The American power forward appeared to stomp on the Lithuanian center, but the 4x NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors commented after the game that the former Indiana Pacers big man grabbed his leg for the “second time in two nights”.
I get pushed, I’m falling on the floor, I’m just trying to protect myself”, the 26-year-old dominating center said before praising his opponent.
“What are you going to do when someone grabs your foot when you’re running full speed? That’s a dirty play, fully grabs your foot and yanks on you, that’s not cool, man.
Don’t be grabbing me because what am I gonna do? If I stay there and just try to run forward, I’ll fall.
