Jaylen Brown says SGA is a flopper and a foul baiter
His flopping gets more scrutiny because Caruso and Dort get away with murder on the other side of the court. That’s what really pisses people off.
This right fucking here. The inequity is what drives people’s mad.
one of the Celtics players in the offseason said OKC gets away with physical defense that other teams don’t
They sure as fuck do
I watched those guys jump TJ McConnell for 3 straight quarters after Hali went down. Don’t touch poor ol FTA though lol
what they did to my boy
Then this season people are already calling for an OKC dynasty when they were not at all convincing champions even with the whole league on their side
If hali didnt get hurt, pacer is the champion last season.
Watching them mug Jokic in the playoffs while the commentators sucked them off for “physical defense” was pretty frustrating, for sure
Thunder fans bragging about Caruso holding his own against Jokic. Bro I could cover Jokic if I can just mug the dude 8 times per possession. Not really but it was ridiculous.
Yup. I remember complaining about it in the threads that Caruso was hanging off of Jokic like a jungle gym lol.
I know we never had a chance of winning a single game but Dort should have left the arena in handcuffs for what he did to Ingram in that playoff series in 23-24 season
honestly it’s because they establish it early and every single player does it. Jdub, Caruso, Dort, Wallace, Hartenstein, shit even Shai are very handsy. It’s easy for refs to call physical defense on other teams but when the whole team sets that standard from the word go, they’re just not gonna call everything. Other teams could honestly learn from this.
I can’t stand this argument because the refs obviously know what a foul looks like when they call it on the team playing the thunder. If they called two or three quick fouls on the thunder to begin the game they would stop the shit and people outside of oklahoma might not absolutely fucking hate a talented young team that should be celebrated for how good they are when they aren’t obnoxiously getting away with murder.
To add, I literally have zero issue with refs allowing a physical game and don’t call “traditional” fouls on OKC. Where I lose my fucking mind is while they give the Thunder a hall pass the refs are calling soft “traditional” fouls on the other team.
JUST. BE. CONSISTENT.
Either let ‘em play or call it tight and fair.
They want Shai as the next star. LeBron, steph, KD. Joker, Giannini, etc are all getting old. They have to set up Shai vs Wemby narrative.
Brother, Giannis is 31, he has another 5+ years of elite ball left, Joker is 30, he has at least 6+ years left at his current production level and another 3+ years left of just being flat out more intelligent than his competition.
Shai is 27, thats a 3-4 year gap between those players, they are literally in the same generation, hes certainly closer in age to Joker and Giannis than her is to Wemby.
Also Wemby is irrelevant right now until he actually makes a deep playoff run, until that point his accolades currently are regular season based and there is no reason to overhype him.
Yeah I’ve always hated the “but all those calls are legitimate fouls” argument.
It’s Schrödinger’s NBA. The game is both a non-contact and full-contact sport simultaneously.
Touch fouls are called on one side of the court, but those same touch fouls are deemed inconsequential on the other end of the court.
It’s a balancing act that clearly favours certain players and teams.
This lol.
I watched Nemhard try to run away from SGA only to get called a defensive foul after being initiated contact.
Yet Dort gets to maul someone for 40 minutes a game.
Either Dort wouldn’t last 5 minutes playing against SGA getting 6 fouls, or SGA ain’t scoring anything if he’s allowed to get mauled.
“I asked one of the referees in Seattle, ‘If there were 21 illegal defenses, would you call all 21?’ And he said he would, because if he didn’t the league would be all over him. But it never happens. Now put yourself in the same situation as a coach. If you know the most they are going to call it is four times a game, wouldn’t you start playing it after awhile?” - Antoine Carr
Yeah this is a silly point. A foul is a foul. Call it correctly and suddenly OKC have to play the same game as everyone else, lest they have their whole roster fouled out.
Celtics attempted this this year, but it’s led to a very wide free throw disparity in our opponents favor and guys getting into foul trouble early.
