Unreal lmao

that’s stupid. there was legit contact that he exaggerated. you could even view it as he genuinely lost his balance and made the fall safer by extending it.

but fine him as the first flop fine of the season when there are so many worse contenders? Jalen Suggs legit acted like he got shot in the head when he pulled jokics hand into his face

It’s bullshit but we expect it

It’s still a flop even if it’s actually a foul? Like, I get that he wasn’t really pushed but it was a foul anyway right?

Has Embiid been called out/fined for flopping yet this year?!

I disagree with this. If it’s not called a flop when it happens, don’t fine them

Brook Lopez didn’t get fined and he acted like Trae was bigger than he was when they had minimal contact
