    he’s been trying to get this call for years lmao

  2. Foul baiting gettin outta control smh šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

    This would be a foul inside the 3pt line.

    I like that his argument is basically “I actually was going to shoot a 3 quarter court shot, with 22 seconds on the shot clock and 4 minutes before the quarter is over”. Just have him actually take that exact shot once and I might think there’s an argument for this obvious grift haha

    Tbh thats a textbook shooting foul if you go by the rule bookĀ

    Mike Malone trying to look upset saying itā€™s bullshit while trying to prevent that smirk from coming out

    I mean it’s absolutely a foul. Just another instance of the refs deciding when the rule book does or does not matter. If you don’t want to be called for a foul in that situation, don’t play such sloppy fkn defense.

  8. cheattowin77

    Wait why isnā€™t that a shooting foul though

    The funny part was they were already in the bonus so it being called a shooting foul would have made no difference. Seems like he was just trying to prove a point.

    Lol Joker is a savage. They were already in the penalty, he doesn’t actually need an extra free throw

  11. Exzibit21

    Imagine these comments if Harden did this though LMAO

    The DNVR podcast was talking about this last night that this feels like Jokic just playfully trolling the NBA. There’s no question that this is technically a foul, and there’s no question that guys get foul calls all the time doing the exact same thing close to the basket, and there’s nothing in the rules that says it matters where on the court the foul happens. He knows they’re not going to call it, and he knows that if they enforced the rules consistently, they would, so he’s going to keep doing it just to throw it in their faces and sometimes like this it’s really obvious.

    He’s so good at ‘the game’ between this and clock stalling. He’s always on.Ā

    Super weird everyone in this thread is cheering this on and even advocating that this should have been a foul. If any other major player does this like Steph, Bron, KD, Tatum, Giannis, etc does this and complains like this on a full court heave flop, they would be clowned. But for some reason, ya’ll can never say anything negative about jokic ever.

  15. NBA players anytime they get a hit by a gust of wind.

  16. If they called a foul, there is zero question that itā€™s a shooting foul. I hope they just didnā€™t call a foul because there wasnā€™t much there. But if it was a foul, it was absolutely in the act of shooting.

    That’s a clear shooting foul. Doesn’t matter if the ref thought he could legitimately make the shot or not. It’s a shooting foul.

  18. RanchhDressing

    He could probably make it so give him the foul

  19. so what happens if he actually makes a shot but the ref doesnt call it. would there be precedent then that it is an actual shot since he can make it from there?

  20. bogdano26

    So no more shooting fouls exist past half court? Or they only count at the buzzer? What’s the explanation
