Ted Valentine has always been a controversial referee, even earning the nickname “TV Teddy” throughout the years.
Tonight, he took his circus act to a whole new level.
At one point, Valentine called a technical foul on Malik Monk for dunking:
If this is a technical foul it's time to end basketball as a sport. (I'll give you three guesses who lit Monk up.) pic.twitter.com/6P15bRczTu

As you can see, many people noticed TV Teddy tonight (maybe that’s what he loves?):
I think Ted Valentine just called three fouls in six seconds.

I'm not even kidding, Teddy Valentine should be suspended for this. He is literally calling phantom fouls.

I imagine hell to be eternally locked in a room with a continuous loop of Teddy Valentine-called games. #BBN

Ted Valentine is a bad referee. Even worse, he evaluates refs in AAU. He once threatened to give me a tech from under the goal #bum

Things that Ted Valentine loves: 1. Ted Valentine, 2. Ted Valentine, 3. Fouls that wouldn’t be called anywhere else on Earth. #UKvsMSST
