Unfortunately it’s the way the league is headed and if you don’t learn how to draw bullshite fouls you’re at a disadvantage. That being said Luka Doncic is the best player in the NBA at least in my opinion. Sorry to Joker and Edwards. He’s unbelievable even if he comes off as a little bitch. Both those teams get so many more free throws every game because they practice flopping. An extra 4-6 free throw attempts per game can be the difference to winning or losing.

It's also a skill to draw fouls. It's been something to see Thunder fans complain about Luka when they have SGA.

This is part of why I would love a Trae Young trade. Put aside the fact that he would be a great fit next to Zion, he knows how to work the refs also, and if he can teach Z that aspect Z would average 12 FTA a game

I’ll co-sign on Trae for numerous reasons

We just probably also need to get rid of CJ if we do get Trae in an Ingram trade

I know people don’t think he would do it, but I believe CJ would be open to a 6th man role, in which case I keep him to run bench units

It can also lead to wide-open fast brakes and losses. If you're busy rolling on the floor three times in a row from missing a jumpshot. I saw maxey From Philadelphia try to catch an inbound pass with both his hands but someone touched the back of his shirt so out of instinct He spread both his hands in the air like he got Hit in the back with a 2 x 4 and the ball bounced off of his hand even though he was the only one there. He caught it in the air and landed on his feet decided to fall on the ground because someone touched him and flopped again and this time had nowhere to go And the Knicks won barely bc of this particular play. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen in basketball

They want to play the right way, even if that means losing games.
