No he is saying that he didnt palm the bal against the backbord. He pressed down the ball so it wouldn't like hit the backbord and fly behind him. Plus he touched the net or the rim idk
You can't trap it if it already touched the board. He made contact with the ball before it touched the board and trapped it. Also though he made contact with the rim it didn't effect the shot or the block. No ref is calling that.
@@tobysrey7117every rule is gonna have a certain amount of discretion given to the ref. Yes he certainly touched the rim, but since it has no impact on the play the ref likely took discretion and had a no call, which is the right thing to do.
@@bluezman People have been pinning the ball against the backboard like that since forever. We're going by the calls the refs make on a constant basis not your little rule book. Go talk to the refs about choosing what to enforce if that's actually illegal
@@gahanmodule7378You’re not allowed to touch the rim if the ball is above it even if the ball isn’t going in and someone blocks it while it’s above the rim or touch’s the rim it’s a goal tend
Wrong answer, the ball was not on the decline, so it was not a goal tend. You can pin the ball against the BB. You are allowed to touch the rim to brace your fall.
No it's legal. You hit the ring with his left hand. If he held it that would be illegal. Also "A batted ball against the backboard is not a trapped ball"
This is like the most replayed NBA clip of all time. There's an angle that shows his fingers on the ball and there's a gap between the ball and the backboard
It was a block. Ball didn't hit the backboard first nor was it coming down. LeBron didn't hold it against the backboard either. He hit it against which is allowed. His hand never stopped to hold the ball against the backboard and the ball was allowed to bounce off. If you don't know sh*t, don't talk so matter-of-factly. That's just misinformation.
For the trapped ball to be called, the ball would have needed to be released sooner, he got the ball as Iggy was releasing. Also from my understanding of the goaltending rules, rim contact is only prohibited if the ball is on the rim or if the hand/arm is somehow prohibiting the ball from going in. Honestly I’d say it’s clean.
@@PlugOfHarlem crazy cuz that one chip in 2016 was worth more than all those three you guys had the best record in NBA HISTORY AND WERE UP 3-1. THREE TO ONE. That is the biggest choke ever recorded 🤣
@@NBAClient in what crazy world of yours is winning ONE RING more important or better then winning THREE RINGS . Like I said we won 2015 , 2017 and SWEPT LEBRON In 2018 4-0 😂.
As a former ref the rule is you can’t touch the ball when it’s in a downward trajectory. You can touch it on the way up you can trap it against the glass, but I’ve never noticed the rim touch.
Oh yeah, just like how Mikes legendary game 6 ankle breaker and midrange jumper to win the finals in 98 was a pushoff bcuz he barely touched the hem of his defenders shorts
The ball has to touch the backboard first to be ruled a goaltend, he blocks it just a blip prior to that , secondly he blocks it a blip prior to touching the rim, therefore its not a shot at that point its a loose ball so touching the rim doesnt matter at that point sooooo"block by jamesssss"
I mean goaltending is when the ball is going in a down motion it was still going up so no goaltending tbh and I’m a warrior fan bruh that block was clean asf
Playing above the rim is completely legal, goal tending is a rule that was made to stop players from denying shots that are already falling into the rim, for example I take a three point shot and as it is falling lebron jumps and puts his hand over the rim to block it. That's goal tending.
