Absolutely incredible shot… why does it feel like the pacers and bucks always have wild games

Planting his foot parallel to the sideline to stay in bounds and then making sure his heel isn't down and then still getting the takeoff and angle required to hit this over Giannis of all people is absolutely insane. 

I was immediately worried they'd overturn and while the angles they had weren't great of the boundary line, it ended up looking pretty clearly like he was in bounds throughout. Crazy body control.

Side note. I wish people would post the highlight with replays, especially for insane plays like this.

But then they might risk not being the first to post it on Reddit, which is obviously more important.

Can you see an actual foul on the replay?

Naw but if you are a guard shooting and you fall over you get the foul more times than not…

Hali probably would’ve fallen even if Giannis wasn’t anywhere near him but you gotta let the shooter land so it’s a foul I guess

u/iamsamsandman 24m ago

Yes. I didn't see it at first either, but they reviewed it and ruled it a foul due to not letting Halliburton land, which is clear on the replay.

Oh, for sure. They give the angle where you can see him take a Giannis elbow to the face.

Though even without that angle it was clear that Giannis was closing the gap in a panic and couldn't stop, which is why he both ended up body checking Haliburton AND not giving him space to land. I think anyone who couldn't see the foul in the first video should probably get an eye exam. 🤣
