A lot of ink has been spilled over Laddergate. Some of the worst ink was spilled on Twitter, where the user who initially posted the video framed it as disrespectful. Some of the best ink was spilled over at The Athletic, which provided the context omitted from the video.
Why spill any more ink? Although a case could be made to simply consign this incident to history - and let ladders in front of the hoop lie, as it were - I think that it actually serves as an important piece of Giannis’ legacy.
