[Highlight] Wendell Carter Jr. shoves Jalen Duren in the air. Upgraded to a Flagrant 1 upon review.
The Angel Reese Bowl is getting spicy
I’m out of the loop, is she dating one of them?
Duren’s ex and Wendell’s current
Her?
This might surprise you but mutual hobby is important in the dating scene
Is she funny or something?
Man people missed this Arrested Development reference because we old Bruv.
Dated Duren for a little bit, is dating WCJ now
She kind of favors wcj in the face
😂 Wendell not slick
that’s a good flagrant one. it doesn’t seem he was really intentionaly trying to harm him but u can’t push a guy in the air
I agree. Textbook “yeah you just can’t do that.”
Does it change your mind knowing that one of them is dating angel reese and the other is her ex?
It 100% seemed like he was trying to hurt him, what do you mean? Getting your ass kicked on like a 25-0 run, dude used to fuck his girl…he immediately was looking for a reaction from Pistons teammates…it was definitely intentional and out of frustration.
And the magic do this frequently.
he’s in the air and his forearm is in the back but hardly gets extended. i don’t understand where people are seeing a shove. it was a nudge at best.
you can see how his body moves and speeds up based on the shove. it is not particularly hard to push a player out of control in the air especially if it is from behind
Youre watching in slow mo, in full speed he gave plenty of force with the arm into someone who is completely vulnerable.
Let me ask you this, if he barely puts any force, how did one of the strongest and heaviest players in the league go flying like that?
Cmon, use some common sense. Also consider the context, they are on the receiving end of a roughly 25-0 run at this point and he is extremely frustrated. And this is a guy who used to date his girl…look at his body language after, trying to shove any pistons teammate who goes near him…it was fully intentional.
Well well if it isnt a Magic center hard fouling the opposing center in midair
Opposing center that used to bone his lady
Well I dont think Jock Landale used to bone Goga Bitadzes lady so it doesnt quite work the same. Could be wrong tho
Oh yeah.. well… I’ll make it happen
Legler (watching replays): It’s not a flagrant. That’s just a hard foul. It’s not a flagrant. It’s just a regular playoff foul.
Ref: It’s been upgraded to a flagrant 1
Then “I thought it would be a flagrant because of the shove”
Legler? Are we listening to different audio or was there a similar situation Legler called?
Edit: For clarity, Breen and RJ are the only ones talking in this particular clip.
Ya sounded like Jefferson
That’s RJ on color commentary
Honestly, when im balling, this is my least favorite foul. Id rather get hit in the face with a missed block than shoved in the back. Its so dangerous
Facts. You’re completely vulnerable in the air. When I take off my brains already considered how I’m going to land through muscle memory. By moving me/turning me/pushing me you’re putting me in a position where I can’t correct to avoid rolling my ankle or something. It’s reckless & pisses me off.
Esp. now that my knees are older and I have less hang time to adjust
The worst of it is when you go up for a rebound or layup high and they push low, tabletopping you
Yea nah that’s a fight
Insecure boyfriend beefing with the ex
I don’t really agree with it but I can see why they called it. That landing was pretty dangerous for a guy that big
I don’t really agree with it
You think he didn’t push him, or you think it’s ok to push people in the back mid air?
It was a textbook obvious decision, hence why it took then 2 seconds to review. You can’t shove a guy in the back while he is jumping…also the context can’t he ignored.
We don’t want any more concussions lol
Don’t simp my man

Dirty Magic
Orlando Magic players doing Orlando Magic things.
Cole Anthony taught a class before he got cut
Pussies
Dirtier than anything the Pistons have done all season btw but certain narratives remain
This is a nothing burger
The softest flagrant in the history of the nba playoffs
This should get called way more often if anything. You got beat, a mid air push is dangerous.
Ref probably went a little strict here because it’s obviously personal from WCJ
By Magic player standards maybe, dirtiest team in the league…you guys are used to far dirtier.
But yeah, you can’t shove a guy in the back while he is airborne, causing him to fall hard…textbook flagrant.
