Is it ethically ok to dunk on an injured player like STAT in the video?

You play to the whistle, and Duncan wasn't that hurt anyway he just got smacked in the face not a broken leg.

Stoudemire didn't really do anything 'extra', just finished off the play and went back on defense.

Yes. No sportsmanship for the hall of fame CPU

Yes. Remember when Melo was laying unconscious on the floor for two whole possessions and guys were just playing around him?

If this was a kids league it'd be one thing but for grown men playing professionally, you stop on the whistle and even then play doesn't stop on the whistle anymore due to continuation rules.

If he’s playing through injury, yes. If the dude is injured and he’s trying to move/is on the ground and can’t move, then it isn’t.

In this video, it isn’t ethical

Duncan wasn't immobile and he didn't have to stand underneath the hoop. What exactly is unethical about this?

Like I'd get it if he had a lower body injury and was unable to move from underneath the hoop but that isn't the case here.

My dude, he can’t see. He doesn’t know where he’s at because he just got hit in the face. If he got hit anywhere else, I’d say he could get out of the way. Since he got hit in the face, first thing you do instinctively is cover up. He couldn’t see, so he could’ve fucked around and hurt himself or someone else.

Amar’e could’ve just done a simple layup and not touch Duncan but nope he went up and dunked it on someone who couldn’t see and probably didn’t even know where he was at

He got hit after he caught the rebound underneath the rim

Tim Duncan couldn’t see?

I’m not soft, I’m js that he clearly saw someone under the rim and instead of going up with something simple, he had to go dunk over him and increase the chances of hitting him and then hurting himself as well. Amar’e is so injury prone I bet he got injured when coming off the rim

Dude it's competition. Have you ever competed? Do you want Amar'e to give Tim a bandaid or something?

Yes I have actually, but when someone fell during the race I stopped and helped them up. What I’m sayin is the dude put the game before person and THAT is unethical
