Giannis getting ejected is the softest ejection I've seen since Tim Duncan got ejected for laughing on the bench. (alien.top)

It's almost as if the Zebras just wanna ruin the fun. Imagine if this was the first time a kid was able to see Giannis in person? All that time, money, and effort to see your favorite player just for them to get the boot.

To eject Giannis over that, but a few days ago Draymond Green is allowed to run and yell at refs for 45 seconds and gets no tech for it is just a gross display of abusive power.

Taunting should not be allowed. It only escalates things and games can easily get out of hand and fights break out. Then people blame the refs for "Not controlling the situation". Also, whether adult fans like it or not, young players watch these games and are heavily influenced by what they see. If we allow taunting, we're going to see way more taunting in lower levels of play, which is unacceptable. It is objectively bad sportsmanship which cannot be allowed at lower levels.

Yes, taunting can be entertaining, but simply cannot be allowed for many reasons.
