Amen was hanging on the rim less than two seconds and it was mainly to swing back so he could have a safe landing.

[–] hazeleyedwolff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That ref has never dunked.

[–] BearsFan3417@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He got dunked on during mini hoop games, too

[–] halfsober@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Refs tryna cover that spread 😂

[–] Chaps_and_salsa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s so effortlessly athletic

[–] nikop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't seen one of these called in a while. ridiculous rule in the first place and especially when it's not called 99% of the time

[–] wavetoyou@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What a gutsy call by the official! We cookin tonight, go refs!

[–] LilSwampGod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wack call. He let go when his momentum slowed.

[–] Gaetan123456@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What an absolute joke

[–] teddyjj399@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get this thug out of the league there’s children watching these games

[–] LogDogan4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably the pull up, not hanging too long.

[–] TheHalfbadger@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it’s always the pull-up. Nothing to get up in arms about here, that’s a textbook call.

[–] miiblord@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did the refs have a meeting about this? There were 3 of these called during the Pacers/Cavs game.

[–] noochies99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Must be a point of emphasis, I remember a few game delays for uneven time last year but this was ridiculous

[–] MagicalHurdles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There were a few of these techs at the Pacers/Cavs game. What is wrong with NBA ref priorities

[–] bkn88kb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

🤨 that’s a trash ass call.. he barely was on it smh

[–] sreynolds1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s literally nothing

[–] calmdownmyguy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] PainSubstantial710@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

let em play

[–] yellowwithstripes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why is it a rule in the first place? Real question

[–] TheHalfbadger@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s not about hanging, it’s about the pull-up. And I believe it was basically to get Shaq to stop breaking baskets.

[–] plasterboi99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why does the NBA try to make the game more boring 😴

[–] skrimpskampi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wack as fuck. Fix the league. I can’t even say what I wanna say without being banned. Let them dunk and let them have fun and express themselves. As long as it’s not the ufc the refs should shut the fuck up.

Hell, I heard iggy talking about seeing a refs picture in the arena that tells you about them and their favorite food! Nobody gives a shit about them!

[–] messibusiness@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh so it’s a technical to be good at basketball now, good to know.

Beautiful move. I think this guy will be the second best player from this draft and an absolute superstar, behind the alien

[–] bjtrdff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s lame even in the regular season.

[–] Atl-Fan_FTS@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I see worse than this every single time I watch a game, that’s a lame call

[–] the-pak-man@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wow that’s some bullshit. Does this mean he has to pay a fine as well?

[–] Purganis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Do the refs have anything against him?

He didnt do anything wrong...

[–] MechaShoujo02@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There should be a channel or twitter account compiling all the worst ref calls over the course of a season and it be sent directly to Adam Silver.

[–] BenShelZonah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve seen lebron hang for an hour and almost hit people with his legs swinging with aggression. It was hype tho

[–] maremmacharly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is clearly correct though. Not like he just used to stop his momentum, man started doing chinups on the rim.

[–] Big_East_Cat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t think hanging was the issue…isn’t the rule you’re not allowed to pull up?

[–] pm_me_cheesy_bread@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] usedtosmokepot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Clearly a tech. If you’re worried about landing on people and snapping your bones and ligaments, make them stronger. Don’t be lazy. /s
