Lokomotiv-Kuban basketball player Okaro White believes that UNICS Kazan forward Louis Laberie deliberately knocked out his teeth in the VTB United League finals match.
White lost four teeth after colliding with Laberie for a rebound in the third game of the finals. UNICS won the title.
— On the one hand, recently we have played many intense matches with CSKA. On the other hand, there is UNICS, with whom we met in the final, we share almost the same colors, and even the arenas are built according to the same design. So, probably UNICS.
Did Louis Laberie knock out several of my teeth at once in the last final? I’m sure of it, but I’m not mad at him. He and I both understand perfectly well that if this had happened on the street, I would have quickly killed him. But where I grew up, it’s customary to only get into a fight with someone who also wants to fight. But he just didn’t want a fair fight – he had to get me out of the game one way or another. I perceive this as the tricks of a fool. That’s why I wouldn’t punch him, but I would slap him on the head,” White told the Championship.
