I was born in the 90’s so I wasn’t watching the classic clash of BIG men going at it under the rim, but this matchup tonight between Joker and VALANCIUNAS seems like some good ol fashioned tough playing basketball to me….

Flop
I just like seeing Jokic take it strong and dunk
I don’t give a fuck. “flopping” is a dumb ass foul to patch over dumb ass reffing incentivizing players to act like dumb asses.
On your head boy
Sending to Steve Kerr, he must see this.
I dunno, I’d rather that not be called a flop
They should be calling flops on foul baiters instead.
Not a flop if you only look at that single moment of contact.
100% flop if you take it in context of the plays leading up to the contact.
someone please give Valanciunas an Oscar statuette
Not real Flop, but he was trying hard to sell it… which clearly isn’t an offensive foul
Anytime a player needlessly throws their arms around, it’s a flop.
Does a fish flop on a deck?
Valanciunas might one day develop wings the way he was flapping those long arms of his…
The first one no, the second one yes
I’m all for legislating flopping out of the game, but the NBA is doing it wrong. Guards throw their head back and scream during incidental contact, and they are rewarded for it. But what does the NBA do instead? T up big men for accentuating contact (Not a flop) when bigs are banging down low. How about we make the rip-through a no call? How about we don’t reward star guards for baiting?
Seems like a good no call, tbh.
Super flop
Love to see my guy being this aggressive around the rim
It was the best flop of the year so far. Lebron might even be able to learn from it. Joker was like, where did he go? oh well, I’ll dunk it then.
Joker got the better end of the flops. He got to the charity stripe right after that with a total flop. Imagine Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain doing battle for a decade with this BS!?
Total flop. If you actually thought you were going to fall backwards on your ass she would never raise your arms high in the air you would put them lol behind you so you could break your phone. It’s an automatic reaction.
That is only a flop against one of the biggest players in the league. Anyone outside of like 3 players and Jokic would have sent them into the 3rd row.
Yes, but this call is not consistent so I wish they’d just get rid of it. Stupid ass rule.
naw, you try guarding a 290lb monster in the post.
