Huge progress in Nikola Jokic's quest to get a 3-shot foul called: NBA's L2M Report says this was an "incorrect call" should have been ruled a shooting foul. "The illegal contact occurs during Jokic's shooting motion and should have been assessed as a shooting foul."
@HarrisonWind I think they really need to clarify this. By the rule yes, technically it should’ve been a shooting foul. However, he had no intention of shooting the ball until he saw the guy coming at him. So I really have no problem with them not calling this a shooting foul.
@HarrisonWind For real, Steph Curry and Lillard heave those shots all the time and they’re recognized as shooting attempts but when Jokic does it, it’s not 🤷🏽♂️ lol.
@HarrisonWind In general, these types of plays where a player anticipates an intentional foul are awarded as shooting fouls far too infrequently Even in my rec league, I have a player on my team who times the shot attempt perfectly every time and he's never once gotten 3 free throws off it
@HarrisonWind @LeBatardShow Free throw merchant embiid gets that called. Nba refs have a vendetta against Balkans
@HarrisonWind Here is example of a ref making a call before it happens unlike most of the game when the whistle comes after the play.
@HarrisonWind Captain Jokic shall continue his pursuit of his white whale
@HarrisonWind @LeBatardShow @jrcook410 @C00KLYN keep an eye on this hilarious shit. he’s done it over 20 times this year and hasn’t gotten the call yet. but he’s begging for it
