This is exactly what this sub has been complaining about all season with players gaming the system to get cheap free throws, yet when it happens to LeBron, there’s a million comments begging for it to be a foul. The cherry on top was Brooks going up and bumping LeBron after the shot and Booker clearly swiping his wrist on the shot, yet this sub claimed they should have been ignored. Wilfully blind morons.

Around 1:10 in this long clip they show a couple replay angles, you can make your own judgement. Imo >!its difficult to call either way, the brooks’ kickout is not as obvious as a lot of Lakers fans seem to be saying in here!<

Recommend watching muted since suns announcers are buns

kurruchi | Minneapolis Lakers

13 | 14 hours ago

It can go either way, but I guess you give the benefit of the doubt when LeBron is clearly tucking his entire body in and Brooks extends his left arm/leg towards him. There’s no affect on the shot, danger to his landing space etc.

The funniest part is some people see LeBron’s right arm tucked in as him reaching across his body to punch him? As if he simultaneously tucks in his left side to avoid him, while intending to truck him with a landing space foul, and punching him after the shot. Lmao

NeoMagnet | Lakers

2 | 12 hours ago

I tend to agree that Bron moves in such a way that he’s trying avoid contact, but at the same time don’t think the Brooks’ extension of his arm and legs towards him looks THAT intentional. Again, too close to call (which by the book means the floor ruling stands, but that’s neither here nor there)

My question with regards to the right arm is: why bother tucking it in at all? Isn’t moving his right arm like that actually putting it closer to Brooks and increasing the chance of contact? That’s a bit weird to me.

Constant_Charge_4528 | Bulls

8 | 13 hours ago

Gotta be honest it still looks extremely minimal. I know natural shooting motion is a meme but it doesn’t really look like an unnatural movement, especially when you put it next to clips of SGA kicking his entire legs out with no intention of landing on his feet, looks ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ to me

NeoMagnet | Lakers

5 | 13 hours ago

Yeah totally agree, it’s hard to call.

GuntherTime | Warriors

1 | 12 hours ago

All roads lead back to the refs. If you let the SGA thing slide and call it a foul then you at least gotta be consistent and call this a foul. Saying Brooks kicked his leg out just looks bad by comparison.

gnawlej | Thunder

2 | 14 hours ago

Thanks, the slo-mo helps a lot. I’m not sure LeBron was far away enough to avoid that contact, but I can see what they mean on the left leg. Agree that it’s a tough call. Also, am I trippin or does it kinda look like LeBron gives Brooks a quick right hand slap to the ribs?

NeoMagnet | Lakers

1 | 13 hours ago

Yeah not sure what’s going on with that, hard to say if his right hand touches Brooks. However if the key determination of the ruling is whether or not brooks unnaturally alters his shot movement to initiate contact I don’t think LeBron’s right hand matters. Either it was Brooks kicking out or it was a shooting foul by Bron.

gnawlej | Thunder

3 | 13 hours ago

Fair point. Thanks for the reasonable takes.

Qaanol | Warriors Bandwagon

2 | 13 hours ago

Either it was Brooks kicking out or it was a shooting foul by Bron.

Eh… to me it looks pretty clear that LeBron intentionally and unnecessarily slapped Brooks in the chest after the shot was already in the air.

That’s not a basketball play, it’s not part of contesting the shot, it’s literally just hitting someone.

I don’t know the details of the rulebook, but I would hope and expect that “one player intentionally slaps an opponent” should be some sort of foul.

Hostile act?

Unnecessary contact?

Technical foul after the play?

It’s gotta be something, otherwise players could just go around slapping each other all the time.

reapersaurus | Kings

4 | 11 hours ago

Agreed. I don’t understand why and how people are seeing Brooks movement as being big enough to void Lebron’s body contact, while simultaneously completely ignoring the obvious hit by Lebron to Brooks’ chest.

The movement and contact is right there for everyone to see, and it’s not even questionable. It’s not a remotely natural movement. Lebron doesn’t try to avoid causing contact to Brooks with his right arm ; he literally swipes ACROSS his body against his direction of movement to cause the hit to Brooks after release of the ball.

I have personally seen fouls called this season for people barely touching the belly/chest area during a shot, even as a natural/protective move, and those fouls have been upheld even after being challenged! The inconsistency with NBA reffing is absolutely maddening.

NeoMagnet | Lakers

0 | 12 hours ago

You’re entitled to your opinion obviously, but idk how you’re getting “lebron intentionally slaps brooks in the chest” from this clip when I can’t even tell if he actually touches the side of brooks’ torso with his right hand.

