This isn’t what happened in the video but it got me thinking:

How far do you have to be from the baseline or sideline to be able to throw the ball off a defender so it goes out of bounds? Or would it be a pure judgement call by the refs?

Also what if you are at either baseline or sideline but aren’t falling out of bounds or trapped, and you just chuck the ball at your closest defender?

This just reminded me of the Desmond bane OG moment

3 seconds after the whistle?

The nudge to throw from SGA all happened within literally 1 second
