I've worked with a lot of broadcast crews. Most of them don't understand why they still do them.

This reporter in particular though... why the hell would you ask about their feelings regarding Hali's injury? They could at least come up with better questions than this.



I really don’t see the point though. Who benefits from this?? Sponsors in any way? I dunno

He grabs TJ’s wrist right in front of the ref and holds onto it for seconds, no foul. LOL

These Pacers players are really tough, hanging around and still competing, not focused on Hali's horrific injury. They deserve a ton of respect.

Yeah anyone but OKC fans, are all rooting for Pacers by now. This is true underdog story after that horrific injury.


Pacers have no chill tho, they absolute diehard mofos attitude wise, so they have a chance with that mindset they had all playoffs.

Wonder if starting that way on fire gave him some extra confidence and he instinctively planted hard like he normally would rather than being more cautious if he was thinking about the injury. KD was cooking as well before he tore his in a similar manner.
