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
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 Robinson was assessed a technical vs Wemby the league rescinded.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
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
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.
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.
