Definitely tripped over his own feet.

not sure if you're being serious there is no contact, all those years of soft NBA whistles really changed people's perspective

Honestly - you're right. I'm so used to that being a foul in the NBA it's shocking when it's not called here.

Yea.

At best the back of his jersey might have barely been grazed by the French player, but there was nowhere near enough extension/force done by the French player to have any impact on Wagner falling/stumbling though.

It's already 2am here, and this game is totally worth it. I hope USA and Serbia don't disappoint either.

Nah, it's a false narrative fueled by confirmation bias.

In 9 of 11 NBA seasons, his team was better when hws on the floor (+6.8 overall). In the last five playoffs in a row, his team has been better with him on the floor (+12.3).

Ya I know the numbers but it's still a fact that all his teams bench him on numerous occasions in hopes of playing better. Utah/Wolves/France have done it many times now. He's not a likeable player/person for whatever reason.
