Ant said after the game he dislocated his finger. But he played the rest of the game - played better after that, to be honest.

He was shown the dunk after the game, and called it the best dunk of his career.

Johnson’s dunk over Reaves was better cause Reaves got destroyed more than Collins did.

Collins staggered to the locker room, and did not return to the game after the Ant dunk.

Dunk of the year my butt. Clear offensive foul by smacking John Collin’s face with his off hand. Worse than when the Internet exploded when Blake Griffin did an over the back foul on Pau Gasol.

Deserved injury and I don’t even like the Jazz.
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.

Where’s Joel Embiid?

Because Ant dirtily kicked him in the side right after the dunk.

How many times should the offense get rewarded for clear arm bars for highlights. Washed old stars or young players growing into their prime getting bailed out on offense but when the defense closes incorrectly refs give flagrants.

I remember yesterday you called Anthony Davis “street clothes” in his healthiest season, and it makes me wonder .. do you troll like this because your parents don’t give you enough attention at home?

How in the world am I a troll? He is known as street clothes because he is always injured, a lot of people call him street clothes, so don’t assume crap. Thank you.

Personally I find Day2Davis a much better moniker for AD. And, healty season aside, he's earned these nicknames.

I'm not cape-ing for the poster but I found your reasoning for chastising him to be faulty.

I’m not a Hawks fan, I’m a Magic fan and both players were clearly injured which even furthers my point. If that was Collin Sexton getting dunked on I would be saying the same thing.

Hawks fans are right cause Jalen Johnson had the better dunk of the night.

Eh, just watched this like 20 times in slow mo and it looks like pretty marginal contact and just the type of thing that's going to happen when you challenge a vicious dunker going full speed. If you look at the angle of the play from the basket (last 6 seconds of OP's first video) you can see that hand is near Collins shoulder for most of the dunk and the contact between the two of them. It maybe, maybe grazes his face but it honestly looks to me like Ant attacks by sort of pressing himself against Collins' shoulder.

I agree the arm bar has gotten a little out of control but I don't think this play is the one to build the crusade around.

Looked pretty sick in real time.

If you set the playback speed to 0.25 you see what really happened. 100% offensive foul.

Wait are Hawks fans mad that this is upstaging the Jalen Johnson dunk (which was a pretty clear offensive foul)??

How petty can you get.. :lol:
