The Oklahoma City Thunder tried their hardest but couldn’t take down the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
Following the game, the team was a bit disheartened, but they had issues that went beyond the final score.
Speaking to the press and Joel Lorenzi, via Legion Hoops, Jalen Williams complained about a common problem in the league.
Williams said:
“NBA, move the cameras off the baseline bro. I’m tired of falling over the cameras.”

All NBA fans have seen incidents when players are flung into the front row of the crowd or down under the basket.
When this happens, they usually collide with fans or the people tasked with filming and taking pictures of the game.
Giving camera people such great access to the games allows for wonderful videos and images, but it can also be dangerous.
NBA players are very large men, and they are moving at incredible speeds.
Not only can the camera crew be hurt in a collision, but players can be injured too.
Luckily, any serious injuries are infrequent, but Williams would love for the league to make an adjustment so he doesn’t have to fear anything in the middle of a game.
However, his wish will probably be ignored because the league is very happy with the footage they receive, and so are fans.
Some of the best photos from games are only possible because of people sitting courtside.
The baseline can be a dangerous place, but that won’t be changing any time soon.
Williams must be extra careful to ensure he keeps himself safe because the camera crew isn’t going anywhere.
