Why is a staredown after a play considered a technical?

[T-K-G]

It's a weak ass call and always will be

You gettin paid millions of dollars, if a nikka stares you down after yammin on you get over it, ya check still 10x bigger than the fans who are laughin at you

Nba tryna make this shyt soft as hell for kids, these grown ass men out there and you keep coddling them like this

Because NBA players get in their feelings quickly.

It’s not the fans that spark the players’ anger. They’re not tryna slap you. It’s the other player.

Cause cacs think it’s too aggressive

 

[who_better_than_me]

It was the 1st one that came to mind. I remember when Bron swatted that shot from Curry in Game 6 of last year, and gave him the look and some words, I don't think he was called on it

They let it go because klay and Steph low key had been taunting and passive aggressively trolling Bron all series.

Rules like these were put in place to protect cac athletes from anymore shame ...

In most instances...they're typically dominated by minority athletes and athletically shamed....

You think they wanna be embarrasingly outran or out-jumped to have a brotha also be on some....

"GTFOM!!!"....View media item 11374
shyt at the end....

We're typically the ones to be poppin more shyt or aggresively taunting in jest when we play the game...which is just the way brothas run, ball, or hoop...

To me its utilized to maintain some type of control or "lesser win" at the end of the day...

It's like the 1st Amendment/Supreme Court not protecting "speech that could lead to violence"


Hate speech - Wikipedia

Nah, not in the US...we're pretty strict with interpretations of the 1st amendment...

In practice tho, prosecutors know what time it is...not tryna fukk up their conviction rate when a jury comes back not guilty over a breh poppin someone in the mouth after mouthin off some racist bullshyt
Fightin words

Nah breh, they're no different from any of us.

Imagine someone givin you a staredown after dunkin on you on national TV.

Your girl watchin, your fam watchin, the world watchin.

Nikkas ready with the GIFs and shyt on twitter

TNT crew replayin that shyt over and over

Shaq fukkin up your endorsements and next contract crowning u the "tremont Buster"

Nah.

Can't let that shyt slide.

Nah breh, its really to keep shyt from escalatin.

The stakes are too high for everyone involved.

Exactly.

And lets be real - nikkas died over this shyt before. Over a fukking streetball game.

Imagine the stakes are millions of dollars and your reputation among the 20 million people watching that shyt.

I can't even imagine the shyt that would happen. Its a green light for everything. Nikkas would be lookin to hand out career ending injuries.

Remind us of all the people who have gotten hurt and died as a result of taunts before the modern interpretations of taunting came around.
