"We're talking about the league's 2-time MVP getting his pants pulled down by a national audience calling him a flopper... Is it not a terrible look for the league when he makes 7 baskets and scores 30 points?"
@jasonrmcintyre thinks SGA's flopping is hurting the NBA
Mike Greenberg believes SGA’s boring style of play could impact him in All Time Great conversations:
“Sometimes watching him play is agonizing. It is not fun…. You have to understand that for the rest of us, watching this style of play is not like watching Steph, it’s not like watching Michael Jordan. It’s just not. We’re watching to be entertained.”
This was Chris Finch 2 years ago, before OKC won anything.
Instead of the league doing anything about it then, the entire team has evolved into untouchable floppers.
Media heads are now all repeating the same PR propaganda acting like we’re all blind.
Shaimeless league.
Anthony Edwards after Winning a game vs the OKC Thunder during the 2023-24 Season:
“Cheating A** refs.”
“Imma take the fine cuz the refs did not give us no calls tonight.”
Wolves have rightfully called this out for 2+ years but the league wants to pretend it doesn’t exist.
Michael Wilbon says kids around the world will be learning how to FLOP if SGA wins the title this year:
“Winning covers all this stuff. The deodorant that covers all stink, is winning…. If SGA goes back to back, and enters next season as a two time champion and two time MVP, guess what? There will be kids on the playground learning how to flop”
This is embarrassing.
Basically Adam Silver doesn’t think the NBA has a flopping problem and they aren’t going to do anything about it.
The NBA is encouraging the problem by dismissing it as “selling calls” and being ok with that. Complete failure as a commissioner.
The Spurs have the ball down 98-88
• Refs miss a goaltending call
• Ball goes off Chet’s foot
• They ignore the coach’s challenge request
• SGA gets free throws
• Mitch Johnson is hit with a tech
• Lu Dort and Tony Brothers laughing on the sideline
Us fans deserve better than this smh
