[Highlight] Moses Moody puts Austin Reaves on a poster
I literally had no idea he could do that.
“I’m sorry officer. I…didn’t know I couldn’t do that…”
”Chip, don’t do it!” And he took off
Moody got that dawg in him. Wish he got the same PT like Kuminga’s
He’s averaging more minutes than Kuminga post all star break. He’s started the last 15ish games too
They don’t watch basketball games, they watch highlights. You’ll have to excuse them.
to be fair, Kuminga was hurt for a bunch of that time
He’s had a few missed attempts before that had me wondering if given the right takeoff he could maybe to that
Hes done it before. Ppl usually get out the way
He postered someone a few days ago. He’s sneaky athletic.
I think it’s Missi…
Commit an offensive foul?
If LeBron postered someone and they called it an offensive foul how pissed would you be though lol
I wouldn’t be pissed. I would feel bad for whoever took a charge on LeBron tho lol
You’d probably wish it was bron’s balls in your face instead of theirs
I mean yes?
Based
It doesn’t negate the poster. It negates the points. But the poster is about the clip.
lol
Can’t wait for the commercial break to overturn that easy charge call.
Rule of Cool should let this stand smh
Sure just show people this highlight and not the outcome, still looks coolish?
Yup, like that Ja on Wemby dunk people were calling for dunk of the year in the same sentence as “even though it was a foul and didn’t count” that was all over every highlight reel.
Nah fuck that clean charge
Slide-in charges need to be fucking banned, they’re dangerous and it’s not basketball.
Least obvious missed charge call
Its going to get overturned
It was
It got called a charge.
They got one right at least. Man. Refs miss some obvious stuff every game.
Yeah the refs have been atrocious this season.
I’d probably wait out the challenge first.
A poster is a poster idc if it counts or not
Now hold on a second, what makes a poster so crazy is the defender tries to block or stop the basket and he gets yammed on for his efforts. When you take a charge your job is to just stand there and let him run into you. Celebrating that poster is like celebrating a homerun hit off a T-ball lol
Categorically untrue.
☝️🤓
I’m way more impressed by a dunk that counts.
Congrats bro, it was against your boy so I’m not surprised.
So Ja dunking all over Wemby even 0.5 seconds after the whistle still wasn’t cool to you?
It’s obviously still cool to watch Ja elevate against a mountain, but I wouldn’t put a bucket that didn’t count on a poster.
What does that mean Kobe Bryant
Drawing a charge is a lot more common in amateur basketball than it is in the NBA. The rule is that the defender has to be in a defensive position before the offensive player leaves the ground. This often happens in amateur ball, the thing about the NBA is that they jump like bouncing balls from the free throw line. So watching the NBA it’s deceptive, what feels like a charge often isn’t because they are such incredible athletes. The defender has to get there so early.
With that said, this is clearly a charge, as clear as they come. This isn’t even a hard call for the ref. First pic is when Reaves gets in position, 2nd is when Moody leaves the ground. Reaves is clearly outside the restricted area.

This wasn’t a poster at all, but a good defensive play.
It was called a charge.
Good
Podz is an absolute master at understanding where the ball handler wants to take off at and beating them to the spot, he led the nba in charges taken as a rookie lol.
To be pedantic it’s not about when the offensive player jumps, but when they start their upward scoring motion. Which is never clearly defined in the rules, but typically when they start to raise the ball prior to lifting off.
Either way Reeves beat him to the spot.
Show the third pick of reeves leaning out of the way and moody barely grazing him. Dumbass call
Yeah I hate these. Just leave it as a no call. Get touched and fall back 10 feet
The rule is not before they leave the ground.
Are you a bot? Or did you just not read my comment.
The rule is not “before they leave the ground.” I read your comment, you quoted the rule wrong
[deleted]
wtf
Replied to wrong comment with that one sry
Your image shows reeves feet moved between the frames
Genuine question - should that negate the charge given he’s not set?
You can see Reaves is closer to the restricted area in the second frame - implying he wasn’t set
But I don’t fully know the rule…thanks!
I bet it makes a cool poster regardless of a good defensive play.
Wouldn’t the game be better if the call was on the gather, not when the player leaves the ground. It makes more sense that you have to be in a legal guarding position that starts on the gather. Not all shots make you leave the ground it’s kinda dumb as a rule.
