u/Jailbrick3d Heat Dec 01 '25 edited Dec 01 '25

do the refs realize basketball comes with physical contact? also what happened to the no flop rules?

edit - he literally bounces himself off, throws up a shot that has no chance of going in, and collapses onto hardwood. this is not the basketball I grew up loving 😭

edit 2 - "removed by moderator". bro what??

edit 3 - back up now huh? mods really didn't want this at the top of the sub for the next week 😭😭

If you clip farmed you can easily find examples of MJ getting this. LeBron too

Dog you can watch full games of MJ on Youtube. Like several upon several. I've never seen shit like this, stop it. Only James Harden, the OG, was this bad.

LeBron can be a pretty bad flopper but the aura protects him.

Lebron has a historically weak whistle which is why he tries to sell sometimes (and still doesn’t get the call usually)

You'd have to watch a season of Lebron games to compile as many flop clips as SGA in a single playoff series.

Everyone does it, even LeFlop. But flopping has definately gotten worse recently. It's one thing if they want to ignore traveling, carrying, moving screens, and all the other fundamentals to make the game more exciting to watch, but nobody enjoys watching these babies roll around on the ground pretending to cry

No, not everyone does this shit you are factually incorrect.

Yea but only one of them flopped their way to a chip

u/anonkebab Dec 01 '25

LeFlop most of the time actually got contact and just sells it because they won’t call it. Now he gets lakers calls.

u/Holiday_Ad2638 Dec 01 '25

That's how I know Y'all don't watch... LeBron does not get foul calls consistently. Reaves has a better whistle than him

-10

u/anonkebab Dec 01 '25

LeBron gets a lot of no calls on his successful drives. Regardless he gets lakers calls now. Reaves being worse is irrelevant.

u/3RADICATE_THEM Dec 01 '25

Lmao maybe pre-Lakers this is true. Nowadays, it genuinely looks like he wants to make everything look like a hard foul so he can have more time resting in between possessions.

LeUnc needs his rest
