As messed up as it to go out of your way in trying to breaking an opponent's protective piece of eyewear, I'd be remiss if I said I didn't see the humor in it. Justise Winslow causally meandering on up to Joel Embiid's fallen mask as if no one was watching, while presumably whistling to himself, before stomping on like it was a loose dollar that happened to catch his eye is not only a hysterical move, but one that falls in line with the bad guy role he promised to fill...
Unfortunately, I have seen this movie before. Despite the fun he's had in treating it as if it has special powers, I don't think the mysterious mask is what's completed 'The Process'. However, even if it did, how often has it behooved the evil villain to try to steal the magic from an inanimate object? Like, in the history of cinema, no one from Frosty the Snowman to The Mask has ever been defeated by vindictiveness or jealousy, and none of them had a biological skill-set so superior that it would almost have to be scripted. I'm all for trying to get in the head of an opponents, but the 7 foot freak with the mobility of a guard, range that's almost as incomprehensible as his array of post moves, and an appetite for embarrassment probably isn't the player whose skin I would have started with.
