No Foul!

This kid in 7'5" 310 lbs. I need to see more than that to call a foul on that play. The contact had no effect on the shot. It was like a gnat landing on an elephant! This kid can play through a lot and I'm going to let him. I'm not going to let the defense do whatever they want or get too physical, but that was definitely not a foul. Neither was the other one called later in the video.
