That was clearly just a slip of his elbow.

It blows my mind how the NBA allows Giannis to play fullback, but a guy like Greg Monroe isn't viable in the NBA because contact on non-drive post moves is not called.
Honestly fuck yesterdays game. Bucks were supposed to win that game. Somehow the sixers were up 8. Refs gave giannis some bullshit calls. I can’t get over his fucking airball he caught right in front of the ref. Sixers stopped playing cause it was so obvious and dude scores an easy bucket. Can’t be handing them wins like that. Dudes supposed to be one of the best in the nba
He literally took a step into Giannis after Giannis was in motion in the area first
He’s blocking the path to the basket, his feet are moving, stepped into contact with an actively shooting player. It’s an EASY foul call.
Yeah I genuinely don’t understand why people think this is an offensive foul. People in the comments are even saying Giannis elbowed PJ in the face. What are they watching?
This is every single thread where there's a foul and Giannis has the ball. Literally all of them, people get themselves super riled up and don't understand how the game is officiating and it doesn't help that when you got a whole pile of comments with hundreds of upvotes completely inventing something ('Giannis elbowed PJ') people are just gonna believe it and then get more mad about it.
I would pay extra to get live audio from the court. Love to hear all the shit that gets said down in the paint.
While Giannis does get those calls, Tucker is one of those dudes that has never commited a foul in his life. Looks incredulous on every single call, I would tune him out if I were a ref.
Are the any NBA players that are known for admitting they committed fouls?
I mean PJ hit Giannis shooting arm. He hit it with his face but he still hit it.
Definitely a bad call that Giannis consistently gets
he’s right tho giannis is super predictable and does that spin into a foul 10 times a game lmfao.
bro is carried by his size.
He’s right. This is a common bs nba foul call.
Wtf is this stupid ass title
That isn’t foul baiting what? Its a bad call, should have been a no call and honestly was closer to an offensive foul then a defensive foul but nothing thag Giannis did was baiting a foul.
Same shit, different season. Each day this crap happens I become less of a fan.
Seriously, Giannis is just a powerhouse James Harden free throw merch.
Antetokounmpo is probably the most boring basketball players that’s ever existed
It's hilarious that he called a white referee the n-word.
Hilarious but this was quite honestly a defensive foul. PJ was moving when the contact happened.
wait, they called that foul FOR GIANNIS??
man, NBA refs are on another level. I trust WWE refs more than I trust NBA ones jfc
Going hard to the rim is not "foul baiting" by any stretch. What harden and Embiid do (intentionally ripping bad shots through opponents arms) is.
Lowkey, it looked like he stepped into that. Not saying Giannis is in the clear but I don’t think Tucker was in the clear either.
PJ still knows all of Giannis’ moves.
Smhhhhh. He aint even spinning around pj but spinning into him. Nba has gotten ridiculous over the years.
Can’t even watch this sport anymore. Inconsistency and favourability has made the NBA a joke.
I’ve seen Giannis hit so many offensive fouls:faces and get fts . People can complain about foul baiting but Giannis ‘whistle ‘ is the worst in the league . Maybe I’m blind but when I watch Zion or Lebron power through contact I never feel like they’re just committing offensive fouls Or get fts for it. Jesus man i when thinking basketball Ben Taylor n Cody( a bucks fan ) calls this shit as gross or just kinda laughs at him getting fts in one of Ben’s video for hitting guys in face vs celtivs series you know it’s bad cos they’re not biased to anything but good ball .
Like the difference i really think between Giannis looking much worse if if he had a bad game or is defended well : he just decided to play ‘harder’ not smarter , which means commit offensive fouls z
And now it feels like I’m not longer the only one seeing it. It’s weird cos like I said I love watching Zion or Lebron but they are not close in terms of this shit n have lvl of finesse and weird agility/Grace fir their size maybe? Idk pls tell me if I’m biased cos i really think I just don’t like Giannis way of ball n not even dislike power finishers either.
respect for Tucker. Giannis a manufactured superstar bum wouldn’t be near where he is without the refs
He right
I want this dude on the Celtics low-key
I love this. Man, I miss PJ so much. Here is hoping “The Locksmith” can be our new PJ.
I love PJ, but cry more
do you know all of Embiids moves as well?
The NBA, where defense is not allowed.
It is bullshit, nba officiating is a joke. International will pass NBA just because of officiating being so dumb in the NBA
Turrible title.
I love the ball don't lie line every time lmao
