@KevinOConnor@UsherNBA The claim SGA falls on every shot is silly. It's debunked by showing one play where he doesn't fall. No one truly thinks that and I think Tom knows this.
That said, his findings are interesting (SGA does fall more than others). Flop-tracking should be a real project!
@saiyajosh@tomhaberstroh This would be interesting to see. With some of these flops it looks like they're not even trying for an "and 1". Just a full on arms-legs-flail commit to drawing a foul.
@LandPiratesBMFS@vihntage1@EricSal_7 Fouls drawn is irrelevant. He falls down/kicks/flops to sell fouls. You can argue it's smart and helps his team (it does). It's just not enjoyable to watch for many people.
I agree it's a problem for lots of players. He's just the best player so he gets the most attention.
@ianmiles Wouldn't a 1,000x more productive programmer mean far less programmers were needed?
Do we think AI will eventually replace the "supervisor" duties the human would provide?
(I know nothing about coding)
