During Thursday’s Hornets-Heat match, Hassan Whiteside was called for goaltending on Frank Kaminsky’s shot. In slow-motion replay, it was pretty clean. You can even hear the announcers criticizing that call.
Hassan Whiteside says his goaltend was ‘cleaner than my grandma’s floor’
In a postgame interview, Whiteside, who was still upset about the call, dropped a turn of phrase to illustrate just how clean that block was:
Hassan Whiteside on the goaltend call late: "That block was cleaner than my grandma's floor. Unbelievable."

Did you make up that phrase yourself or is it borrowed? "I made up every phrase. Every one you hear is from me. Well, 90% of them."

That’s ... that’s a really good line, to be honest. He was also reportedly upset about the times he was fouled during the game, especially on his alley-oop dunk:
He had trouble shooting a free throw after Courtney Lee’s hit, per PalmBeachPost.com:
“I wish I would’ve made that free throw, but I seen three rims,” he said. “I tried to hit it in the middle. I seen three baskets after he hit my face. I tried to hit the middle one. It didn’t work, though.”
The game ended in a 109-106 win for Charlotte.
