Draymond on SGA's Foul-Baiting And Flopping
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”
Mark Cuban says LeBron can take a bad team to the Finals, and that Michael Jordan couldn’t:
“If you need a killer, you go with Michael Jordan. If you want a team to get better and reach the Finals, you go with LeBron James.”
(h/t @ballnetwork, @Fullcourtpass)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ranks 23rd in free throw attempts among players who averaged 30+ PPG since 2005 — and just 10th among the last 20 MVPs
Maybe the ‘foul merchant’ talk is overblown 😬
