Stu Holden spot on. Not one person would look at that play in real time in the context of the play and think it warrants a red.
You zoom all the way in and slow it all the way down and suddenly it looks malicious. Silly stuff.
In 2017, the Boston Celtics were lauded for having a loaded roster and “war chest” of assets:
*Jayson Tatum
*Jaylen Brown
*Kyrie Irving
*Al Horford
*Marcus Smart
*Terry Rozier
*Gordon Hayward
*2018 Laker Pick
*2019 Clipper Pick
*2019 Memphis Pick
Now, 10 years later, only Tatum remains. Kyrie, Hayward, and Rozier left in free-agency. None of those picks ever became anything.
Boston labeled many of these assets “untradeable”. They passed on numerous stars in trades that could have resulted in multiple championships.
To show for it, they have one (1) title, one of the worst contracts in the NBA, and a couple of future picks.
Well done! 👏👏👏
This is Ben Rice’s 21st HR
Vlad Jr, just hit his 4th HR yesterday and currently leads all AL first basemen in votes to start the All Star Game.
Let’s change that, Yankee fans. 🗳️
I was about to say, I wonder if LeBron, KD etc all the guys who chose not to come here see this & regret not taking on the challenge. But then I realized those guys dgaf & the group of underdogs & misfits that got it done are the only ones who deserve this
