Not a foul.

strong as fk

meh, hes coming out away from the basket (not vertical) and creates a lot of body contact. Foul is probably the right call, though it was a pretty incredible play.

doesnt matter where he is coming from. only that when he decided to jump that he was on a vertical plane. That isn't a foul under the interpretation I'm familiar with. I know it has been updated but I dont think this is what the emphasis was focusing on...

Then it's not a block. Nice attempt, tho.

Honest to god I have no idea who he blocked. Had to look it up.

i hate it when people say this, it doesnt count as a block on the stat sheet but the ball is still live for an and one even if he fouls him. For all intents and purposes, in these cases those are blocks.

I don't think verticality would be applied like that in this situation. Do you mean to suggest that "The Block" by Tayshaun Prince on Reggie Miller was a foul? Prince was most certainly NOT jumping vertically on that play.

Oden gets all ball too.
