Fans were left fuming during the recent game between the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the referee appeared to ignore Nuggets’ center Nikola Jokic

In a crucial moment, Jokic leaped high into the air, attempting to take the ball against Rudy Gobert. However, to the dismay of the fans, the referee seemed to wait for Jokic to come down before making a call

Jokic jumped 3 times

He jumped a fourth time but the referee threw the ball as Jokic was falling

Rudy Gobert easily won it

Fans took to social media platforms to express their discontent, criticizing the referee for what they perceived as a lack of awareness and impartiality.

The first person said: “The ref waited to throw it when he jumped too. Ref wasn’t having it”

The second fans continue: “They waited for Jokic to come down and then tossed it.”

Another one express: Jokic has to entertain himself somehow, this basketballthing is just too easy….🤭

This incident serves as a reminder of the subjective nature of refereeing decisions in sports. While referees are tasked with making split-second judgments, instances like these highlight the need for consistent and fair officiating to maintain the integrity of the game.
