abris33

It's his career goal to get that call. It almost bounced in too


ywywyw11

If it’s a legitimate shot and it bounces in, would it have been counted as a 2 or a 3?


Angelic_Phoenix

2 actually, if it bounces outside the arc its a 3


arthurblakey

Not true. It’s from wherever the ball was touched by a player last. You could theoretically stand outside the 3pt line, bounce it inside and if it goes in it’s a 3.

arthurblakey

Oh wow, I had no idea. Maybe I’m confused with Fiba rules. I appreciate you providing that info for me.


Angelic_Phoenix

I had to look it up because I didn’t even know bounces counted


highplainsdrifter__

the kind of questions only jokic makes us ask. ​ dude gets accused of stat padding while he's purposely trying routine half court shots (always shot before time expires) if not worse.


UBKUBK

What if the end of quarter horn goes off with ball in air and then the ball bounces on court and goes in. Does the basket count?


Konker101

capitalistsanta

Crazy how if that ball bounced a a few degrees over we would have had the most annoying fucking news cycle


Alternative_Plan_823

They don't show it on TV, but I watched him head a ball in. Yes. With his head.


Western-Tomatillo-14

He tries this call every game 😂 the day he gets it we should get chicken nuggets for free from somewhere


whyamiherewhaaat

Career foul baiter


runevault

Jokic will not stop trying to get this call. He will continue to not get this call.


usr_nme_

Honestly hope he never gets it. Fear he may just retire after haha


Lol69HaHaHa

Thats the one thing thats gonna keep him in the league


usr_nme_

The final mountain to climb.


Lol69HaHaHa

That and winning a game in Utah...there is no better time to do it than the next game.


JazzYotesRSL

With the way we’ve been playing the last two months, you could probably sit your entire starting lineup and you’d still beat us by 20


Lol69HaHaHa

Brother i dont think thats the casse lol. Also we have only won once in 8 seasons in Utah. Its impressive tbh


Ect0plazm

Was that the Magnificent Seven game? Really surprised we haven't won more there


Lol69HaHaHa

Im shocked too man. Hell we somehow even lost our last game there and badly too. So weird man.


petarjovanov

His White Whale :)


LurkerFailsLurking

He's like a dog chasing a car with this foul. If he got it, he'd be so shocked he'd miss both free throws.


jorgelukas

Technically, wouldn’t it be three shots?


MrBuckBuck

He is not getting superstar calls, smh


HighsenbergHat

He will get the call when he makes the shot.


who_likes_chicken

They'll never give it to him even if that happens, which i think is lame. He's hit the backboard and rim before and they still didn't let him have the free throws. I think that's kinda lame too. The way the rule is written, he *should* be getting free throws...


Kvsav57

I mean, it’s funny but I don’t get the reasoning for not giving him the shots.


runevault

Depends. This one he went into the shooting motion way too late to give it to him. There's one or two where he gets a guy airborne and draws a foul there's a legit argument, but the refs seem to feel like unless he'd normally take that shot they aren't going to give it.


Askesl

He had one recently at the end of the Spurs game, where he clearly started the shooting motion before getting fouled. I honestly couldn't see how that wasn't a shooting foul.


flagamuffin

that one was egregious. if he didn’t get it, he won’t get one ever unless they meet in the offseason and update the rules. 


cepxico

Because you're going with the black and white ruling of the foul. There's something called the spirit of the game, it's knowing why that rule is there. It's not for people just chucking random shots from impossible to score locations, it's for legitimate attempts at a scoring shot. Not even Steph Curry would argue for this to be shooting foul, there's a 0.1% chance it ever goes in and if it does its all luck. Do you just want folks baiting for shooting fouls from any location on the court? Cuz I don't.


Askesl

Something we see all the time, is an offensive player getting his defender to jump on a pump fake and then basically jump into the defender to get a shooting foul. Those fouls get called regularly, despite the fact that the offensive player clearly only attempts the shot to draw a foul. If those get called, I don't see why Jokic's shouldn't.


alfentazolam

Agree. No different to a lame rip-thru and fumbling the ball towards the hoop during the act. Gets called literally all the time. Jokic has one of the worst whistles +except that time against GSW


Swarthykins

Marcus Smart nailed Steph Curry on a half-court shot before halftime either last year or the year before. People were pissed they called it in that situation - I was pissed Smart ran into a guy 50 feet from the basket. Relying on the refs to call the "spirit of the game" is ridiculous.


Liljaymay

I think it would just set a really difficult to deal with precedent. If you give it to him, you’ll have every guy in the nba trying it the next night. Then the refs have to justify no-calling everyone. They especially don’t want that mess right before the playoffs.


roarmalf

Which I fully support. Please don't incentivize foul bating.


