Notice Did anyone else notice

Honestly the ref wasn't looking at it and backed into him. I don't think it was on purpose.

 

I don't care how you know, nor should you care how I know.

Let me clarify, though. I know you need to give a player room to land in certain offensive situations. The play where Nurk was injured is not one of those plays

 

Yes, it was complete Bush league

 

Yeah, and he tripped over Nurk's left foot further injuring Nurk's left leg. But he appeared to be looking straight ahead rather than down so I don't think it was on purpose or even thoughtless. Probably just really bad luck.

 

Well, I'm gonna disagree and let's leave it at that.
I broke a ligament doing exactly the same thing, stepping on some guy's foot during a volleyball game. That's what I learned when I was being cared for. There, I force fed you.

 

that's false because NBA players don't have a set of eyes on the back of their heads.

and the 'landing rule' is about defenders moving under shooters. Nurk was battling for rebounding position
