Generally, agreed, but by the time he’s playing again he’ll be a UFA, so the contract is largely moot.

But also incredibly common, it was a freak accident if it wasn’t that exact injury happening during a fastbreak would be far far far far far more common. Hell watch the video it wasn’t even the bump that did it, it arguably was the selling of the contact where forced his body into an unnatural motion.

Edit: combo of the two arguably I shouldn’t just blame one or the other especially since like, it is pretty common.

Nervous_Box_3495 | Jazz

34 | 3 hours ago

it was for sure a freak accident, tari i’m certain had no intent of hurting him, although, idk if you have ever been bumped by a stronger guy when running full speed. i don’t think vince was selling it that hard. when you are in motion like that and you get bumped, even if its not super hard, it’s basically impossible to stay balanced, and vince just happened to fall bad on his knee. i really hope he can make a good recovery.

Keep watching the replay, Eason didn’t even go full force, it was more of a tap. The earlier tweet made it sound like Eason speared Vince, but Vince just landed really awkwardly when he planted his foot. That play 9 times out of 10 doesn’t result in such a freak injury.

Yeah it’s fine because it’s a contact sport. If you try to intentionally trip my legs or tackle me then no.

BlacqanSilverSun | Kings

-4 | 2 hours ago

Let’s speak plainly.

Eason was trying to prevent Williams from joining the fastbreak. He bumped him to, at best, knock him out of the play, off balance or out of bounds. That is what happened. It wasn’t a mistake. It was an intentional act.

Now was the fact that this action could hurt Williams going thru Eason’s head when he did it. I don’t know. Only Eason does. But he is intelligent enough to know it was a possibility. It was a reckless, intentional and unnecessary act that directly lead to Williams being hurt.

That is the truth.

UntilDoncic | Lakers

“straight shoved”

It’s a foul, it’s not really a basketball move so maybe you could even call it a flagrant 1, but I think that’s a stretch. It’s something that happens many times, every single game.

They’re both sprinting and he straight up goes feet out of his way to run into and check a guy who’s sprinting to get back on D. Wtf do you think he goes flying?

He goes flying because he is trying to sell contact and have the fastbreak opportunity blown dead. His head snaps back like he was in a car accident dude, he definitely oversold that shit. It’s a shame it happened but acting like Tari turned into a linebacker is ridiculous

Immaculatehombre

-7 | 3 hours ago

He goes flying because he’s sprinting and some jackass comes and checks him from the side when he’s not expecting contact whatsoever.

How do you defend what Tari does here? He actually does straight up turn into a linebacker, he sure as fuck isn’t playing basketball he had a free run at the hoop and decides to go in the complete other direction to check somebody. You ppl are dumb af defending this as some basketball play.

heresyforfunnprofit | Spurs

It’s positioning, and in most instances it’s not even a foul. It’s legal to use your body to establish space to push another player out so you have an advantage. This happens no less than 100 times every NBA game.

Immaculatehombre

-1 | 3 hours ago

Obviously body contact is part of basketball and guys use their bodies to create separation.

I’ve never seen guys go 3 feet out of their way on a fast break to check the back/side of a player to get better position on a fast break.

Straight up, someone pulls this shit on you in a game you aren’t getting pissed off? You getting up and telling the guy nice play?

heresyforfunnprofit | Spurs

Cut off??? Bruh the defender is sprinting and gets checked from behind/side, he wasn’t simply “cut off”. This isn’t about getting position, that’s not how basketball is played.

As a GM Danny Ainge is 933-844, that’s a career win percentage of .525

Someone tell me why this guy is so great again?

For real, any good GM would simply not allow their players’ ACLs to tear. Really lazy of Ainge to let this happen smh

Fuck yall too. Tari wasn’t malicious or intentionally injuring the guy, the hate is unwarranted.

Was what he did reckless?

Was it unnecessary?

It was unnecessary, in the same way that 90% of NBA contact when jostling for position is unnecessary. It just gives guys a higher likelihood to score/defend on a given possession. Literally what this was, just had an incredibly unfortunate outcome with how Vince landed.

It absolutely sucks and I feel for Vince, but don’t turn it into something it’s not. I didn’t see anywhere near this kind of discourse when Joe Ingles injured Kawhi’s ACL in a similar bump.

You’re a liar.

This convo was all over the Kawhi and Ingles incident. Probably louder.

Also to frame this as he was just trying to box him out is disingenuous. What a cop out. If you’re trying to say Tari was just giving effort to play defense then why not just runback hard and go for the block. It’s a cheap shot. Players know it and fans do to. You don’t push someone from behind or the side when they arent aware you’re there. It’s kinda of funny this has to be even said and speaks to fan bias. If this had happened to Reed Shepard, you guys would be losing your minds.

“Collision” used in the same way as “accident” when someone running a red T-bones a car with right of way

Always knew Tari was dirty. He should give Vince $5M and give me 10%
