I for one did not get the joke the first time, so this was much appreciated.

And back on topic of the video ... it seems like its intentional ... but from that far away, it would be easy to be fooled if the player fouled was exaggerating the contact.

Not sure why that wasn't an intentional to be frank.

It certainly could have been but I guess it was missing the element of stopping an an opponent in an obviously advantageous position. It isn't like the fouled player was looking at an open shot.

Yeah, I get that. But intentionally grabbing a player's ankle isn't basketball, and it's certainly a safety risk. This play is an intentional for me (I won't say "in my game") 10 times out of 10.

Once I've seen the play ten times, I'll worry about what to do the eleventh.

I don't disagree, just offering a reason some may not call an intentional.
