Giannis’ Triple-Double remove by the NBA

[BMR Genie]

"I was thinking about scoring the ball, but I feel like in those situations it's best to kind of keep the ball," Antetokounmpo said. "But yeah, I just try to play the game smart and kind of stole one."

Ok

So everyone knows what he was trying to do and he admits it himself

But..... There was still time on the clock and it was legit right?

So how can they remove it just because of the way it played out?

I think the league is not a fan of that process. Though not sure if this is really stated in the NBA rulebook.

I guess if that's really the rule they are stating then it makes sense

He should have tried to lay up with hitting the rim and intentionally missing

Kind of a stupid rule though because if he just flips the ball up playing around and it goes in the basket it still counts for two points even if he wasn't trying

These no defense situations in the NBA at the end of games, plus players trying to pad their stats for money is legitimately compromising the true spread results. Man, I do not like to bet on this league at all. I’m totally turned off by this bullshit at the end.

I like Gianni's but I do think that was a weak move by him.

I just can't imagine the hate if it's Lebron or Westbrook who did that. haha

Especially Westbrook because he hasn’t won a damn thing in his whole career. The haters would be foaming at the mouth & having seizures.

 

[Wagerallsports]

Westbrook the best triple double guy ever so he would never have to result to shenanigans

Lebron on the other hand.....lol

In his defense, he was stuck on that sh!tty Oklahoma City team for years

Other teams waited too late to acquire him

He had his chance with Durant & Harden that year they lost to the Heat in 6 games while they were up 2-0 to start the series.

 

[Wagerallsports]

Yep they all 3 did

Durant hasn't won sh!t without Steph & co

Books should just void the wagers if the league is recinding a play that involves speculative scoring by rule defined "intent".

 

[BobbyFK]

He should have passed it to someone else who could have missed and then he gets the rebound

Class action lawsuit as the NBA is in collusion with their sponsor book. Heaven forbid 2 guys use the same ip to login and then be banned for collusion.

Yeah its tough I still have and watch NBA league pass though. I bet on all sports and I like to watch basketball so I still watch the NBA even though College basketball is by far my favorite of the two.

I agree with you & much better to wager on.
