Draymond Green:
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if SGA is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”

In the last 3 weeks Wemby has:
- Intentionally elbowed Naz Reid in the neck
- Called for bench players to try to hurt Thunder players with hard fouls after losing
- Skipped mandatory postgame media
- Yanked Lu Dort’s hair (the exact play Spurs fans wanted IHart arrested for)
All with no additional punishment from the NBA, Wemby being donned as the face of “ethical basketball,” and the narrative from the series being the Thunder whistle and Shai falling in a series they’re shooting less FT with both sides playing physically.
We’re witnessing the biggest mass gaslighting event the sport has ever seen.
Lost in the clips of Carter Bryant absolutely tackling Shai twice last night is Carter Bryant dragging Chet to the ground by his junk… can the NBA do anything at this point? This is absurd.