No it’s not, when players can gather the ball at the 3 point line. Imagine Giannis Eurostepping from beyond the 3p line, the defender is already in position at the basket, yet they don’t get the foul when he barrels into them?
It has to do with safety. If the player is in the air, they’re vulnerable. That’s why fouls are called once the player leaves the ground.
Plus,.with euro step, each step can take a new direction. Offensive player has time to avoid the defensive player.
That call might have been technically correct but it was lame as hell. Fans want dunks. Not charges.
The only reason this happened was because it was a foul lol. And if it wasn’t then it means you can’t play defense which the people dont want
People want to watch primary defenders be able to guard the ball handler without being called for tick tack fouls. They don’t want to see someone in the antithesis of a good defensive stance stand under the basket and wait to get bulldozed by someone about to throw down a sick dunk.
I’m a firmed believer that the game would be improved if only primary defenders could take a charge. Push offs should absolutely be a foul. Fans want more dunks and less awesome plays being negated by someone standing under the rim waiting to fall over. Try to block the shot. That’s the defense fans want to see.
Fans also want defenders to be allowed to play the game. Can’t just run through players who are standing still.
It got overturned as an offensive foul.
Cool dunk from Moody but Reaves did a great job drawing a charge there.
Charges are cooler than dunks now huh
Ain’t nobody say that
In today’s NBA they’re definitely harder to get.
It is when it benefits the Lakers, obvi
Honestly thought he wasnt out the arc. Dude is so good at helping
Successful challenge. Obvious charge.
i straight up choked on my dinner
ALL HAIL MODY MOOSE
Why is this not a charge? AR looked like he had gotten to his spot
I mean it is a charge just wasn’t called
PARTED THE RED SEA
MOODEY MOSES
Close call. Let’s see how the challenge goes
Feel like it was an offensive foul, but still
Aged well.
A charge, but big picture that’s a good sign for Moody. I didn’t know he’s capable of that lol
emphasis on the but still
Successful challenge.
Hmmm a true NBA tradition lol.
Offensive fouls don’t matter if it looks cool lol
There’s gotta be a rule of cool. You dunk on a dude like that it’s gotta count
I am again asking that if you refer to a play as a poster, you include the poster shot
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODY WHAT WAS THAT
A chargeeeeeee
OH ME OH MY
OHHHHHHHHHHH…Moody said: REVIEW DEEZ NUTZ ON YA CHIN!
That was a worldwide posterizing.
LeBron is dead guys
Boy this post aged like milk
Goodness gracious that is vile, what a start to this game
I don’t want to watch a league where this is a foul
That dunk reset Reeve’s and Bron’s brain at the same time.
Wtf is this fear of getting posterized? Nobody gets an easy shot, contest everything
Hick on hick crime
Easiest charge ever. He had all the time in the world to perfectly plant his feet.
Offensive foul, dunk didn’t count
Liked like a charge to me, tbh. He was outside restricted.
And I hate the Lakers.
You quick af.
Charge but should count for rule of cool
If you got put on a poster trying to take a charge it should always be a block. Idc what the rules are.
I did not think he was gonna get to the rim
You still have time to take this foul down :)
“Worth it” - Moody probably
This is the walmart version of Wiggs on Luka
It was an offensive foul but only because of how offensive that dunk was to Reeves manhood
Nah i would say austin reeves was exactly in the right place at the right time.
They give posters for charges?
Reeves, move out the way. Players can jump over you.
Bron ignore/letting him stay down for like a year.
Finally an ACTUAL poster clip
Good block
Down goes mclovin
Creamed all over him
ya that’s a 10% half n half
rAtInGs ARe dOwN?!
Rule of cool says this counts
this shit not remind anyone of the Kobe-Nash dunk. It feels oddly similar, play development and all
Ah god that felt so damn good
White man got jumped
This being called an offensive foul is part of the reason ratings are going down. That is an awesome dunk and to negate it because Reaves stood in the way and fell down is criminal.
The NBA needs a “Rule of Cool” that overrides these bullshit calls.
Such a terrible take. You think offensive players should just be allowed to bulldoze defenders? Just run straight through them?
It’s the opposite. People want defenders to be able to play the game, the offense is already handed everything.
Using loaded terms like “bulldoze” shows you are very passionate about this subject and I bet you are only two comments from ad hominem arguments so I’m going to take a pass on this.
I’ll just say that dunks are more exciting than charges.
