**Draymond:**
21 flagrants in 970 total games played (15 flagrants in 813 regular season games played and 6 flagrants in 157 playoff games played)

**Embiid:**23 flagrants in 489 games played (16 flagrants in 433 regular season games and 7 flagrants in 56 playoff games)

Also has more flagrants in the playoffs than Draymond in almost 3x less games.

    Meaningless when we all know Draymond is immune to getting called for flagrants.

  2. achickenquesadilla

    Wholesome chungus Josh Hart had the same amount of flagrant fouls this season in 81 games as Bam Adebayo has in his 489 game career

    Embiid is absolutely dirty as hell, but Green is notorious for getting away with blatant attempts to injure on a regular basis.

    The amount of Sixers fans I’ve seen trying to defend what he did tonight is ridiculous. I’m a Sixers fan myself and didn’t watch the game because I had work. I saw the highlight of him yanking Mitch robs leg and I thought he would’ve been ejected.

  5. Embid reaaaaally wants this NBA championship to shut up France.

    Hmmm maybe it’s because they don’t call flagrant on Green as much as they should.

    They should both have more tbh. Refs let them get away with a lot. Techs too

  8. The_Shitpost_Centre

    Honestly last night was a truly generational game. On top of the midair leg grab that should have been a flagrant 2 he had a groin kick and hit someone in the head, plus spent half the game shouting at refs. Draymond would be proud

  9. bbbryce987

    Unsure how he doesn’t get the “repeat offender” punishments. 2 playoffs in a row he had a play that deserved an ejection but somehow got off with a slap on the wrist

    Biggest crybully in the league and I’ve been saying it for years.

  11. A lot of Green’s flagrants don’t get called though

  12. I mean that’s because draymond gets away with it, at least they call the flagrants on Embiid?

    Dray commits flagrants but they become common fouls, if anything this post is a knock on the league protecting draymond

  13. eccedentesiastph

    Apparently, he also has a 50-point game, so that absolves how dirty he was.

    Sixers fans: 👉😑👈 “LALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU”

    I was thinking this watching all the videos this morning. If Draymond had done what Embiid did last night people would be calling for a 10 game suspension.

  16. HellaranDavarr

    League better make some statement on it. Absolutely disgusting

  17. Ilikesporks_

    to be fair green gets away with dirty plays all the time. he didn’t even get called for a foul on that shit he did to patty mills

  18. HipnotiK1

    people focused on the leg grab but he also hit two different knicks players in the groin. one with a blatant knee that should have been a flagrant – meaning his leg grab flagrant 1 would have led to an ejection, and later he kicked mitch in the groin with a draymond special (smacked him in the face on the same play). also hip checked OG late in the game and wasn’t even called for a foul. also “fell” on mitch on another play and hit ihart in the head on another play (this was incidental but still)

  19. Embiid is a crybaby that usually has things go his way in terms of refereeing. When he doesn’t get his way he throws tantrums and hurts people by being a 320 pound crybaby.

    In reality drsymond probably deserves like 5x-10x the techs he has actually received, but both guys are treated with kid gloves.

    Most influential team ever ? Curry changed the game, role players like DLo putting up Klay Thompson numbers in the playoffs and even the reigning MVP is following Dray’s footsteps

  21. acmilan12345

    We should all be blaming the league for allowing Embiid to get away with it. He should’ve been ejected yesterday, just as he should’ve been ejected when he kicked out at Claxton last season.

    Interesting you posted this without your Warriors flair on.

    You’re not wrong but why are you hiding your a Warriors fan?

  23. Splinter_Fritz

    Tbf Green should have more flagrants than he currently has.

  24. HaiImLoki

    R/NBA in overdrive whine mode.

    The delicious salt

  25. extraspecialdogpenis

    Draymond is the Mendoza line for flagrants.

  26. TurtlePower5289

    Why we letting this guy on Team USA? We want this scum representing us on the world stage?
