99% chance Adam Silver, 1% chance it was President Biden

Imagine he slips or injures himself on a contest. You never know if Jason Kidd spills a drink or Kings fan pukes. All it takes is one poor timed contest

Adam Silver sent them Black SUV’s to Joe’s house

You can’t play any defense in this league anymore smh

Wow. Clear as day, the NBA is blatantly removing defense from the game. If I had a vote for DPOY, I’d write in Mazz

Asked to stop or told to stop, Joe?

KG famously always contested shots. He said he didn’t want his opponents to not get into a rhythm

NBA really got their priorities straight

They should let him do it but also let him know that the frontcourt guys on the other team are also able to set a mid-air moving screen on him and launch him.
I’m not really surprised by this at all though. Very unlikely, but if somehow it led to a player getting hurt, the absolute shitstorm would be beyond comprehension. They would probably have to shut this sub down.

It’s probably a safety issue, however that doesn’t account for the rule of cool so they should let him do it.

If opponents are allowed to shoot on dead balls then he should be allowed to defend.

What happened to the game I love?

I get it. You dont want that player to have had a confrontational reaction towards that. Coaches should not interact with opposing players unless its absolutely necessary and even then, I dunno what would constitute for it

“Asked,” so he still has the choice to contest shots they would just prefer he didn’t?

What about Kornet contesting them?

It was fun but I get it. A coach shouldn’t interfere with anything an opposing teams player does, that’s just inviting some incident to happen eventually. Whole slippery slope thing.

Hmm… my guess is the league doesn’t want to establish a precedent of coaches physically interacting with players