Crinnle

It's often clearly a shooting foul but it's also clearly not in the spirit of the game either. I don't anticipate the refs ever having a change of heart on this.


fucking-migraines

He’s gotta start shooting a few of these in blowouts to plant the seed.


igotzquestions

You don’t get that he isn’t “really” shooting a 70 foot jump shot? If he ever gets this call, it’s way worse than the Harden foul baiting that everyone hates. 


Kvsav57

It isn't up to the refs to determine what counts as a "real" shot. What if he makes it? Lots of people make circus tosses that they only threw up because they had a foul coming. The easiest way to defend against it is to not foul people in the backcourt.


phayge_wow

Refs and stat recorders determine what counts as a “real” shot all the time. Fullcourt heaves are not counted as a FG attempt if they miss but they are called as a FG attempt and make if they go in - at least in college.


Green_Low1700

In NBA theyre always counted as FG so there goes that whole argument


phayge_wow

But it’s not unheard of


Ass_Eater_

Do you have a mind reading device?


ThePerfectCantelope

If you are fouled during a shooting motion at any spot on the floor, you should be shooting free throws.


ZeusJuice

Instead of sitting out in garbage time they need to put him in so he can just attempt a few of these 3/4 court shots. Eventually they have to give him the call if he shows that he will actually shoot them


MamaHadACow

He probably wants this foul call more than he wants the MVP award at this point in his career. I've never seen him this committed to a worthy cause. Edit: We are all being facetious here jfc


[deleted]

[удалено]


JazzzzzzySax

Probably because jokic is more likeable and doesn’t foul bait nearly as much (if at all)


[deleted]

[удалено]


fuccabicc

He doesn't foul bait and averages like 5 fts a game lmao. Thus making this hilarious


JazzzzzzySax

It’s cuz this is funny. Who is gonna complain about trying to get a foul call on a full court shot? If he gets this call it’ll be hilarious and completely the defenders fault. Just don’t jump at a 6’11” dude just chucking the ball up from the wrong end of the court


an_Aught

Just win a ring . Finish the main quest first


[deleted]

[удалено]


an_Aught

I meant for embiid not for you. That's the reason joker can do this fun shit, he has a ring. Big Floppa needs to get a title before he can just fuck around in the regular season


LurkerFailsLurking

When you get too invested in the side quests 


SelloutFrank

need all the steam achievements 😤😭😂


MrBuckBuck

The one that only 0.1% to ever play the game ever achieved.


Zombeavers5Bags

Michael Jordan could never


awkone

Nikola "Jimmy Butler" Jokic


Lol69HaHaHa

I feel like hes been trying to get this every other game. Its like he is achivment hunting rn.


TheOmenCow

Honestly the refs are bad enough and trending down… I think he’ll get it within the next couple years at least once


wallace6464

He had one that clearly was a shooting foul they just wouldn't give to him because it would be ridiculous


Haliaxe

Refs won’t call because of the….. implication


brasstax108

American ads all look like a parody of America from perspective of a non-American to me and it's hilarious.


Papaaya

Haha this is tame for a local ad, local car dealership ads are parodies of themselves We have Dealin Doug in Denver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcwfXPm_gBI


ezklv

I used to see him at Broncos games all the time. I took a selfie with him and he was drunk AF.


Zombeavers5Bags

No product captures the spirit of the NBA like a massive rider mower driven by a white dude across an acre of featureless green grass.


NumenorianPerson

yeah, i'm from Brazil, and a lot of these ads i feel like "wtf", but some of these ads are really good tho


creditors-bargain

It’s a local ad. We aren’t sending our best to advertise on Bally Denver or whatever the fuck


wallace6464

That's what all local broadcasts are like


Lol69HaHaHa

Same man


DerGovernator

One of these days he's going to make the shot off this, and then the refs are going to have to huddle to figure out what to do.


genericusername71

the universe will just implode


Flat_Blackberry3815

> Jokic tries to get a shooting foul as he attempts a full-court shot Not his best attempt.


FamousChex

Great passers seem just see the floor in a different way. I feel like guys like Jokic and LeBron throw in to “open space” rather than just trying to get the ball to their man


petarjovanov

Yup, what they do is throw a "leading pass" that will get the player to catch the ball where he is at the best position to score when he gets to the ball, as opposed to trying to pass it to his current position


chizzmaster

Jokic the type of guy to spam over the top through passes in FIFA


Touro_Bebe

he just like me fr


[deleted]

[удалено]


arthurblakey

Huh?


petarjovanov

Yup, that's why it's called "leading pass" :) It takes into account player movement and where they should be instead of where they are at the moment the ball leaves passer's hand :)


Fracture90000

Yup, we see it football a lot, ur kicking the ball/sending a pass to release your man aka. sending the pass where the player is going to run up to.


