Penda bounces the ball back onto Joel, who had a hard fall. VJ immediately steps in

1. Did he get a tech for this?

2. Looking forward to every NBA social media going crazy telling me that this is a flop and not a foul, fucking delusional lol

3. I love that his first tech was for backing up his teammate

4. I didn’t think I could love VJ even more, but here we are.

5. That fan laughing about it is a dork. Idk why idiots think he’d fall that hard on purpose. Legitimately morons who have never done anything athletic in their life.

6. VJ just has the right mentality from day 1

7. Joel still doing those dumb ass fall downs I see 🙄
   This guy will never learn that playing like that (especially at this age) is a recipe for how injury laden his career has been

8. Even back at the start of the process, I never foresaw possibly loving a team as much as i love this team.

9. Penda trying to act hard after the foul is kinda cracking me up lol, bum behavior, enjoy being a career 8th man

10. Hard foul??? The NBA is soft

11. VJ, my king.

12. I’ve never wanted to buy a jersey before now.

13. Man I wish Penda would have… VJ got that dawg in him he dont want to see what them hands would feel like!

14. Leader

15. Bane wasn’t even holding VJ back. He knew that it was a cheap move.

16. why are people acting like this is a flop. joel leaves the ground for .1 seconds and this guy jumps and throws his whole body into him. I’m sure you guys in these comments would tank a 200 pound man jumping into you and body checking you.

17. VJ really knows how to have his teammates’ backs. That kind of energy is what we need to keep building our chemistry.

18. I’ve seen enough, build his statue
