Hot Take! Officials should be ejecting *more* players for complaining about calls, especially early on in the season.
That said, taunting should be 100% legal in the NBA. These are pros, man up and play better if you don't want a guy to dunk in your face and flex on you.
No more technicals for taunting, lots more technicals for players & coaches demonstrably bitching about the officiating. If you think it's a bad call, [challenge it...aight!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6jjmF2ySt0&t=3s&ab_channel=TrOllinM4sTEr)
Taunting is part of the entertainment. Im surprised the league wouldn’t allow it.
They can’t have something that might lead to fights. It’s not like hockey where everyone is padded up and the fans are separated from the action. Malice at the Palace showed the danger of a heated engagement escalating with potentially dangerous outcomes for fans, athletes, and staff.
I mean in football they don't let people taunt and the game revolves around hits. Pretty dumb that when Tyreek Hill runs to the endzone, him giving a peace sign will get him an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
