Jayson Tatum picked up a technical foul against the Orlando Magic on Friday, and NBA fans didn’t seem to agree with the call.
Tatum didn’t agree, either.
The Celtics superstar forward received the technical for hanging on the rim after a dunk late in the second quarter. The NBA recently made it a rule that players cannot hang on or pull themselves up on the rim, “unless they are doing so to avoid injury to themselves or another player.”
There are certainly times when hanging on the rim becomes unsportsmanlike, as the NBA pointed out in its video analysis of the rule.
