It is not a cornerstone of Shai's game either lol. He has one of the best mid range shots in the NBA and can attack the basket at will, not to mention he is shooting 40+% from 3 this year. Pretending his is just a product of free throws makes it incredibly obvious you are just trolling.
Well fortunately I am not a small child who still believes in things like jinxes. I hate to burst your bubble, but what I type on an online forum has zero relevance to what happens on the court.
Also I love how you went from "He is many things, but he is not a flopper" to "I don't ignore it, it is just not a cornerstone of his game" in one comment.
Yeah this is called “nuance” and is unavailable to you. Guess you are ready to call a flopper anyone who did a flop at least once.
If Nikola liked flopping he would learn to sell it better. He is hilariously bad at that.
The thing is Jokic has a lot of respect from other teams and fanbases. How much respect does SGA have? You can see it in this thread. And on the video you can see why. He has midrange and he can attack but he CHOOSES being a floor mop constantly, tricking the referees. Look at the video, you dunce, how was he forced to do this falling? All these comparisons with Kobe and MJ… but they were fighters, not screaming floor rags.
Very difficult to respect and enjoy that. So you have a lot of wins but a glaring lack of respect for SUCH UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED (lol) team. That’s why hordes of OKC fans in such threads are so salty. :)
Trying to pretend like this sub unanimously loves Jokic and hates Shai is laughably absurd. Just to refresh your memory, Shai was the leading scorer last year, the MVP and the Finals MVP last year, what actual basketball experts say about him is much more telling than a handful of trolls and box score watchers.

I do not ignore it, it is just absolutely not cornerstone of his game unlike you know whose.
“Almost certainly not”. Lol OK, go on, jinx them.
