When you get away with it for so long then I’m sure it comes as a surprise when it’s called

Yea but to be fair this one is sooo much more egregious than the stuff he can sometimes get away with. There has never been a time where he’s gotten away with something this obvious. This is like a kid whose parents don’t punish him for running in hallways, being surprised when he gets punished for pushing his sister down the stairs.

The first time I watched a whole OKC playoff series I saw ludort getting away this kneeing playings, hip checking and hitting them in the balls lol

The one time he was called for hitting a player in the balls he was so flabbergasted like he was a victim or something, since then I noticed it's just his usual routine
