How about an NBA owner??

​@@jaywyte7218 If you sittin in the stands, you not a player. Only players get to hold the ball, not spectators.

@@nickhewes6860 he owns the arena. Lol. He's not a fan.

@@jaywyte7218 So that gives him the right to interfere with the game and touch players? No. He's the owner of the Suns, a franchise in the NBA. He doesn't own the NBA, there are still rules and regulations owners have to follow. Not interfering with games is included.

​@@jaywyte7218 The arena like most are paid for by the tax payers from the area. The owner of a basketball team should be up in a box and away from floor. Cuban's antics were a distraction while this guy seems like the flaunting type. He was holding onto the ball and Jokic was looking to make the fast ball in for a break on offense. Outside of an incident like this, the NBA playoffs are terrible.

Damn lmao

wrong guy. That was the old owner, this is the new one.

I agree. I didn't even understand why everyone was talking about suspension in the first place. This has been one of the most entertaining postseasons in NBA history and we the fans will not be denied!

They don’t got like jalapeños or anything just pickles??? I feel for y’all bro😂

With that hard hot dog bun, the soda is flat, and the chips are stale lol

​@@Irishgunner414 does your wife let you watch when her BF comes over, or do you just make him breakfast in the morning before he leaves?

agreed. dont let owners of the team sit in front court in the playoffs at least

The fact that it was the owner the Suns should be starting game 5 with a Tech, but the league hates Jokic so that won't happen and he's the only one punished. Somehow. At first glance it's whatever he grabs the ball and holds it, yeah ok. He stopped what would've been an easy 2 points as Okogie was out of the play and Jokic would've gone for a quick inbound.

@@sammyhonerd677 agreed

Talk about a bad take.

He could have bought a new Toyota Corolla with that

@@sammyhonerd677 Yes. He did that by delaying the game.

He changed to where the game was going, nuggets were building a difference

Exactly, miss the fast change, got a tech. Change in momentum. In a game decided by under 10pts, that's huge

Wtf was y'all looking at

The most important question that no one is asking by the way! 😂 They changed mostly everything to fit time constraints, a delay of game should have been called!!!!

😂

Dick Jeff is worthless!!

I do like Rj

The titles of espn videos are done by a drama queen

Yeah jump on ESPN is corny

😂😂😂

That would be hilarious

It's a dead ball dummy. You can't inbound it until the ref gets there and hands it off to a player. He (the ref) was literally walking over when jokic ran by him to grab at the ball. NOTHING jokic did would have sped up the process.

@@sirosis7858 you know more than Jokic that's actually playing?? Gtfoh. When Jokic gets the ball he could give it to the ref and the ball could be inbounded much earlier than if the ref were to slowly get the ball. Jokic's aim is to keep the pace going.

I’d sue the owner for 250k just cause plus the money for the fine

@@Por-poI Christ you people are not only delusional you're crazy ignorant of the game. The ref wasn't even there yet. You can watch the video and see jokic run by the nearest official and paw at the ball held by the fan who isn't even looking at him. You can't inbound a dead ball without the referee handing it to you first. The ref was walking over to make sure the player was extricated and to get the ball from wherever it went out of bounds. THATS HIS JOB. Nothing jokic was trying to do would have ever sped up that process. Jokic was clearly rattled and made a mental mistake, something all players do at some point. The fan did nothing wrong, thus the NBA didn't fine him (as the owner) or even remove him. The guy's sitting there, a loose ball comes flying into his lap, he holds it, stands up to look at the player who literally fell right next to him, and suddenly joker who he never looked at once, is pawing at the ball and knocking it out of his hand. Zero fan affect on the game. In fact, if anything Jokic could have been immediately kicked out of the game for going into the stands which the rules state begin at the first row of seats. Jokic had no reason to run over there. No reason for any of this to happen. Dead ball. You can't inbound until the ref gets there anyways. Are you even aware of the difference between a dead ball and a live ball? Because its obvious none of you have played or coached when you think there's no difference between an out of bounds ball (a dead ball) and a ball being inbounded after a made shot or free throw (live ball).

@@sirosis7858 This is what I have been saying for the last few days

It is a very terrible decision

The owner should pay his fine

In reality, best way to make it right is to send the Suns packing for Cancun

They don't like Jokic, so "F him"...

​@@darrengordon-hill exactly, Embiid would get next year's MVP in advance if it happened to him

it's ridiculous. you're not allowed to grab the ball and keep it.

Not only that he threw it in the air while he flopped where another fan gave it back like the owner should have done.

This is the same league that is tossing fans for saying mean things to players. Owner or not, if he’s not wearing a jersey, he’s a fan.

Both are at fault. I know what jokic was trying to do by bringing the ball in fast to have offensive advantage, but jokic would have to have the official give him the ball first before he could bring the ball in. The official would not do that with a competing player in the middle of fans.