It’s more about knowing when to pull the hands away
It’s the method of so much bullshit you can’t get called out for much because it’s so overwhelming. Dunno anyone else who does this.
i might be wrong bc i don’t watch the thunder THAT much but it seems like they focus a lot of their physicality away from the hoop. they do a lot of off ball holding to make perimeter passes hard and run people off the line, and then kinda live with opponents shooting contested layups over chet and hartenstein. i think they’re clever about timing their fouls. they don’t wack the fuck out of people on shots, but they foul people in all the little annoying ways that gum up offensive flow without being as obviously disruptive to refs. they also have a lot of legitimately good defenders, and refs are known to let players with defensive reputations get away with a bit more. draymond comes to mind.
It’s the main gripe for folks. If they weren’t allowed to do what they do on defense then nobody would care as much.
The Lakers get a really good whistle on one end and don’t defend on the other end to make up for it.
The league should just stop trying to hide it. When anyone play the lakers they start with 5 points.
OKC fans got no rebuttal to this lol
Their rebuttal is usually “yOu’rE mOvInG thE gOALpOsTs”
Their response is actually almost always that nobody watches their games and they are just haters.
No it’s actually almost always “but our FT differential isn’t even that good.” Which is true, but completely missing the point. Getting equal fouls called is not fair when one team is fouling far more than the other.
“you dont know ball, or you don’t watch the game”
I actually had an OKC fan tell me recently that they’d be fine with SGA getting fewer calls if the team’s physical defense can remain the same. So some of them are sane about this and recognize the disparity at least lol.
This is my only real frustration with it. There have been plenty of players who flop more egregiously than SGA. Watching their games feels like the two teams are playing different sports at the same time and it can be really frustrating. If it’s going to be ticky tacky fouls then have it be that both ways. And if it’s going to be rugby then let it be rugby for both sides.
It’s wild to me how SGA’s flopping is one of the big talking points throughout the NBA for these last 2 seasons, which makes the refs look bad and incompetent… and surely, with the refs knowing about this, one would think they would start to over-correct and not fall for his BS… yet they’ve done absolutely nothing.
It’s brutal.
If you’re a Warriors fan you’ve lived through worse rooting against James Harden lol
Exactly, basketball Hitler was way worse but the difference in calls between OKC’s defense and offense is amazing.
Then they get praised by being the #1 defensive team by a landslide. They are great defenders, don’t get me wrong but when you can be way more aggressive on defense because “refs can’t call everything” it gets a little irritating.
Completely agree. Caruso man… I have a lot of respect for him as a defender, but the stuff he’s allowed to get away with is crazy. It reminds me of the warriors players being allowed to set the most ridiculous moving screens for Steph and Klay. Also, before anyone comes in here saying “everyone does it”… stop.
Yep. If everyone watched OKCs post season games (vs Nuggets and Pacers) you can really see the refs letting Caruso and Dort play way harder and slap/push and shove too much.
Shai then gets an easier whistle than most players too.
They still were barely able to beat Nuggets and Pacers with those antics..
I agree. Shai flopping like hell, Caruso/Dort hacking non stop, but its Joker who was fouled out in the finals, in the THIRD quarter, is ridiculous to me.
I could not believe my eyes the shit Caruso was getting away with while guarding jokic last playoffs.
So tired of this dumb narrative. The Warriors got away with physical defense for years and nobody brought it up. Dray and GP2 would hand check up top all game and not get called for it. This year the Pistons have been doing it in every single game. Last year during the finals the Pacers were mauling OKC but nobody but everyone was focused on the other side. So many teams do it but because OKC is the best at it everyone gets mad at them
He’s just saying what 80% of fans feel.
But according to OKC fans it’s all just hate and narratives!
Obviously, there is a lot of exaggeration around the conversation, but there is a real reason behind why he rubs so many fans the wrong way. And it doesn’t help that he’ll flop and get a soft ass call on one end, and then Dort and Caruso will prison shank players on the other end. I really think the difference in how Shai and OKC’s defense is called is the source of the frustration
Wrong messenger if I’ve ever seen one lol.
