Rule 12B, Section II, page 45 of the NBA rule book states:

a. A dribbler shall not (1) charge into an opponent who has established a legal guarding position, or (2) attempt to dribble between two opponents, or (3) attempt to dribble between an opponent and a boundary, where sufficient space is not available for illegal contact to be avoided.

b. If a defender is able to establish a legal position in the straight line path of the dribbler, the dribbler must avoid contact by changing direction or ending his dribble.

c. The dribbler must be in control of his body at all times. If illegal contact occurs, the responsibility is on the dribbler.

Jokic routinely throws his ass, shoulder, or elbow into defenders who have established legal position, or just flat out pushes the defender away with his off arm, forcing his way to the basket.

IDGAF what you think. The NBA literally has a section in the rulebook that outlines what Jokic does as an offensive foul.

I am not saying he isn't extremely talented, or that he isn't an extremely skilled player. I am saying he violates the rules, AS THEY ARE WRITTEN BY THE NBA AND NOT BY KC_Connection, and he very rarely gets called for it.

You want an offensive foul called on Jokic for posting up and backing down players?

You wouldn't have liked basketball much a few decades ago.
