I could possibly see judging this a no-call, but a block is just the wrong call.
The ONLY thing that is even close is whether the defender had established his position before the shooter left the ground since there is significant hang time here...watching it on video it is pretty clear to me that this is PC, but real time, floor level angle....who am I kidding they blew this one, been there!
