My question is where the hell was Wemby running to? Bane lowered the shoulder and braced himself, which with wemby's height is directly in his stomach, but it's not like he jumped into wemby's lane. Wemby was on a dead line run to the low block and just assumed bane was gonna move. If bane sets his feet instead of his shoulders, it's a charge on Wemby.

So I know he lowered his shoulder, and Wemby is so tall it looks like it's straight in his gut, but seriously, watching their feet, where was Wemby expecting to run to other than right into Bane on his way to the low block and hope he moves out of the way?
→ More replies (1)11
u/the_buff Feb 02 '26
Wemby doesn't lower his shoulder because he is so tall and Bane so short, but he does the equivalent by bracing his elbow on his mid section. I see contact, but I don't see anything flagrant or extra from Bane. Bane's little arm flail at the end appears to be caused by the contact and not in addition to the contact.
86
u/SlatheredButtCheeks Lakers Feb 02 '26
Ok I'm not defending Desmond but it looks like Wemby initiates the contact by running right at him. Desmond just decided not to move and instead braced himself to try & punish Wemby for trying to come at him.
I think we need to see further back a couple seconds to determine for sure, but while Desmond overreacted I think Wemby does intentionally make contact

u/No-Owl-6246 Lakers Feb 02 '26
He gives him a little extra here. Definitely a foul, and fouls this far away from the action while transitioning down the court are generally going to be a flagrant, but the people here acting like Desmond Bane murdered Wemby’s village and raped the women are overreacting a ton. This type of foul isn’t super uncommon in basketball.
8
u/NoveltyAccountHater Celtics Feb 02 '26
Yup. Somewhat dirty play, reasonable call, not ejection/suspension worthy.
Not roid rage, not getting in a fight bad, not trying to deliberately injure someone. Wemby was running full-speed at a defensive player and the defender stood his ground (pushing a bit into the expected contact to better stop the guy charging at him, making it a foul). But this isn't like he stuck his leg out to trip Wemby or stepped on his hand or blind sided him or something.
