Why Wembanyama's Block Was the Right No-Call (A Referee Breaks It Down)

This is one of the cleanest no-calls you'll see, and I think it gets overlooked because the arm contact is so visible on the broadcast angle.⁣

What Chip and I break down here is the sequence that matters: Wemby gets his fingertips to the ball and dislodges it BEFORE any arm contact occurs. Once the ball is already loose, that contact becomes marginal by rule. The officials got this exactly right.⁣

What's even more impressive to me is that the refs processed this in real time. That's elite officiating on one of the hardest plays in basketball to judge. #shorts
