    I can’t imagine not only getting dunked on, but getting hurt by it too

    Shams including the dunk in this report is kinda very disrespectful but I’m here for it

    Dude clearly got hit in the face while jumping straight up and instead of an offensive foul, Edwards gets a FT lmao

  4. PrimaryAccording9162

    Collins (generational postered) out for season

  5. TURKISHEATBUTT

    The offensive foul takes away from the dunk. Similar to TJD dunk on Wemby where he pulls his arm down. RIP Collins

    I think Edwards hits Collins head with his arm and then with his knee. Could have easily been an offensive foul, but also looked like Collins fouled Edwards too somewhat.

    Just sucks that Collins got injured

    It’s fucked up that everyone is going to make fun of him when he got punched in the face hard as fuck by Ant to the point that Ant hurt his hand..

    That’s good concussion don’t fuck around and it looked like the hit to the face rung his bell

    This is why players don’t defend anymore

    I’m sure Collins would’ve prefer no one knew he got a head contusion from that, man not going to hear the end of this for a year or two.

    Just because someone is in the restricted area doesn’t mean you can punch him in the face

    Shades of Wiggins inuring noel on a poster attempt nearly 6 years ago

    If this happened to me I’d have them drag me off the court before getting an injury report post poster.

    Shams doing major PR spin here.

    It’s not his hand, it’s his head. But it’s not a concussion.

  15. There’s actually no reason to play defense anymore lol. If you try you get injured and called for the foul.

  16. Ant was probably gonna poster him regardless, and almost every good poster features a good ol’ off arm. But idk, that particular off arm left them both injured, pretty interesting

    it was edwards’ knee. You can see it on the play. Mans jumped so high he kneed him on the forehead

  18. justsomebro10

    Lmao Shams why bro? What did John do to you?

    Acknowledging my flair out of the gate, but I want to ask a legit question to people who know ball better than me lol.

    I see a lot of comments about Collins jumping “straight up”. Does his right hip not swing forward into Edwards before they make contact? Because his body has a [banana-esque curve](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4reigqr5HH/?igsh=NmNjMDBtdGNzYWhq) when he jumps. It looks to me like he clearly leaps *into* Ant.

    I accept if I’m wrong! Just really trying to learn the rules.
