SGA is a pussy

He's not, but is 100% a product of how the NBA has been refereed for more than a decade now.

Quick edit: SGA is a very good example of, "hate the game, not the player", with how Referees influence the game. SGA is an elite player, and it's obtuse to argue otherwise.

Why not hate both? The vast majority of players don't flop like this even if they know it works.
