. What a disgrace.
If Brunson hadn’t kept his cool and had run up on Wemby, the refs would’ve snap called a tech on Jalen, reviewed the play & 100% have given Wemby a flagrant.
Instead, Brunson was a pro and Wemby gets to completely skate on it. Doesn’t seem right to me.
This is an embarrassment for the NBA
If what Victor Wembanyama did last night to Jalen Brunson wasn’t a flagrant foul, then flagrant fouls should cease to exist
This also gives Wembanyama license to keep doing this
Gutless move by the league after blowing it last night
What a fucking joke the league is.
They’ve always been about their bottom line and will continue to be so, even when the integrity of the sport is at stake.
Cowards.
No flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul of Spurs' Victor Wembanyama to Knicks' Jalen Brunson on Monday night, a league spokesperson tells ESPN. Wembanyama will stay at two flagrant points in postseason.
Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.
WATCH THIS CLIP ALL THE WAY THROUGH
MIND YOU, THIS IS THE SAME GUY THAT SAID “he actively searches out the feet of defenders when he shoots a three-pointer.”
HE LITERALLY SMILED AFTER THEY WENT TO REVIEW 😭
Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?
Sad part is the reason why Adam Silver and the NBA is going to get away with this officiating shit is because “if it’s not my team it’s not a problem.” As a collective you gotta call shit out
Also random blue check avis on here are at a time high.
Wembanyama avoided suspension for his flagrant foul on Naz Reid bc"he had no prior history of dirty plays.”
Mandate from League:Never call a Flagrant on him again bc we'll have to suspend him & we can't
Wembanyama avoids automatic $25K fine for skipped media bc "he's nice kid"
Legit question: why are they reviewing the Brunson one but not throwing Alvarado by his head or jumping into Hart’s landing zone? What makes one reviewable and the others not? Are there rules for this or are they just winging it?
