I always hated those slow, fat, white guys in basketball.

But that's where 80% of my blocked shots came from! Every time a fat white guy put up a shot I was like:

#6 is pretty bad.

Really? I thought that one was the least offensive, aside from #2 which was bullshite like you said.

#5 should've gotten him tossed or his arse kicked.

#1 He was swatting at the ball.

#2 is just a joke to even call that flagrant.

#3 he looked to be going for the ball, but the guy pulled the ball down. That one was kind of ticky-tacky, but he did put some power behind his "swat"

#4 was a push, but it was #42, not #34. It is a foul, but it has nothing to do with the guy everyone is bashing about being sat/ejected.

#5 is a hard, dirty foul. I've seen players ejected for that shite and I've seen some get away with it. That is the only one that I have any real issue with. It was dirty and uncalled for.

#6 is kind of iffy. He looked to be going for the rebound, but his fat arse couldn't jump high enough. He decided to swat at the players arms. A foul for sure, but not flagrant.



Agree with all of this.

1 was pretty bad

2 was a joke

3 was bad

4 different player but just a push anyway

5 and 6 should have been an ejection IMO

This kid is fat and uncoordinated but learned and is implementing a very important life lesson, "When life gives you lemons, punch it in the dick until it doesn't"

I kinda want to punch him in his fatass mouth after seeing him smile after #5.

And most of those were flagrant, there is absolutely zero need to SWAT that hard on a basketball.

Especially considering he didn't seem to be aiming for the ball half the time.

Looks like most of the dickheads you see playing in church basketball leagues

1 and 2 weren't flagrant. 3 and 5 were though. 4 was a different guy, but just a push. Didn't watch 6 because I don't like video with crying commentary and unnecessary and multiple slow mo replays. Also, I thought there were only five so I stopped.

I actually have less problem with #5 than some of the others. I was taught that if a guy is going for a layup and you are going to foul him, the FOUL HIM. Nothing is worse than picking up the foul and then letting the guy get the shot off. It looked bad because he outweighed the other guy by a hundred pounds, but he really did go for the ball. It was just a hard foul.

Some of the other swats, look to me like he got a little extra in them that was not necessary. Those actually offended me more because getting that little extra served no purpose.

When they say "foul him", it means to use your body to hit him and knock his arms with your own arms. It means don't just do a little swat and slap him on the wrist.

It doesn't mean reach with one arm and slam him down from the air.

Not only is that stupid, but you will probably get a technical foul called on you, thus making the play even worse for you, and could possibly be ejected.
