Basketball games, man, they’re just unexpected chaos sometimes, you know? So there was this moment—and honestly, it’s still rattling around in my brain—when Dort kinda collided with Morant. That clash? Felt more like a dance move gone wrong than a dirty foul. Anyway, after the game, Dort had some words to share (which, by the way, get stuck in your head because of how casual yet serious he was).
Picture it: He’s like, “That was a tough one,” and I’m sitting there thinking, “Of course, dude!” But then he spills out that he didn’t even notice Morant creeping up behind him. Talk about sneaky! Apparently, Dort was just darting back like a lightning bolt, aiming to do that hustle thing for the team. Just imagine all the swoosh and sneakers skidding to a halt. He says he tried to stop but, oops, skidding on the court happened. Morant went down, and I swear, there was this collective gasp, like everyone just inhaled the gym’s stale popcorn. Anyway, Dort, being the earnest guy he seems to be, just hoped Morant was alright. Which, if you think about it, shows that even in the heat of battle (is ‘battle’ too dramatic? Maybe), there’s sportsmanship swirling around.
Bottom line? It was all a blur, and Dort didn’t mean any harm. Could’ve fooled me with how tense it all was, but it was just another ‘oops’ moment in the unpredictable world of sports. Wishing Morant speedy recoveries because nobody likes seeing a player down. Like ever.
