The Golden State Warriors‘ fanbase is not the first one to be frustrated with Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

They’re just the latest, after SGA craftily drew a foul call against Jonathan Kuminga on Tuesday night.

Before going any further, here’s the play in question:

There are a couple of ways of looking at this, only one of which will appease Warriors fans.

Yes, Shai basically made the whole thing happen. For those who say he “foul baits,” that’s conceptually what this was. He found a way to draw a foul and drew it.

Except, well, it was a foul.

Kuminga had his arm across SGA’s torso, and the superstar knew how to take advantage of that.

Getting fouled and going to the line is a skill. SGA possesses it as well as anyone.

If Kuminga didn’t want to commit this foul, he could’ve not placed his arm across Gilgeous-Alexander in the way he did.

SGA is hard to guard, yes, so defenders try different tactics to get it done.

But one like this was always going to lead to a foul. It’s just the way it works.
