No, he definitely does lol

He flails a lot, even if he doesnt end up on the ground 

He looked like the wacky inflatable tube guy almost every play against the wolves.

No way I’m watching what is sure to be legendary Jokic hater and first ballot hall of fame nba idiot Mark Jones comment on this.

Ethical flopping isn’t a thing.

Is that okay, Ton’? That I foul bait?

I like how you’re thinking

“Let the chips fall baby” - Chauncey “Mr. Big Shot” Billups

They are corrupted in the sense that they absolutely call even the softest foul for certain players while they ignore other players getting way more physical contact on their attempts. The whistle does not blow consistently for all the players.

Oh they definitely reward flopping

Sorry but I can call a flop or a real foul watching on TV ⁸⁄₁₀ times. These guys getting paid hundreds of thousands doing this as their career need to stop benefiting from this “oh they’re human and they make mistakes, they can’t get every call correct”. They need to be better, or be replaced.

A no call on an actual foul is healthier for the game than a call on a flop/phantom foul. Players can and do play through contact. What we have to stop is the ridiculous flailing and throwing up nonsense with no chance in hell of going on just because players are foul baiting. If we stop rewarding that then players will make moves with the real intent to score. The game will be better.

Let’s be honest, the brunson complaining is not that bad

You just described a Lebron peek.

Bullshit take. Jokic was born with scratches on his arm, and I have it on good authority he cuts himself in the locker room when the team is down!

Agreed, but it’s not like jokic flopping and foulbaiting wasn’t a thing back then either. So many jokic flops are years ago lmao, but I get that bam is focused on their matchup probably

What you said is exactly what I’ve noticed snd idk why youre being downvoted

There’s no rhyme or reason lol mfs just see upvotes or downvotes an go from there, we went from Shai leading the league in drives for 5 years straight not mattering at all in reference to his FTs, to now denis flopping is ethical because he leads the league in drives, the only thing that factors into their assessments is whether they like the player or not

How would you call this ?

Oh I do

Greatest player in basketball history doesn’t even watch games and yet you and 27 other people think this is somehow a gotcha

Jokic is one of the most egregious floppers in the league

I mean are we supposed to ignore some of the borderline takes/quotes/all star votes that NBA players have always had because you like this one ?

That’s not what i said, he clearly doesn’t watch NBA games, otherwise how do you think Jokic of all people doesn’t flop?

no. theres clearly a difference. one thins is being fouled and try to sell that foul and another thing is only looking for the foul by flopping

well a big guy like him does look goofy especially with expression, but i find others more funny and goofy. like embiid selling contact from trae young and full diving six feet from contact.

did i say he doesn’t do either or both?

There’s a difference between flopping and selling contact. Last playoffs Jokic was getting hacked, like majorly hacked, nearly ever possession against OKC. He wasn’t “flopping” for the sake of flopping. It was a reaction to the very obvious fouls trying to get the refs to blow their whistle.

That didn’t happen though because the outcome was already determined once Foster was called in. Same story against Indiana.

lol what? you can just google these things you know. flopping is when there’s no contact or anything but you exaggerate and act out as if you got contact, selling contact is when you try to exaggerate a reaction from contact so that officials would notice. the difference is that flopping most of the time has no or little contact to be called for so they exaggerate the reaction and get a free call.
