Shane Larkin fumes on his fifth foul: 'This call is bullshit' / News - Basketnews.com
Shane Larkin was eliminated from the Barca and Efes game due to his dubious fifth personal foul in the early overtime phase. The 29-year-old guard tried to steal the ball from Kyle Kuric but referees envisioned his illegal actions.

After the nail-biting defeat, Larkin could not cope with the emotions. He took it to Instagram and complained about refereeing there.
"I don't ever come to Instagram with stuff like this but this is bullshit. Unbelievable. This is how I foul out the game. Watch the rest of the clip and tell me where a foul is," the agile guard asked a rhetorical question.
"Man (referee) had his hand raised before anything even happened," Larkin added. "He wanted to call this shit, please tell me where the foul is.
The other team's star player (Larkin meant Nikola Mirotic) fouled out and this guy wanted to call some shit on me to get me out of the game too.
Congrats to Barcelona on a tough win. I'm not taking anything away from them or their players… they earned a tough W. But this call is f*cking bullshit," Anadolu Efes star finished.
