NBA refereeing is causing a lot of talk this season as usual, with sometimes controversial decisions. For example, we can mention the ejection of Giannis Antetokounmpo against Detroit. Friday evening, an action against Victor Wembanyama was singled out.
The NBA has resumed for a few weeks now, and we didn’t have to wait long to see criticism of the refereeing. It must be said that some officials have managed to get noticed in the wrong way, like during this unjustified ejection against Giannis Antetokounmpo. Even LeBron James had raised his voice. This Friday, a foul called against Victor Wembanyama provoked quite a few reactions.
The whistle against Wembanyama which does not pass
In question ? Contact with Mike Conley, who managed to get the foul and two free throws in stride. A problem for Internet users since the leader initiates the contact and is not shooting at the time of the “fault”. Wemby’s defense is actually pretty good, especially since he gets the counter regularly. Except for the referees.
Im generally annoyed with where officiating is at in the NBA, but this specific call is the one I hate the most.
Guard makes a hard drive, defender slides feet and there is mild contact, guard throws up some BS and gets 2 points for it: pic.twitter.com/1u8PO2lAB4

“I’m really annoyed with NBA officiating, but this whistle is the one I hate the most. The guard tries the hard drive, the defender slides his feet and there is contact at mid-height, the guard throws his arms and gets two points for that.
It is already difficult to call a foul on such an action, but even more difficult to give two shots for it if you follow the rules of the NBA. In the comments, many did not hesitate to criticize this move.”

When we say that Victor Wembanyama has to get used to the NBA, that’s what we think of. He cannot defend in the same way, the fault of a rather curious refereeing on certain sequences. Enough to annoy many people.
