Come on, it was an obvious foul. Durant probably would've still finished the play if Okafor didn't hit his arm. It doesn't matter if Okafor made a contact with the ball at first, Durant was still palming it afterwards.

DURANT STILL HAS THE BALL AFTER OKAFOR GRAZES IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE TOUCHED THE BALL FIRST. HIS FOLLOW THROUGH AFTERWARDS WAS A COMPLETE FOUL.

LEARN NBA.

I get what you're saying, but I'm OK with letting this kind of play go in the defender's favour. If you want to get real technical, it would also be a shooting foul if Okafor got all ball with his hand, but made arm-to-arm contact with Durant while he still had possession of the ball. It's nearly impossible to get ONLY ball while it's still in the shooter's hand.

Its a hard call for a ref in the heat of the moment but you have slo mo replay showing contact with the ball before momentum created contact.

Dick Bavetta loves you though.

Just Cuz you're using caps doesn't make you right.

Those of you that says its a foul must be one of those annoying players who calls every touch fouls in the game. It was clearly a block, what happens after the block was caused by the momentum of KD. KD didn't even complain

Got him on the hand after so it was definitely a foul. No such thing as incidental contact.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. Both blocks in this thread are blocks. The contact in both is incidental.

Okafor got ball, Durant's momentum created the arm contact as he pushed through for the dunk. No foul


he didn't "get" the ball, he altered it at first and Durant was STILL palming it.

Instead of stopping it head on, he changed it's course of direction while Durant was still controlling it. His follow through was swatting it down on Durant's wrist..THAT part was a foul. It wouldn't have been a foul if Okafor kept his hands straight up in the air.

Ignore everything before the moment of the screenshot that i took. The sequence of events is: 1) ball in Durant's hands 2) Okafor hits Durant's wrists downwards and gets no ball

It doesn't get any simpler than that.


Here you go, since you seem to be leading the crusade of this being a foul.

1. Incidental Contact
The mere fact that contact occurs does not necessarily constitute a foul. Contact which is incidental to an effort by a player to play an opponent, reach a loose ball, or perform normal defensive or offensive movements, should not be consid-ered illegal. If, however, a player attempts to play an opponent from a position where he has no reasonable chance to perform without making contact with his opponent, the responsibility is on the player in this position.

The hand is considered "part of the ball" when it is in contact with the ball. Therefore, contact on that hand by a defender while it is in contact with the ball is not illegal.

This is incidental contact my friend - I've never known a human being to recoil his arm when it's halfway through a motion. It'd be incredibly difficult, and for one to expect this incidental contact to not occur needs to go speak to Sir Newton.
