FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS ๐
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.
When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.
For a catch:
A) Secure control of the ball โ
B) Two feet down in bounds โ
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.
C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:
If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.
Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.
Just saw #superman It was amazing!
It was everything I was looking for to get excited about a new potential universe. David shines as a Superman trying to truly to define what and who he is. Definitely seeing it again! #LookUp#SupermanMovie
In 2013, John Cena announced that he was leaving to have surgery and the crowd cheered. He's been holding in his frustrations for all of these years until now!
