Judging the play by itself I've got nothing...blow the play dead, let them separate, a friendly reminder that he can hang on to the rim to protect himself, move on.

Now if there were events prior to this that needed addressing (game becoming chippy, players talked to prior, ect.) I could easily see this being a T.

I probably would T up Rondo in this case. He clearly tried to land on player on the other team. I am surprised the restraint the defender showed in that situation. Rondo is lucky he was not in a neck brace.

Peace

+1 He is also lucky his opponent wasn't Pre-2011 Ron Artest.

Time to brew up a kettle.

+1. T should have been served...might even have been flagrant. Looked like a pretty deliberate act to humiliate defender that could have exploded if the defender was more of a hothead.

The defender may have been laughing during that last playoff series.

Agreed....Rondo pulled himself up on the rim and swung onto the defenders shoulders....*WHACK!

How in the world is this not a T??? Rondo hung there, and then swung himself up and over to land on the guy's shoulders. Even in a "friendly" All-Star type game, that needs to be T'd.

Whack.

Whack-o-la

What about the basket?
 

Technically he was still an airborne shooter...

And that means what?

Peace

It seems you could call this a player control foul and take the basket away. But now I have to go read the rules- I assume you could not do both (call a technical and take the basket away).

If an airborne shooter commits a common foul the basket does not count. But if they commit a technical, the basket does count?

All I have to say is........
