[@nydibs]

The nba is physical, but all the contact is created by the offensive player, and then they get bailed out with the whistle

[@tropickman]

That was not physical... the offensive player was simply trying to run by, but was bumping into defender who was quicker on his feet than him. As soon as the defender even remotely matched the offensive player's intensity, refs called foul to discourage strong defense.

It’s just weird because what you’re taught growing up doesn’t apply to the NBA.

I thought getting clamped up meant having good clean defense !!!! ≥. Rewatch the clip, however many times it takes you and per the rules the defender is illegally defending the whole time until he finally gets called for shoving Jalen in the back with his hands and hips instead of protecting his own area and bracing for Jalen's contact. The clip literally starts with Jalen having to push off the defender since his jersey and shorts are being grabbed by him. Y'all really have never actually read the rulebook I swear.

I'm pretty sure the defender got called for the brief push in the back using his hand (at 0:09). Technically, it is a violation, but usually at the NBA level most defenders get away with it when it doesn't create a significant positional advantage, so if I'm not sure I would've made this call if I'm the ref.
