It’s an exclamation point on the most exciting play of the sport. You’re not directly taunting an opposing player all you’re doing is highlighting an exciting play you made. Just heard the Toyota Center get the loudest it has been all night while up 20 against the defending champs and a whistle takes the air out of the whole arena.
Is this over the Sengun one?
That was dumb. It’s correct to the letter of the law, but I don’t think it’s in the spirit at all. That was not an over the top celebration, and Sengun was going to hang on the rim that long regardless because he had so much momentum.
