[Highlight] More replays from different angles of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander push-off, which made his clutch 3-pointer waived off
Full extension, using the palm.
Yup that’s what got him called here
They’ll let it go if you just do the chicken wing
Yep him extending got it called for sure
For sure extending the arm got it called
Sure extending the arm called it
Extend arm call it.
extend
tend
END
CALL IT
his limb being fully erect is what caused the foul
Thunder fan trying to fit in lmfaooo
The chicken wing needs to start being called too
If this is not getting called, might as well cancel the sport, what are the defenders supposed to do?
Yeah that’s the textbook definition of a push-off, clear as day.
Definitely an offensive foul. Which makes the fact that it was never called before more egregious.
He literally does this at least 5 times a game. They just pick and choose when to call it
5 might be too less, every shot he makes that doesn’t result in free throws is like this
as a sga hater…most of the time its not full extension with palm like this. hes usually good about doing the chicken wing…which should still be a foul as its effectively the same thing…but hes a master of it.
No he doesn’t, he does the chicken wang
on the play he got picked by Thompson late in the fourth he literally shoves him full extension twice and still lost the ball lmao
5 times? It’s literally every time he shoots
And what better time to do it then with the game on the line?
Depending on if it costs them the game, this should be more effective than putting SGA in foul trouble with offensive fouls.
He did it every shot he took in the 3 minutes prior to this
Remember the one Paul Reed did
Anyone who thinks this is a controversial call needs to take a long look in the mirror and come gently but resolutely to the unavoidable realization that their powers of discernment are compromised.
It’s controversial because Shai does this all the time. Why is it a foul this time, and not every other time?
The correct call shouldn’t be the controversial one.
The problem is the timing of the call, yeah he does similar things to this throughout the game. The full extension is the smoking gun, but it’s just another example of the refs being extremely inconsistent.
I agree, they should call it like more often, at least twice every game from the ones I have seen
Lmao
He’s talking about you for the record. Shai should get called on his bullshit like everyone else should.
Because he doesn’t?
He puts out a chicken wing but this palm contact rarely happens and when it does it usually gets called. He usually just toes the line like everyone else but this one was out of control.
he constantly does full arm extensions
using his palm doesn’t actually make it more of a foul
Full extension here. Usually he doesn’t really do it like that
Usually he chicken wings, which is dubiously legal (the best kind of legal) but rarely called
Yes he does.
Most superstars push off but this sub thinks shai is hitler
Its absurd lmao
Everyone does do it but it should be called every time. It’s ridiculous that it isn’t.
Having said that fuck them for calling it now. What an all time highlight we were robbed of.
All time highlight? 😂
Well now instead of us reading “push off lol” it’s “25 FTA lol”
What a horrific take
What if… they called this each time he does it?
Hed be averaging 20,which is nice, he can continie his streak
he’d foul out
I wonder the same when i watch Luka
Seriously. It’s not enjoyable to watch him get away with what everyone else says are “far more egregious pushoffs” ten times a game. Just call him fairly and end this blatant favoritism to this ugly style of basketball.
Every time Shai has a good game, I check his FTM and if it’s more than 40% of his points I immediately know that he just pulled this kind of bullshit all game long and it’s basically just fake
He wouldn’t be a superstar. Mid level player at best
I doubt he would adjust accordingly
He’s just in favor with the league office for some reason
i’m in tears
ya that’s a clear foul. full extension of the elbow is an easy call for the ref. this is very different than the chicken wing shove that shai (and every other superstar ever) uses
Hell ya push off into a travel for the win that kids is how you become an nba super star
It seems pointless to keep telling into the wind about traveling but at what point did they stop calling that? Cuz to my old eyes that looks like a travel
Not a strong push but that arm was full extended, also with the palm
Get in here Reddit!!!
That’s a good call, I respect it
Reddits 12⁄25. Hive mind!
Even when they call it yall complain lmao
King Henry would be proud
LMFAO
A full on palm of your hand on the dude and we have to question if it’s the right call?
Not sure I wanna be a fan of this new nba lol
Tatum-like push-off, a new shitty tactic by SGA…correct call
Let’s fucking goo!!!
CALL THIS EVERY GAME PLS
Cant be more obvious. He gets away so much with these push offs. Needa to be called more consistently.
Finally.
r/nba 12⁄25
Look how many steps he took on that step back lmfao modern basketball is a travesty that the refs consider all of that a gather
He didn’t even have to do it, he already had enough space.
Was that Luke Walton 💀💀
pistons gotta coach huerter with these close outs, if this is not an offensive foul sga will shoot fts.
every single top player does this regularly except wemby because wemby can do no wrong
Oh so now they wanna call this? 😂
They’re trying to set this up as the finals matchup so bad. Both great teams don’t get me wrong. I think they’re currently better than my team.
Officiating for both teams is always in their favor. I think both teams are great and don’t even need the friendly whistle.
“I’m not mad at the call, the issue is he does it all game so why are we calling it with the game on the line?” careful what you wish for, broadcast man
Near every contested jumper i see that arm out
Some chicken wings but thats whatever
That’s a foul, he actually pushed him with his hand, it’s an easy call. What he’s good at normally is the bump off where he doesn’t extend the arm fully
Humorously it was an easy call because the defender made no effort to stay in front of Shai (or was already beaten) and made it much easier to see
Maybe this is the new meta like guarding Harden from behind was towards the end of his prime?
Jaden McDaniels has done it a few times this season. He has the length to step back to highlight the arm extension then recover if necessary. Need a long wing for it to be feasible.
Refs the only ones who can stop Shai in the clutch
Did it all damn game
So did Paul Reed
He even fell down after the shot.
He’s really a complete player. 🤣🤣
Doesn’t matter, we got an OT masterclass from the MVP to ice the game
his two consecutive push offs against Thompson where he got picked in the fourth were egregious, he does it every play lmao fuck this guy
And the fucker acts like he didn’t do anything. Take away the whistle he averages 10 pts a game.
Elite clutch call by the refs, He’s been using push offs his whole career but I think the world is healing now that it’s finally getting called. Hopefully this extends to every and all superstars
[deleted]
I hate him lol, but when a refs calls a right play, you gotta give him his dues. Nobody complained about the refs before so why does it matter now?
You gotta be a massive loser to be happy about a step back game winning 3 getting overturned by the refs
But you don’t have to be a massive loser to be happy that an offensive foul was correctly called an offensive foul!
[removed]
It’s always the no flairs lol
incel behavior is wigging out over the most trivial, inconsequential shit
It’s literally always the incels who hate him
Maybe he shouldn’t have pushed off to get it
Your an even bigger looser for not thinking that was offensive fould. Arms full streched with open palm push.
Weak ass call. Call it every time or not at all.
Yeah it should be called every time
You’re right!
Recited from the commentators lmao. This is for sure a push off
You’re asking NBA referees to be consistent??
do you think shai knows he’s not supposed to do that
i dont think you wont like it if push offs are consistently called lol
Thunder fans complain about call lol
That wouldn’t end great for yall…
Yep, should be called everytime. Your right Shai gets away with it too much.
