Fouled the fuck outta him lmao
Edit: dame fouled him too lmao
Wonder if Jones Jr thought Dwayne wade was going to bail him out and award him points like he did when Aaron Gordon got robbed of a dunk title
Hope you like your turkey with STUFFING!
PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM, OR SO HELP ME
Bro was PISSED
from the title I thought he blocked grant williams and im a little bummed
Grant can't hit the fast break like that.
Massive push with the off arm tbh
I didn’t see it at first. Then I read your comment. So I went back to look for it and it turns you’re just wrong lol. To be a push off there would need to be an extension of the arm in the direction of the player. That just doesn’t happen, let alone massively.
seriously when is this sub going to learn the rules? Half an arm is allowed
Might want to familiarize yourself with the rules if you’re going to tell other people to learn them
“Contact initiated by the defensive player guarding a player with the ball is not legal. This contact includes, but is not limited to, forearm, hands, or body check.”
Rule 12B Section 1b

You can’t put your forearm into someone’s back while they’re in the air lmao
That’s a foul every day of the week regardless of extension
Not really a push off
Shit was the nastiest casual block of his career. Was anticipating it the entire way lol
Early block of the year candidate.
Nah
What is up with this court? Where are all the colours?!
Giannis fouling in a dangerous way but getting rewarded? In my NBA?
Doesn't matter; got stripped
Am I crazy? That looked like a clear foul
i only watch in-season tournament games. that’s all that matters
Monster chase-down lol. From the top of the three to the other paint. Expect that hustle from someone making millions y'all brainwashed
One of the most physically dominating blocks I’ve ever seen. You could see it coming too with the little hiccup rather step before he could gather the ball
Lucky Jones landing is fine, kinda scary to me with that falling posture
and a foul
He angy
Coming from the right hip and landing left, he’s a freak
It blows my mind how oblivious some players are to guys like Giannis and LeBron on a fast break that was caused by one of their turnovers. Like you surely have to know they're going to be exploding down the court to make up for it but no, the amount of people who just saunter down there and try and lay it up like it's pre game shootaround is crazy.
Huge credit to Giannis. A lot of players would've just stayed up the other end shrugging their shoulders and feeling sorry for themselves.
Credit to Giannis for chasing it down. A lot of players would just shrug their shoulders and stay up the other end feeling sorry for themselves but this was a blatant foul. In fact, there were two blatant fouls because Dame absolutely fouled him before the block.
Shoutout to Dame for initiating contact to slow down the break away. I think Giannis gets there anyways but it feels like every chase down block has someone else initially slow down the fast break.
u/savevideo
His hand is on his back pushing him from behind, altering his movement. That’s a foul where I come from.
