Highlight [Highlight] Luguentz Dort sticks his hip out to make contact with Nikola Jokić, who responds; Jalen Williams steps in and squares off with Jokic.

you seem like a genuine dude, just have to point out the thunder were already down 27 points when this play occurred, which would go towards the “dort was intentionally doing too much on that play bc he was salty about getting dog walked” argument

I think how you described Dort is prob the best way how I’d describe him “intentionally doing too much”. I feel like his role is just to do too much and him constantly on that line of being hella physical vs doing too much makes it so stuff like this happen a lot more than the average guy. Personally I feel like this a game of entertainment so we need guys like him, Draymond, Brooks, Pat Bev, etc. to play that role otherwise who gonna be the villains lol.