Hate the message not the messeng- nah fuck him too.
I’ll say it then because my GOAT never gets calls.
I mean jaylen brown is the right messenger.. Boston gets the least amount of free throws.. Brown gets 0 calls on WAY more contact then SGA takes on a daily basis..
I think he was talking bout the commenter being a Lakers fan.
Definitely. But I’ll say, I can respect Jaylen Brown for saying this, because when the Celtics won, they didn’t really flop/foul bait much. Like, every team flops/foul baits, but it was nothing egregious. They won the title with good solid defending, and good shooting.
That’s like 80% because hes on the Celtics and 0% because he’s the wrong player for the message style of play wise. JB is probably top 10 in the league for technical fouls not matching the whistle because he’s strong as hell and doesn’t embellish at all.
I’ll concede we’ve got some S tier foul baiting, but our defense is ass so we aren’t fouling a bunch of people on the other end, and I think that is the real reason people hate on OKC for it. It’s doing both that people really hate. Committing fouls and foul-baiting is just very frustrating to see if you’re the other team
It’s a lot of factors. I think people hate foul baiting in general, but honestly the Lakers brand makes Luka and Reaves’ foul baiting more palatable to the public.
The other thing is, a lot of people don’t actually watch basketball, but they love to comment on the narratives. The SGA narrative is valid, but it’s also just as valid for Luka, Reaves and Brunson. But 1) neither the Lakers or Knicks have made it to the finals with these players and 2) for the most part, the media is not going to paint a negative image of any Knick or Laker unless it’s clear they’re on their way to another team.
The most entertaining thing about the Thunder is their defense. I don’t want to see MORE foul calls in their games. There just needs to be a more clear directive from the league that the foul baiting isn’t going to be rewarded. All of these players will still be great players, we just need to cut down on some of the nonsense to keep the game entertaining.
Nah the SGA narrative was full steam ahead the millisecond people thought he might be better than Jokic and win MVP over him last year. He hadn’t reached the finals, and hadn’t accomplished anything at all really, but the hate was full throttle last year. Saying it’s justified this year because they’ve won is ignoring how much it had picked up before then. SGA does some egregious shit but watching the narrative train in real time was something else.
Luka is up there with sga… glass house, stones buddy
the existence of other floppers doesn’t mean that SGA doesn’t flop.
What-about-ism undermines the subject of the statement. I’m a Lakers fan almost my whole life, and I agree, Luka flops like a mf, LeBron too, Austin Reeves too, but…Shai. too.
We have to stop allowing flopping, offensive fouls turned into defensive fouls, traveling, complaining and players not being able to call out refs without being fined or having a podcast.
Agree.
Being mvp and champ should not make you immune to being called out on this.if anything you get more of the light shone on you
Interesting flair
The problem is the stark difference on how OKC is officiated on defense and offense tbh. Teams just don’t have the depth to be testing the refs as often as they do and get away with it. Being able to run 10 deep lets you be that aggressive on defense. If the Thunder didn’t have as deep of a bench I think they’d be less aggressive but they do, so they can throw bodies in even if the refs started calling them on the softer stuff they get away with. It’s a horrible watch from a fan perspective tbh.
Honestly its more frustrating to play against Luka than Shai
80% of NBA fans are not following the sport close enough to have an opinion.
But Mr Silver said watching highlights is sufficient
We all have eyes💀
And that 80% of fans is actually are actually just frustrated that the rules are designed to benefit foul baiters like SGA and Jimmy (and Deni…. Shit)
They play the game based on how the rules benefit them.
How does Luka always dodge these accusations? Dude is the worst of the bunch. Averages the least drives and is having an all timer free throw attempt season
He’s also much more in the draws fouls category than a flopper, like he orchestrates a situation where the defender has to give him an easy bucket or get caught fouling. Like when he gets someone on his hip during a drive, the defender can sag off and allow an easy bucket or stay on him as he takes his shot, but that literally is a foul.
