This "legal guarding position" nonsense needs to end
This was an offensive foul (or a no call) for the first 70 years of the NBA
An offensive player can now plow into a defender's stomach simply because he's not standing 100% perfectly still?
Early 2010s NBA was peak. Had the unique style of the old way to hoop with basic integration of how the game is played now based on analytics. Was an absolute treat to watch every day. Plus these stars had crazy charisma
This dude was drafted to one of the worst teams in NBA history. Lost an NBA record 28 straight games. Been through the trenches to bring basketball back to Detroit. Never complained. Never blamed his teammates. Never asked for a trade. Just put his head down and worked.
Nobody deserves this success more. An absolute DAWG.
