marcin gortat thought there was a chair for him to sit on LOL

[benggaravena]

If he shoot that ball! That's fucking awesome.

[AwezomCp]

He friggin tripped on his teammates foot

[lchigoat]

meanwhile in the background u can see reggie jackson fall on his ass while attempting a putback dunk lol

[xavdervish]

I actually thought Thabo would finish the shot...

[sambo]

For all the people saying gortat/drose tripped it wasn't a cross over

anytime your guarding someone and you end up on the floor and they end up with an open jump shot you failed ur job as a defender. Secondly did u see the norris cole cross over on drose..Norris cole crossed him so bad he had drose going the opposite direction of where norris cole was going and that is why he tripped over Chris Anderson. Here we see the same exact thing Sefolosha  steps back on the crossover and instead of gortat moving forward and following the ball handler like a defender is supposed to do he moves in the opposite direction because he is off balance and as a result steps on his teammates foot and falls. It would have been a completely different story if gortat followed his defender in the right direction and a teamate got on his way and then he tripped.

So therefore if it wasn't for the cross over neither drose or gortat would've of tripped yes the tripping over defenders/teammates helped but it was the crossover that got them off balance in the first place

When cole did this to rose people were saying that he was tripped. But here people are saying he broke his ankle when really he stepped on the foot of the person behind him.

[BenSpies]

i think he touched his knee on the other guy's leg and caused him to lose balance....either way nice moves

[daprinceofhiphop]

Gortat just got the d.rose treatment lmao

[minge]

Million dollar move with a 10 cent finish.

[someguywithayoutubeaccount]

Pause around ten seconds, he steps on his teammates foot, never gets to plant his heel(because it's on his foot) then his teammate is in the motion of pulling his foot away, turning Gortat's foot while his toes were barely on the floor as he was about to jump. Your legs give out on you when stuff like that happens. That's why he fell.

For a second I thought he was going to finish his season.

Gotta love NBA commentators... Broke his ankle = Tripped by teammate.  Fast break dunk = Travel.  "BIGNAME" gets a facial = A guy dunked and someone well known was near him

[novalaser]

Dre baldwin would say that this shouldn't be a highlight because he didn't make the basket

[rtlee]

finally an ankle breaker where they miss the shot!

[TheThebiged]

He got so caught up on it he missed it

[jiggaman]

"I got crossed, by Thabo Sefolosha..."

[cp_sphinx]

Oh shit my native is gonna get on Shaqtin a Fool!

[cubarhea]

he didnt even trip... look closely he got rocked.

[DRosar]

he clearly didnt trip. this is just like the d rose ankle breaker. the only reason why people are saying that is because the dont want a player they like to look bad.