He’s also much more in the draws fouls category than a flopper, like he orchestrates a situation where the defender has to give him an easy bucket or get caught fouling.
No, he’s absolutely a flopper too. And he’s a baiter in his own right, both Luka and Shai lower their shoulders into defenders that have legal positioning and just bull them over to draw bad blocking calls. I know that’s an officiating issue, but to act like Luka isn’t both flopping and also just committing offensive fouls by the letter of the law that he knows he’s going to get the whistle for is ridiculous.
Yes, a good portion of them are earned, but he is not clean in this discussion at all.
Thunder fans are 12 years old their middle school coach hasn’t taught them about getting the defender on their hip yet
Luka used to get this hate before he realized if he was bad enough on defense everyone would nitpick that instead
I’ve been in this sub for a long time, and Luka doesn’t get the same level of hate that Harden, Embiid, Trae, or Shai do. You want real hate go in those threads about those players past or present, I always grabbed my popcorn to watch the shit show lol
He doesn’t. You are accusing him right now.
Not in any way close to the obsessive amount the entirety of the NBA fandom focuses on SGA, and this was well before the MVP and Championship
I mean, first youre right. People focus on SGA.
Secondly…. He fucking flops in the most blatantly stupid ways. One time I saw him push off a dude hard, and flop/fall at the same time. His brain couldn’t decide if he was making space to shoot, or if he was going to flop. So he just did both at the same time. It’s so blatant
OKC fans aren’t 20% of fans
90%
Jaylen Brown also say he nice. No. Nice as fuck.
He is. & he still would be without the baiting. But def adds to his stats
it’s too bad cause he probably had no idea he was being recorded. you can tell with just how relaxed he seemed answering…. these dudes never speak this openly when talking to the media especially criticizing players they think are “nice as fuck”
gotta absolutely suck never being able to talk freely because of people trying to secretly record you to go viral
The price you pay for making 50 million dollars for being an entertainer. Wasn’t it Dennis Rodman who said he would play the game for free, it was everything else that he had to get paid for?
He’s streaming. I just think he has balls like steel
What was the question tho?
Edit: Who are your favorite players to watch or something like that.
Shai was his 4th-5th pick.
Donald: “Well, I fool around sometimes, I do. When a girl seduces me and tells me all these hot stories and dirty things and tells me how much she wants to suck on me and take my shoes off and licks my feet and touches me. When I’m in a limousine, she takes all of her clothes. The limo driver said, ‘What is going on?’ And she started sucking me on the way to Mr. Koon’s house. And I thank her. I thank her for making me feel good.”
Interviewer: “Sir, the question was, ‘Is this your handwriting?’”
For some reason I thought this was Trump and not Sterling.
Two creepy rich men, I guess.
shoutout to anyone out there named donald who isn’t a old ass creep. because they are fighting an uphill battle rn 🙏
Donald Glover my hero
I genuinely thought this was a Trump quote until I read your comment. tf
One of the most absurd quotes. Like when Frank from Its Always Sunny gets unzipped by the therapist
he did also say “he nice” and mentioned that everyone exaggerates contact. so. like. let’s at least give the full context here
There’s a reason they cut the question asked off the list. I’m going to assume they are asking who he thinks the best player in the league is, and he says Shai. Then he goes on to say how good he is, but he doesn’t like the foul baiting. If the question asked was something related to who he thinks flops the most or whatever then the question would have stayed in the interview. People love trying to manipulate shit to cause drama and get clicks, it’s so obvious to anyone aware of what the media likes to do.
The question was “Who are your favorite players to watch?”
Shai was like his 4th-5th pick.
Your assumption is wrong and far from the real question but I agree that the clip was manipulated on purpose.
I don’t think it’s “who do you think the best player in the league is” because I’m pretty sure he’d say himself, but I’m guessing it’s “who’s the hardest guy you’ve had guard” or something along those lines
He’s not even that egregious with selling contact, I feel like referees just give him calls and SGA is usually like “oh okay cool thanks eh”.
