it doesnt matter if its a FT or a shot attempt.You're telling me context doesn't matter? How if in this situation Jokic was trying to box out for a rebound potentially? It looks bad because kanter wasn't boxing out
Which is why I asked about the free throw
But you don't know yourself
put it like this, we were all taught that when you box out an opponent, you put a butt on him, and drive him backwards. Well, thats a foul. You have displaced the defender. Now, this does assume he is making an effort to get the rebound, so there's that. He has a right to that spot.
In this short gif, Jokic takes his body weight and just backs into Kanter with a hard shiver.
Do you think it lessens the foul if Kanter is making a play for the rebound? I don't
