Ok, the first question in the discussion for this calm would be: did the ref break any rules or make a call that was not based on something real? The answer is no. What Giannis did was against the rules. Ok. That discussion about fining this ref is over.
Now the discussion should be about if we want that to be a rule. I for one am fine with light taunting
Define light taunting and heavy taunting? I don’t condone either, its a slippery slope. You can be emotional and not a POS. They are playing against eachother not enemies. Its how things escalate, as entertaining as the brawl at the palace was or similar occurances, theres no place in public or sports for that behavior. An innocent fan or player shouldn’t have to worry about their own health or children being permanently effected over a bball scuffle that hardly anyone will remember a few months from now.