Harden was WAAAAAAAAY worse. The man wasn’t even trying to play basketball.
But also we need more blame on referees for apparently making a career out of being tricked every single game lmao
Harden rode on MCW’s back and they didn’t call a foul.
Harden would do so much shit you’d have guys defending hands behind their back.
You’re wrong.
They did call a foul.
On MCW.
and then people here will say the rules don’t favor the offense, they’re just more skilled than previous players
I think this is why SGA’s foul baiting doesn’t bother me that much. Yeah I wish he didnt’ do it, but most of the time it does seem like he’s at least trying to make some kind of offensive move and exaggerating contact along the way. Harden was doing that crazy move when he’d dribble and hook your arm to make you “foul” him and a ton of other stuff. Like half the time it didn’t seem like he was trying to score at all, he was just trying to find a way to look like he got fouled.
But I guess a lot of people here are too young to remember that - it was damn near 6 years ago at this point.
This is how I feel. He gets some bullshit calls but I’m old enough to have seen much worse, so it barely bothers me. I’m not saying that makes it right, but it’s infinitely more watchable than what I’ve seen in years past.
how are they not embarrassed yet? like they are being tricked but they continue to let it happen ig.
NBA clearly tells refs not to prioritize it. It’s annoying.
It’s not about just the foul baiting. It’s what Caruso and Dort get away with on the other end
OKC fans gonna be mad lolol
Bro they do NOT take kindly to people talking shit about their style of basketball. That sub has somehow found a way to feel like underdogs with 2 losses in mid-December lol.
Tbf every fan of every team from all leagues and sports try to frame themselves as underdogs nowadays. From Ohio State to Real Madrid fans, it’s actual insanity
Makes sense though. Following a team that is expected to win everything isn’t that fun, it’s only frustrating when they do eventually lose. I guarantee Pacers fans were having the most fun last playoffs
Real Madrid fans are rabid on a whole other level.
Thunder fans are jaded about the subject since it’s been a pretty consistent topic ever since we’ve popped off as a franchise, so there’s your reason why. It stems from insecurity from the insecure fans.
It’s also growing pains for a franchise not used to being in the spotlight and public enemy #1.
Yeah you gotta enjoy the honeymoon period while you can because it goes away FAST when the winning starts.
Yeah, I also think a lot of Thunder fans are not fans of other professional sports and being a sports villain is jarring to them. Because when we had the KD, Westbrook, Ibaka teams we were the foil to the sports villain heat. And so to those fans they feel like we should be darlings again since we’re back on top. But the difference this time is there is no villain for us to foil because it’s us this time around.
It was KD. He was loved until he turtled up and went to GS
They didn’t get a honeymoon period while y’all were loved for 1 great finals performance while being mid for the rest of the POs and getting overrated as the best team ever just because it was James on the other end.
Tbf if people talked shit about your team you’d be upset too. I just think people talking shit are corny sometimes but like everyone else would be the same way if it was their team. Look at Lakers fans always but also look at them now with Luka
People have been talking trash about the Celtics and Lakers since I started watching Bird/Magic. People went after the Patriots for 20 years. Not difficult to just ignore it
I mean how often do you have threads dedicated to it with thousands of votes and comments? It’s basically a weekly event for us at this point.
“How dare this NBA player say something I have no influence on 😡😡😡”
It’s a very common thing. It cuts at the end but Brown even says that “everybody does it.” I don’t LOVE it as a fan, but I’m willing to overlook it to focus on the much more admirable stuff about his game that is wayyy more interesting anyways. He’s a great player.
All that to say, playing against it would be annoying af, and we have before, as there are other floppers too.
I literally couldn’t care less. Fans or other NBA players.
This video was flagged for violating our Community Guidelines?????? What
Mod who’s an OKC fan.
