The NBA says there was one incorrect call in last night’s Game 1 on this play of Jalen Brunson against Devin Vassell.
The league says Vassell should’ve been called for a foul for stepping toward Brunson after he started his shooting motion.
@Ndnfkdn140508@sny_knicks Brunson will get in front of defenders and slow down to draw contact as he is shooting, or pump fake and try to get contact as he is shooting. In both scenarios, as in the clip that’s going around, he is trying to make a shot AND get the foul. Thats different from just flailing.
@ContentThief_@sny_knicks Lmao…ok. I’m done. Thanks for exposing yourself. You’re telling me you’ve watched the majority of 13 games over the course of 2 years (not even this year) and you are on this app confidently making statements about his game. That’s why this place is hilarious. Bye.
@SpursCulture Not really mad about anything. But I’d rather see my team score more points than the other team instead of talking about how the FEEL they are better.
@ContentThief_@sny_knicks But this is why my person response was just the yawn. This is a narrative that’s not rooted in truth. Going back and forth with people that repeat this narrative is pointless, because I don’t believe that anyone that actually watches full games can honestly arrive there.
@ContentThief_@sny_knicks I agree that stats don’t tell you everything. But he’s not even close to any of the people you mentioned. If you watch the games then you would know that foul baiting is not a big part of JB’s game AT ALL.
@ContentThief_@sny_knicks Everyone in the NBA tries to draw fouls at times. Brunson is not even close to the top of the list of foul grifters or flailers. So you trying to use one singular play to say otherwise tells me all I need to know.
@Ndnfkdn140508@sny_knicks Literally got fouled. Could’ve been called. Wasn’t. But it’s fine because he was still trying to make a shot, not just flailing and throwing himself to the ground.
Brunson is one of NBAs highest scorers if not the highest when you subtract free throws.
