Mr. Duncan, don't you think your existing ties to the auto industry in San Antonio are a potential conflict of interest?

I don't think DJ is hitting it all that hard, and that is a pretty universal action you take when someone is grabbing your jersey in Basketball, Soccer, Football, Rugby, etc etc. Right or wrong.

Source: I hold jerseys a ton and have gotten my arm whacked a ton.

Hitting his arm is a natural reaction, grabbing his wrist and specifically hitting the joint is hosed up.

The Rockets last year barely had an effective starting unit, their bench was total trash, they lost a star player in Dwight Howard in the offseason, and yet somehow they now have an extremely effective 10 man regular season rotation this year. I don't understand it either.

Dwight Howard was never a star, more like a salary cap weight.

I can't view the video you posted, but I immediately had a similar reaction - the GIF is a slow motion clip, those things always look much worse than real time. It was just a run of the mill smack on the arm, meant to send the message to Jokic not to grab his jersey, a play that happens all the time. Slowing the clip down gives you, the viewer, alot of time to think about and analyze the play as it happens, and you naturally assume the player is thinking about it too, that DeAndre is lining up Jokic's joint for a crippling blow or something, when in fact it happened in a split second and neither player was really thinking about it as it happened. Jokic grabbed at his jersey, Deandre knocked his arm away. Pretty simple.
