I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Andrelton Simmons, aka Simba, and Andruw Jones in the first half of his career were the two best defensive players I’ve ever seen. Not just on the teams I covered for 31 years as a beat writer, but the best I saw, period.
@xavierjdesigns@BhetTaker@kaladinstrom You keep refusing to answer my questions!
But answer real quick, no, there is no other explanation for him falling with zero contact and jumping into defenders besides him trying to get fouls.
@xavierjdesigns@BhetTaker@kaladinstrom Dp you honestly believe he's falling on accident? Even the media people defending admitt he's "selling calls."
Outside of him admitting it, is there any evidence on Earth that SGA flops that would satisfy you?
@davidroyourboat There actually is statistical evidence. They crunched the numbers and he falls more than any other player.
I do agree that this is bigger than "just basketball," but you're part of the problem. People feel entitled to their own facts, and ignore reality.
@xaviercross1971@neeldown__@SamQuinnCBS 1) this isn't true.
2) even if it was, "no one talks about those teams, as long as you don't count the many times people talk about those teams" is such a ridiculous argument to make.
