The Kings' point guard turned the Mavs' big man away at the rim, but did he actually get credit for the rejection?
The Kings have once again become relevant in the NBA conversation following their trade for Rudy Gay on Sunday night. They will have a new on-court look given the personnel that will be changing uniforms, and that includes some role changes for players who were already in Sacramento.

Perhaps Bernard James will think twice in the future before attacking the rim with the Kings' shot-blocker hanging around, especially if the "hand is part of the ball" rule is in effect.
Side note: Isaiah Thomas was not credited for a block on this play. What say you? Was this a rejection?