​@@cassidycordeiro9080 I think he definitely didn't expect all of this because usually fans hand the ball back, players give to ref, ref passes back. Owner thinks he gets to abuse his power in his stadium. I'm certain we're going to hear about his scandals soon enough - it's obvious he thinks he's above the rules that others follow.

Hardly something to dismiss an owner over 🤡

They just need to ban him!!!

​@@BlakaveliX NBA banned Warriors Minority owner for 1 yr and 500k in 2019 for interfering with Lowry on the sidelines so the league had done it. The rule should be clear, if you interfere, hold the ball, play keep away with it you forfeit the right to sit court side.

@@BlakaveliX He influenced a game. If he doesn't hold onto the ball and gives it up to either the ref or player (as you're literally meant to do when courtside otherwise you face a life time ban) Jokic would've gone for a quick inbound which would've likely led to an easy 2 points as Okogie was still trying to get up and get settled.

Mark Cuban would have been fined.

Because Jokic is essentially always in the right when you get to the bottom of it.

He's objective tho. Everyone who ever played basketball hates when in a heat of the momentum ball is kept away so that team that has momentum loses it and Susm owner kept the ball on purpose. He should not have done it!

It’s because he used to be jokic lmao

What? No he didn't. Maybe you're being sarcastic...he made it about himself and implied he would have been suspended.

@@JohnyMcNeal he took a dive too what a pssy

I'm a suns fan and i would have been upset if he got suspended. On the other hand, Amare stoudemire got suspended for way less in 2007. Would have been sort of poetic

*laughs in 2007 suns losing their #1 scorer and #1 bench guy in the middle of the playoffs for doing nothing more than standing up for a better view and handing the series to their opponents*

Hes done

Suspend him for what exactly? 😂 It’s crazy that the narratives are so different for white and black players. If this was Draymond, everyone would be defending him.

​@@AkshayKumar-fj3ks Thats just not true, if it was Draymond everyone would be saying that hes always been dirty

old school professionalism and modern open-mindedness/humor, everyone his age should aspire to be like EJ

@@timgimmy609 Spot on!

Keeps the show balanced on both ends. This is the best team on TV

I respected Kenny, but not on this one. How are you speculating negatively concerning Draymond? But so understanding of Jokic... actually, Draymond would have gotten ejected and fines assessed immediately. If we wanna go by history. The fine was a clean-up measure... (correct decision) I love Tnt's energy, but we must stop co signing negative views/ stereotypes / pre- conceived programming of African Americans... It was simply a bad decision on Jokic, It affected an innocent fan, also... we must stop double talking... don't need to be angry, just truthful. Let's clean up the programming and conditioning we received, African Americans. We are Endowned by Our Creator with the rights and responsibilities.❤

He always does. This is the only segment I care about what they have to say.

@@karimamin2 fans already give the Suns the Budweiser treatment. They’re just getting fans now 😭

@Thomas Cavanaugh yet all this bullshit you just said is completely opposite to the NBA rules

@@TargetNSA Well, I''m not sure which NBA you're talking about, but here's the bullshit rule. (( The NBA Rule Book states: “Any coach, player or trainer who deliberately enters the spectator stands during the game will be automatically ejected and the incident reported by e-mail to Basketball Operations. … The first row of seats is considered the beginning of the stands)) ....... Also, everyone knows that if the ball goes into the stands, whether it be the first row, fourth row or 10th row, the clock stops and the play is dead until both teams are ready and the ref hands the ball to the player and blows his whistle for the clock to restart, so the owner of the Suns did nothing wrong of holding the ball and delaying the game. Those are the rules. If you don't like them, oh well.

It's amazing how people in this thread have an opinion and have zero clue about the rules. It's very easy to look up what they are. Instead you spout off all this BS opinions and not have a clue what you're talking about.

Yes, they would have fined Joker regardless of who the fan was. NBA rules state that he should have been suspended as well.

Learn the rules. Play was dead, didn't matter. The ball could land in his hands or land 10 rows up. Clock stops, play is dead until both teams are ready to start action again. Teams may even substitue players during a stoppage in play. Once both teams are then ready, Only then does the ref hand the ball to the player to take out of bounds and start the clock again. Now if the ball " DOESN'T LAND IN THE AUDIENCE" and one of the opposng players lands out of bounds like in this instance, the other teams player Joker, may grab the ball and inbound the ball for the 5 on 4 break. BUT IF THE BALL LANDS IN THE AUDIENCE OR THE FANS, 1ST ROW, 5TH ROW, 10TH ROW, DOESN'T MATTER, IT'S A DEAD BALL, CLOCK STOPS. There is also a rule that a player, coach, anyone on the bench are NOT allowed to go into the fans seating for any reason. ESPECIALLY GO INTO THE FANS SEATING ON A DEAD BALL AND TRY TO RIP THE BALL OUT OF A FANS HANDS AND PUSH THEM DOWN. If this would have been a regular season game, Joker would have been suspended a game but the Suns owner made it known that he didn't want that so the league obliged.

