First of all, Manu took like 8 steps. So not calling a foul was because they didn't call the travel. Secondly, I've seen the replay a hundred times. Very little contact. Allen got mostly ball. And I assume the other one is the Bosh block at the end? He got all ball and may have bumped him with his body a little. But Green was going sideways because of his momentum so it's hard to tell. Besides, don't people always say let the players play? There wasn't nearly enough contact on either play to decide the game with a bad call. If Jordan can push off for his game winning basket in 1998, then this was nothing
