20 years ago today, Tim Thomas called Dirk Nowitzki a pussy & blew kisses to him in Game 5 of the WCF.
Dirk made 10 of his next 14 shots & finished the game with 50 PTS & 12 REB on 54/83/94 shooting in a win.
I realize this is the character flaw of every single person in the movie, but I genuinely believe if I was in charge, I could make a safe Jurassic Park
*THIS IS BRUTAL TO WATCH * Luke Kennard here is penalized for catching an elbow jab strike to the chest and for not simply moving out of SGA’s way.
But the best part is watching the ref not even raise his hand for the call until he realizes that SGA’s shot rolls off the rim.
BLATANT & INEXPLICABLE!
The scissor kick jumper followed by the immediate dive must be addressed. Every team has a player who does it. I see youth players now doing it. It’s so difficult to distinguish in real time. It’s a WWE move and it must be extinguished from the game.