Assuming you’re really trying to discuss this in good faith: I’m not a rules expert either, but my logic is if you determine that Brooks deliberately moved himself in Lebron’s path (which is what the refs decided here) then that’s that. They aren’t litigating which specific parts of the contact would or would not have happened if Brooks had stuck to a “natural shooting motion”. You can’t say “you broke the rules, but it’s ok bc if you didn’t the other person probably would’ve broken the rules too”. If you can find something in the rulebook that contradicts this I’d be very curious to read it.

Qaanol | Warriors Bandwagon

-3 | 12 hours ago

Think about the consequences of your position though.

Let’s take a common scenario where a defender deliberately runs into the path of a shooter.

That’s obviously a foul.

Now, because the defender broke the rules and caused contact, are you saying that gives the shooter the right to deliver an additional slap to the defender, after they launch the shot? Like, not as part of the shooting motion or follow through, but a totally separate “Oh you’re still in my space so I’m going to hit you” slap?

That seems like an easy double-foul situation to me. Just because one person broke the rules, that doesn’t give someone else the right to slap them.

NeoMagnet | Lakers

1 | 12 hours ago

We’re talking about different things here, I think. Yes, obviously if LeBron smacked Brooks anywhere with clear intent during his shooting motion that’s a shooting foul, maybe even a flagrant depending on wind up. I don’t see that in this clip.

As for your example, taking intentionality out of it, then yes; afaik if you determine that a defender ran into a shooter’s space, and the shooter then slaps the defender coming down or something, it’s still only a foul on the defender, not a double foul.

dragoonies | Lakers

1 | 11 hours ago

I thought it was pretty obvious because the direction he was jumping and shooting was perpendicular to the angle that he suddenly extended his left arm and leg. Completely unnatural shooting motion. Lebron’s center of mass and feet also never go into Brooks’ vertical space, the only contact is from Brooks extension of his left arm and leg.

Gordo-- | Warriors

1 | 11 hours ago

Honestly, the call is super close that it could go either way. What makes it difficult to call is the “infraction” is not egregious from either Brooks or LeBron. I think I prefer the view at 2:08 where it shows just how close Bron got to him on the close-out (almost skimming jerseys) though he would have missed him if not for the slight kick-out from Brooks.

I probably would just end up leaning towards what the ends up being on the floor (in this case no foul).

Lucid-Day

-12 | 13 hours ago

It should have been called. People have been called for waaaaaaay less. Brooks’ leg out or not Lebron most definitely is in his landing space, which is while they make that call.

Dude is basically against his ribs lol

NeoMagnet | Lakers

6 | 13 hours ago

Lbj is most definitely not against Brooks’ ribs lol. He knocks into brooks’ left arm and leg, their torsos are really not anywhere near each other. And “Landing space” is very much subject to interpretation, which is why cases like this exist where a defender makes contact with a shooter but it’s not a foul.

DrySolution1366

Except that Lebron does not interfere with the landing but for Brooks causes the contact by sticking his knee out.

I could be wrong, but if they found that Brooks went out of his natural shooting motion to create contact with LeBron is that not then an offensive foul?

I thought the same while seeing the replay. While watching live, it did look like a foul, but the replay definitely shows that brooks’ leg reaches out to his left.

They do know what to look for, but some officials would have called a (bad) shooting foul there anyways. Seems like someone should make a compliation of players doing this stuff on shot attempts for training purposes.

Outside that, it’s pretty interesting that not calling a foul there is what /r/NBA professes to want.

But then when it’s not called people spaz out.

Ya’ll wild saying lebron didn’t foul him. Kick out? That is not a kick out.

This L2M report, and the refs standing by that Hawks Sixers no backcourt violation. Refs are standing on these decisions last night huh.

People know that these reports are just as biased as the refs right? They serve no real purpose other than narrative?

Isn’t the extension of your leg kick apart of your landing zone?

Hasn’t this been an emphasis for half a decade now? Landing zone and player safety means nothing these days.

As long as your shooting motion looks natural for the ref.

They did that to vindicate LeBron and his ego. He was beside himself yesterday on multiple occasions. And that last foul he got WAS NOT A FOUL. He clearly kicked his leg out.

NBA even fixes L2M reports for Bron so sweet

L2M report for Lakers-Suns on Dillon Brooks’ last 3 Point attempt deemed correct non-call: “James (LAL) contests to the side of Brooks (PHX) and would avoid making contact if not for Brooks extending his left leg/knee towards James.”
