“I don’t know if it was intentional but it was dirty. Playoff basketball is supposed to be physical. Everybody’s going to compete, everybody’s going to fight for everything. But there’s a code in this league,' said Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr
Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr erupted at the Memphis Grizzlies after player Dillon Brooks’ “dirty” foul on Gary Payton II that landed Payton in a hospital with a fractured left elbow, saying Brooks “broke the code.” Brooks clubbed Payton across the head early in the playoff game as he tried to stop him when Payton leapt for the basket. Payton fell to the floor, grabbing his left arm and groaning in pain. After the game, Kerr said, “I don’t know if it was intentional but it was dirty.
Everybody’s going to compete, everybody’s going to fight for everything. But there’s a code in this league. There’s a code that players follow where you never put a guy’s season-slash-career in jeopardy by taking somebody out in mid-air and clubbing them across the head and ultimately fracturing Gary’s elbow. This is a guy who’s been toiling the last six years trying to make it in this league. Finally found a home. Just playing his butt off this year.
