It’s almost as if the Zebras just wanna ruin the fun. Imagine if this was the first time a kid was able to see Giannis in person? All that time, money, and effort to see your favorite player just for them to get the boot.
To eject Giannis over that, but a few days ago Draymond Green is allowed to run and yell at refs for 45 seconds and gets no tech for it is just a gross display of abusive power.
Whether you agree that taunting should be legal or not… Giannis was already on a tech and the league sent out a memo saying this particular type of move after a Dunk would be enforced. Why even give the ref the opportunity? He taunted, it’s clear as day per the league office’s memo.
There’s a reason you t up a taunt, especially when its something like Giannis bowing up/flexing on a guy. If you don’t call it there, the same people calling the league soft for this, will be complaining that the refs lost control when there is a hard foul the other direction in retaliation.
