Victor Wembanyama knows the NBA will not give him a flagrant foul because the rules dictate he’d be suspended for a game if they did

So he’s consciously playing like a violent dirty punk because he’s the new golden boy

Fuck Wemby and the Spurs

Knicks in 5

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

@nytimes @TheAthletic Adam Silver and NBA corruption are the only villains here. Move along.

Imagine how much better ESPN would be if they hired 60 analysts for $1M a year instead

What a shame

[Michael Benevento @MikeBenevento]

The @NBA has exposed itself as a completely fraudulent organization. What a complete joke. A crooked, rigged league. They apply rules only when it suits their narrative. Everyone associated with the @NBAOfficial @ESPNNBA @NBATV @NBAOfficials should be ashamed and embarrassed.

All these media guys who are telling us not to worry about the officiating agree that Wemby's foul on Brunson was a flagrant. But the refs just missed it. Robinson was assessed a technical vs Wemby the league rescinded. Alvarado thrown by Wemby no call. The weird six men on the court, in which the ball was handed by a ref to the Knicks to inbound and then was stopped because Spurs had 6 men on court. The refs missed resetting the shot clock, no T or delay warning (even though its the 2nd time this series Spurs have tried this) Got delay warning in game 2. Wemby gets under Hart on a 3 no foul call or flagrant. Brunson closes out two steps short of shooter turns back on play gets a foul and flagrant. There are a bunc more and it's 3 games in a row folks.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't be assessed a Flagrant Foul, okay... It's, like, incredible."

- Wemby, probably

[Danny Abriano @DannyAbriano]

What do the NBA officials do tomorrow night if any Knick or Spur grabs an opponent by the head and throws him to the ground?

Common foul, right?

[Let’s Talk Knicks (LTK) @LetsTalkKnicks_]

I’m sure everyone already understands this but I just need to state it here.

I can’t get over the fact that THE HEAD OF THE REFEREES ASSOCIATION WENT ON LIVE NATIONAL TELEVISION AND SAID IT WAS A MISSED CALL

AND THEY STILL DIDN’T UPGRADE IT

I FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS

[Dolan J. Trump @Dolan_J_Trump]

Adam Silver has made it crystal clear that he doesn’t want the Knicks to win and is doing whatever it takes to make it happen. Nasty guy.

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

They say sports is a microcosm of life so I guess it's appropriate that the NBA lets it's friends break the rules knowing there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

If you're going to the Knicks - Spurs game tomorrow you have all day to practice chanting "piece of shit" in French.

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

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?

[J. Gray @JGrayJets]

🤣🤣🤣

The NBA is rigged and the entire world is now realizing it

[Paul Virzi @PaulVirzi]

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.

[nick wright @getnickwright]

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.

[Danny Abriano @DannyAbriano]

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

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

@TommyBeer They calculated the cost of ratings dip versus the cost of us being mad.

[Jonathan Macri @JCMacriNBA]

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.
