“It is clear that the great contradiction in free throwing. [Brunson] He suffers from stumbling, is not called. I really don't give foolishness how they call the game, as long as it is consistent on both sides. if [Cade] Cunningham is driving and there is a marginal connection as it reaches the line, then Jalen deserves access to the line. It is really simple. “