There would not have been a fast break. Jokic would still have to hand the ball to the referee and the referee was not going to give it back to begin play with a player stuck in the stands.

😂😂

That should be part of the home court advantage.😂

They should take charges on fastbreaks when the opposing team is about to layup/dunk

Bro Embiid would be declared MVP for 2024 and 2025. Dpoy too if he cries more

shut up

Good call dude...and Embiid would have fallen over.

Umm😊

Adam Silver works for the owners

yeah definitely should have fined him too. 100%

​@@gomerpyle7721 he's desperate to be liked by everyone. Needs to be harder with Bishbi, Ja etc

wrong guy, last owner traded for CP3, this owner traded for Durant.

​@@VonDelacroix fair, probably part of Bit**Bis induction training - how to get unfair advantages by flopping

Hate to tell you, when one perceives acts diffently based on who committed the act, and not the act alone, it's a basis... many people, if not all, are programmed like Pavlov dogs. To deny it doesn't make it disappear. Awareness and self correcting our thoughts and actions when we act out of bias is how we change the ugly reality. No hate, just truth.

and shaq is too afraid to say it " what if he was black?"

@@kareemi7080 naah it’s not race. If that was Donnavan Mitchel guarantee he’s not suspended. Draymond’s first NBA points came with a TEC lmao (look it up) . Bro shouldn’t even have been fined tbh

He only loves holding big balls apparently. Should apply to be Shaq's masseuse.

Next time can he ko the guy and pay a 200K fine. Well deserved.

$62 for a petty fine is still a lot for someone who makes 100k (coming from someone who makes $120k a year) @gnomechomsky2524

$25,000 buys a lot more than $62.50

Now do for those who make far less than $100K. Er, asking for a friend.

@@JeffThePoustman lol. Take whatever your ‘friend’s income is, divide it by 100, then multiply that by $62.50

Only mentally handicapped people are for a suspension

Yeah because he’s not named Jokic or Curry

Brooks would have been tarred then shot!

Green should have been suspended when he kicked adams balls

honestly he deserves it sometimes with the bullshit he pulls.

draymond would have punched him like his name was jordan

Not just owners, celebrities. Shannon Sharpe should’ve been tossed that one time too.

​@@BijinMCMXC at least Shannon was just arguing with the "Grizzlies". This guy was holding the ball and refusing to give it back

@@Abhi_B If any regular fan did what Shannon did they would’ve got tossed.

He was born into ultra wealth. And those types never think rules apply to them.

He didn't say it was. Are you not listening?

@@Kevin51611 i listened and he most def did. if his intentions were otherwise he did a horrible job of expressing his point.

@@TDCLOL He was clearly saying that guys like Draymond have a history of reckless/careless behavior on the court, and that Jokic doesn't. So he wouldn't face the same criticism. Got it?

Shaq absolutely was getting at if he was black. He would not have been given the benefit of the doubt and flopping or not he would have been vilified.

@@Kevin51611 Jokic has a history of hard fouls in the playoffs, dude. He almost took Cam Payne’s nose off and he almost paralyzed one of the Morris twins. Shaq was trying to make it about race and Kenny and Charles weren’t having it

That's odd you say that. Suns were called for 24 fouls and the Nuggets 19 in game 4. In fact, the whole series the fouls favored the Nuggets. Game 1- Equal, 19 each,,,,,, Game two - 25-16, Advantage Nuggets,,,,,,,, Game 3 - 24-21, advantage Nuggetts,,,,,,,,,,, Game 4 - 24-19, advantage Nuggetts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Game 5- 22-17, advantage Nuggetts,,,,,,,,,,, Game 6 Equal, 22 each. So explain to me how there was flagrant abuse and ticky tack fouls called on Denver in game 4??

100K and a series 😂😂😂

Poor Draymond. Such a victim 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

no one really cares if draymond missed a playoff series...even the warriors don't care.

But if it's just Shaq and Barkley they'd literally be arguing non-stop on every topic for 30 mins.

@@syb7605 true but that’s literally what makes a great show.

Hes right he would have been suspended

Man you just said a whole lot of nothing. Him mentioning himself in this scenario makes sense him and Chuck were known to be very physical in their day much like draymond. It’s crazy that you bring up that it shouldn’t matter who it is when that is the exact point shaq is attempting to make. The nba is notorious for not dealing out punishments equally and suspending a player for something another player would simply get fined for.

Any black player would have been suspended for shoving a owner. Ya’ll are uncomfortable and don’t want to admit it but no way they are given the benefit of the doubt.

​@@SaharaKnows why was Russel Westbrook not fined for confronting a phoenix fan in the fan lounge area? Did he get the benefit of the doubt because the fan was white? Double Standard?