Same mod that deleted SGAs flop against the Blazers
Why streamable sucks…
[removed]
Its so weird to me how SGA has become the face of flopping and foul baiting lol. Hes not even like top 5. And most of the time its cuz defenses legit cant stay in front of him without cheating, and he flops to force the call. Its not like Austin Reaves level whistle
who is top 5? luka, reaves, butler, embiid when he was alive, who else?
Harden is one that you’ve missed for sure
The Portland guy. Denni something
Fuck off, Reaves just got an advance foul next time he plays us because of this comment you made. Thanks a lot!
Seriously, I was in shock at Reaves whistle when we played the Lakers last time.
Brunson in their to
Trae for sure, Harden even tho hes cooled down, Brunson is up there, Jimmy is a good grifter but not as bad of a flopper as these guys which is the distinction im making. Jokic last playoffs was worse than anything Shai’s done if we are being real. The flops off the ball on offense and defense were embarrassing. Deni this year is also pretty crazy, hes mastered the Harden low gather foul drawing ability
A huge part of it is the feeling that his team’s defense gets away with way more than other teams do on defense. So it feels like this hypocrisy thing, even if SGA’s personal conduct isn’t as bad as others regarding flopping.
“Dort and Caruso can do anything they want on defense! They’re tackling people out there! But if the other team even gets close to SGA, they blow the whistle!”, that kind of thing.
Yeah, as bad as Shai can be sometimes, the more annoying part is seeing the rest of the team, especially Caruso and Dort, like you said, do whatever they want on defense. Exhibit A being Caruso on Jokic in these past playoffs. Let someone do that to Shai on a regular basis
I’m curious, why didn’t Caruso have this reputation 2-3 years ago when he’s been playing the same exact style of defense?
He was beloved in LA when he was doing this on the Lakers too lol. Carushow and bald eagle dunks were popular memes.
Precisely, it’s wild seeing his rep change merely because he dared to guard r/NBA’s daddy (Jokic) well in one playoff game. The whiplash is prolific, even Lakers fans are joining in which is pretty wild
It’s an odd one for sure. Someone the other day said it was because Caruso “started winning, so people started hating him”. Buuuuut, he already had a ring before yall lol. Makes no sense.
Yea thats mainly it. Every super elite defense gets a great whistle. So if Shai was on the dynasty Warriors instead of Steph it would be the same thing lol
It’s probably just because he and his team are really good so there’s more attention on it
he’s easily one of the biggest floppers
Luka is worse and then goes crazy on refs for buying it.
Reaves is also a massive foul baiter.
He spends a ton of time staring at the ref, while the play is going on behind him lol
This sub letting Luka & Reaves off for their flopping/foulbaiting is why I’ll never apologize for Shai lol
Jokic in the playoffs is much worse than Shai bros literally jumping on people’s backs and shit for calls it’s insane
The Jokic flopping compilation from last year’s playoffs got removed yet I never saw his fans get shit on for reporting it.
Luka is the worst flopper and foul baiter in the league
I’ll never not laugh at the NBA ref page link to the example clip being Luka himself.
https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/flopping-violation-committed-by-offensive-shooter/
But none of those changes lasted more than like a month.
The officiating is the actual issue. James harden did the same, but can you really blame them? If they get whistles all night long, and keep winning, they’d do it to.
What makes it bad is it’s unfair. The refs are so bad it’s just obviously biased.
but can you really blame them?
I mean… yes?
Maybe it’s naive to expect sports athletes to really have any shame though.
Yes we can blame them still
People are complaining about how they are reffed differently on offense and defense not SGA getting foul calls.
Honestly, the thing about Shai is he doesn’t seem like someone who cares if he gets fouls or not – he’s so talented he can score at will. It’s more infuriating to see the refs always call it.
Why is the video not working?
