As if Nick Wright could "control himself" should he be subjected to the same off-balancing hold during playoff basketball… no chance of that though.
Replying, after reviewing Anthony Slater's tweet of the wide-set-blue-eyed, soft-voiced, clean-cut Domantas Sabonis on the Draymond Green foul: “There’s no room for that… I got pushed, you know… I'm just trying to protect myself."
DS was not pushed; he lost his balance and then attempted, after falling on the floor, to "protect himself" with a definitive wrestling hold on DG's R lower leg.
For evidence, refer to the still images captured from ESPN's video, "Draymond Green ejected for stomping on Domantas Sabonis".
(v that video's preview image of Draymond Green "stomping" Domantas Sabonis' chest, the latter's arms raised upward in the "Why?" gesture)
The narrative runs ahead of the evidence once again, with that "stomping" in the title and "stepping" in the usually unread subtext.
TIMESTAMPS below for ESPN's video, "Draymond Green ejected for stomping on Domantas Sabonis", not this video:
1st perspective 0:06 DG standing, both feet on ground, watching as Curry jumps for defensive rebound. 0:08 As DS falls on his back in front of DG, his L shoulder falls onto DG’s R foot. DG leans his upper body forward in reaction. DS wraps his L forearm around DG’s R ankle as he turns on his L side toward DG, moving the elbow of his R forearm against DG’s upper calf… and his L hand grasping his R wrist in a definitive wrestling hold. 0:08 EVIDENCE AS TO INTENT: DG turns his body to run back, lifting his R foot up. As he pivots to move in that direction, his L foot rises onto the balls of that foot. DG throws his arms in air to balance when DS does not release his hold. 0:08 DG bends his R knee to escape hold, his body and arms lowering to balance (L foot still up on balls of that foot) . 0:08 DS rolls R onto his back as DG drops his R foot to jump away from DS. 0:09 DG jumps, arms and legs above floor. 0:09 DG propels his body forward to land in front of DS as DS rolls back onto his L side.
2nd perspective 0:33 As KT attempts to jump for defensive rebound, DS wraps his R arm in front of KT’s R arm, his hand on KT’s chest. 0:33 KT bends his R elbow, placing his R hand on DS’ R shoulder. 0:34 DS pushes his hand against FT’s chest as KT pulls his R hand down. 0:36 As DS LOSES BALANCE AND FALLS ON HIS BACK in front of DG, his L shoulder falls onto DG’s R foot. DG leans his upper body forward in reaction. 0:37 DS wraps his L forearm around DG’s R ankle as he turns on his L side toward DG, moving the elbow of R forearm against DG’s upper calf… and his L hand grasping his R wrist in a definitive wrestling hold. 0:37 EVIDENCE AS TO INTENT: DG turns his body to run back. DG lifts his R foot up. As he pivots to move in that direction, his L foot rises onto the balls of that foot. DG throws his arms in the air to balance when DS does not release his hold. 0:38 As DG bends his R knee to lift his leg further, DS releases hold and rolls R onto his back as DG drops his R foot onto chest that would not have been there if DS had not rolled R onto his back (result of DS' body rising while not releasing hold). NOTE: DG’s R foot's potential landing location on floor, relative to arc, before DS rolled onto his back, and then again after DS rolled onto his back. Same location.
wtf is wrong with them laughing at one player stomping another one that is on the ground? This is not MMA (I don't think MMA allows stomping opponent on the ground even)
Broussard you d-u-m-b @ss, Sabonis was trying to protect his head because of what happened before and he try to wrap his arms to his head to protect himself but Draymond foot just happened to be there. Stop trying to say things like you think you know what happened.
Real Defense what do you know make someone fight for everything. I never understood why teams wait to play real Defense after the shot is in process lol.

Sabonis didnt try to grab Draymond s leg, he was protecting his face…
"Right foot, let's stomp. Left foot, let's stomp. Cha cha real smooth now." Wiles is killing me 🤣
I hate bandwagon trendy following media. Can’t form a individual thought
Broussard you d-u-m-b @ss, Sabonis was trying to protect his head because of what happened before and he try to wrap his arms to his head to protect himself but Draymond foot just happened to be there. Stop trying to say things like you think you know what happened.
