Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the leading free throw shooters in the NBA. His ability to get to the line has caused some to call him a "free throw merchant." The fact that he earned two free throws on a jump ball during Game 5 of the NBA Finals is not going to help him beat the allegations.
Matched up with T.J. McConnell after a tie-up in the third quarter, the MVP drew a whistle on McConnell. Yes, McConnell did hit SGA in the arm trying to win the tip, but when was the last time you saw someone draw a foul call in this situation? Let alone get two free throws on a jump ball that his team was going to win anyway?