OKC fans reported it for violating community standards
hot take but you gotta sell your fouls or the refs wont ever take it seriously and you’ll get hacked 24⁄7
some people could keep it more kayfabe though for lack of a better term
he literally says “there’s a difference between drawing a foul and flopping”. SGA does a lot of flopping but if the refs are gonna call it you can’t blame him for helping his team win
I think SGA is drawing fouls more than he flops. I can’t think of a single person who doesn’t have difficulty guard SGA without fouling him.
he initiates contact and gets the call half the time or more
*but he’s a flopper.
That’s what people say when they talk about him. Must suck that is his reputation now, despite his talent.
Yeah must really suck that idiots and some players who are way less talented say that after he had one of the best single seasons ever and nobody can say anything against it other than this stupid shit
Right? Like Shai is crying into his 2025 MVP, WCF MVP, Finals MVP, and NBA Championship Ring. However will he manage!
That empty space on the mantelpiece for the NBA cup tho
Tyler Kolek > SGA
I mean Brown is also a champion, ECF MVP and Finals MVP, he isn’t exactly a bum role player crying about Shai.
Right lol I’m sure he’s crying with his chip and mvp 😂
Homie, you got amnesia about Manu lol?
Selective memory.. all the great fans have it
Also Duncan and Tony flailing like idiots
His reputation is MVP and Champion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He’s not wrong
SGA doesn’t even need to flop the refs give it to him anyways
Yeah, but he still flols every play strictly for love for the game
Everyone knows
who flagged the video lmao
Man SGA flopping is the lesser of two evils. I’d rather them call fouls on the defense than deal with SGA. Dort and Caruso should be fouling out in the 3rd quarter every game..
Another streamable, another dead link
Am I bad at English?
He didn’t say he flops. He said he foul baits & that’s different. He complimented him basically(?)
Pretty sure he was equating flopping and foul baiting - he said if you draw a foul (legitimately fouled) then that’s whatever, good for you, but if you’re acting like you got hit and didn’t get hit (foul baiting/flopping), he doesn’t like that.
That’s what it sounded like, at least, just from this little snippet.
Mirror?
Yeah, we know.
Finally one of the players to say it publicly.
Truth
Why did this get removed?
Stop putting ya hands on him and he won’t get FTs
He might score 35 on 65% shooting, but he won’t get FTs at least.
I know i will be downvoted, but i have been watching SGA since his rookie season, and the guy just sees things. The game is slow for him and his reaction time is extremely fast. So he moves into space before the defence can react and then fouls happen when other players try to catch up to where he is heading.
Even with all this being said, nothings gonna stop OKC from winning 65+ games, possibly 70+ and likely getting the MVP.
His FTs dropped during the post season and he was still as dominant as ever.
JB spitting facts.
Eagles with the tush push, Chiefs with soft ass “roughing the Patrick” calls, Golden State’s moving screens, Vegas’s LTIR abuse, LA Dodgers overspending to ruin baseball, the NHL’s Department of Panther Success, deflated footballs, spygate, Astros banging garbage can lids, hack-a-shaq, LeDecision
Turns out most instances of sporting dominance of the last two decades involved some degree of controversy and rule abuse/circumvention, ranging from creative plays that should be allowed to getting away with murder in a way that needs a neutral 3rd party investigation
These are truths
If Jaylen got SGA’s whistle he’d shoot 30 FTs/game.
Says the dude who fakes his hairline
OKC fans says he doesn’t foul bait much though so jaylen probably lying.
I mean if you working eyes, it’s not really that hard to see lol. This dude has mastered the art of flopping and the refs have a hard on for SGA. Can’t breathe on him
Thats a fact and those OKC fans are blinded with the reality…
Add also that Caruso guy… Their defense style is a scheme thats why they seems to be great at defense…
As wemby has said in an interview “… Ethical basketball”… Because nba teams knew the reality about OKC and how they get away with it
jaylen you’re not wrong. i did however watch you shoot 3⁄11 and 13 free throws against the cavs.
Lmao video taken down for “community guidelines” fuck out of here
Water is wet
Normalize calling out their bullshit
and I say that brown is a crazy hand checker and loves using both hands to stop drives
