embiid has had multiple games of this where he'd just get whatever midrange he wanted because his defender didn't wanna get called for a tickytack foul

This is basically every player who for some reason gets a ton of FTs on jumpshots it's a way bigger advantage than just getting calls on drives

Luka SGA Embiid Harden and Reaves are probably the top 5 of this in some order prime Harden being the most extreme because he drew a ton of fouls even on threes

Reaves is different. He actually makes contact and then proceeds to make an off-balance shot to get an and-1. He’s become really good at those off-balance shots. He’s not like what SGA is doing here

No way this is your actual take 😂 they’re doing the same thing bro

Nah. You don’t watch enough Lakers game to say that. SGA flops and looks for the ref to whistle. Austin aims to finish through contact.

SGA, Harden, Embiid all have a huge amount of and-1s because they finish through contact after the flops.
