c'mon man, why do you think the announcers were clowning like that? If you were playing any kind of fundamentally sound defense you could pressure the ball and not let him tie his damn shoe with the ball in play or have him drive around you.
its basically showboating to tie your shoe during the game... like lightweight harlem globetrotters style. If I was a defender, i would have taken it as an insult, but mostly I would be embarrassed for playing such soft defense.
