I can understand your logic with Clark, but her situation and coverage isn’t the same as Jokic.

Jokic earned his respect the hard way and came from relative obscurity as opposed to all the fanfare Clark got before even playing a professional game.

I agree with you 100% that a lot of racists and bigots tried to use Clark’s success as a way to bash black players, but I haven’t seen that with Jokic. Maybe it is though. I’m not a huge social media guy outside of here and a few other things.

I’m not comparing how they came up. I even agree that she’s probably more popular than he is. But the principle is still the same, just on a smaller scale.

tell me if I’m having an epiphany right now

Do players flail when being fouled while shooting just to get the ref to blow the whistle or because genuinely they do it to gather enough energy to shoot the ball because their original shooting motion was interrupted?

It’s the body’s response to attempt the shot again while the arm is raised so it has to go back down (not all the way) and back up again

The former

I literally see this when I referee

This is the thing, a shooters natural motion is to go straight up and down. They train to shoot with objects obstructing their view to maintain this form

So how it is that when the object is now a human, you have to exert more effort to shoot? I can see maybe a double pump cause maybe the close out was faster than you thought it was gonna be but to act like you got hit when you didn't, you're baiting the official to blow the whistle

You not authorized to challenge me on this

you can tell me you’re 100% sure that anatomically the arms of a shooter wouldn’t flail when rising for a jump shot after being fouled due to the body’s/brain signals to still get the shot off?

Ok you lost me

Did the shooter get fouled on a previous play and this is in response to a previous shot?
 
Then sign Isaiah Stevens or Josh Christopher to a two way

Then in 2031 we about to swap with the pacers to get the 34th pick instead of the 40th

It’s lit