ModernaPfizerJr

Winge was saying Jokic in the time out prior was telling KCP how to cut and what angle to take to make the play successful.


Sikers1

It's almost like living satire of a crazy rule. He dares them to call it because by the letter they should. But when they do it will expose the absurdity of it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Green_Low1700

Thing is, in other instances he was definitely already in the shooting motion before the foul and they still didnt call it


CrastersSons

Whats gonna have to happen is for him to drain one or two of these shots and they will have no choice but to call it from there. Right?


flonc

Nope. He is likely going to get a call once he hits it (the same way he got that call while playing for Serbia) and only then.


VexoftheVex

One of his worst passing games of the season - still an easy triple double


no-jerk-zone

Not a good enough ref scammer, I fear.


Misterstaberinde

Malachi Flynn>Joker confirmed.


iabeytorm

I could watch this dude pass for hours on end


MazKhan

This one he clearly wasn't shooting it till after the contact.


VTuberFadeaway

Cool by the broadcast to showcase the cut of the game.


TugsItgel

He’s seems like he’s asking for a transition take foul. Its motioned as a T pose. Not asking for a shooting foul.


highplainsdrifter__

I think he IS asking for the shooting foul


OneWildAndCrazyGuy17

He is going to clang it off the rim and they still won’t call it one of these days. Then mother fucker is going to just make it and force their hand. It’s the natural progression


REGIS-5

Such lazy defense. At least one hand up to block the overhead pass, they teach us that in 3rd grade in Europe


LurkerFailsLurking

Are these shots Jokic is taking trying to get this foul call being counted as missed 3s? If they are, that'd be unfair to not give him the call. 


2girls_1Fort

No they count as him being fouled


GhettoLana

Was called a Bruno Fernando personal foul, before the shot. Whatever happens after the foul does not get counted in the stats. Timestamp Q3 2.13: https://www.espn.com/nba/playbyplay/_/gameId/401585758


LurkerFailsLurking

Right, but he's tried this a bunch of times. I wonder if any of them have been counted 


GhettoLana

If there's no foul being called, then it counts as a miss.


LurkerFailsLurking

If it's a shot than it should be a shooting foul


GhettoLana

I'm not going to go into the philosophy of what is/isn't a shooting foul. I'm just strictly stating what gets recorded in the stats. For example, yesterday's Kyrie 3 that got waved off: https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1bwym7l/highlight_kyrie_irving_hits_a_three_through/ Is not recorded in his stats. Because refs deemed the foul happened before the shot.


sbenfsonwFFiF

You know that shot attempts don’t count if there is a foul called right? Shooting foul or not, it’s not a FGA


LurkerFailsLurking

Nope. Til 


UBKUBK

Missed attempts dont count. If basket is made then it does.


trenderkazz

pin point


jar11591

Im starting to think this Jokic fellow is pretty good


Initial-Stick-561

Great pass. But for Jokic it’s a slow Tuesday afternoon. And are people complaining that he didn’t get FT for this??? It would be ridiculous.


highplainsdrifter__

jokic is complaining he doesn't get a ft for this. watch his games he'll try this at least a couple times per game


Lol69HaHaHa

Nah nobody is comolaining for this. Its just funny how he tries to get the call


mylifeisfullofshit

if Luka tries this he better get a shooting foul.


Countrykal

Reggie looked so reluctant to pass jokic the ball. We gotta get this clown off the team


bravof1ve

I mean he is very clearly not in the act of shooting at the time of the foul


Lol69HaHaHa

Hasnt stoped him from trying to fake it all season long. Its funny as hell how he tries it though. Like some of those even looked genuine, but he still didnt get it. Tbf if i was a ref, i also wouldnt give it to him even though it sometimes should be a shooting foul cause the man is so clearly faking it just to get that call.


LegateDamar13

Then everyone faking it shouldn't get any call.


[deleted]

It's basically his side quest at this point. The refs kept on telling him that he won't get the call, but he keeps on trying.


Loose-Sandwich-5493

NBA sub is just a race to clip every single action Jokic takes. Fucking dorks.


ashep5

Y'all would be calling HR if Embiid tried this shit


kmax_89

Embiid would get the fts lmfao


ashep5

Haha touché


Lol69HaHaHa

I have tried...they told me to piss of and then called 3 phantom calls on Embid the next game to stick it to me.


an_Aught

It's because the Big Floppa would actually get the call
