Dunno, surely Giannis has a general idea of where Kyrie is and where his legs are thus has an idea of where his feet are coming down. And I see Giannis extending the leg: I don't need to look at my own feet to know where I'm putting them.

Whatever man, I don't like it but what can I do about it? Nothing.

Yes, Giannis has a general idea of where Kyrie is. But how is he supposed to know exactly where Kyrie's legs are when Kyrie is 1) behind his right shoulder 2) where Giannis can't see him while he's focused on the rim because he's going for the rebound 3) in mid-air, so he has no idea where Kyrie will land, other than assuming Kyrie will come straight down from a jump shot 4) Kyrie is kicking out his left leg?

You don't need to look at your own feet to know where you're putting them. Do you need to look at mine to know where I'm putting mine if I'm not in your line of sight? How much more so when you're not focusing on me, but on something else?

Also, you never answered my question from my previous reply. Tell me if you consider this a dirty play:

Spoiler!
I don't think it was dirty at all. I don't like it either, and I hope it doesn't have any long-term ramifications on Irving's career, but it's basketball. I stopped playing in 6th grade when the exact same thing happened to me and I wound up with a broken nose.

It doesn't look dirty, no. Looks accidental at first glance...
