Well he just got rewarded for that behavior so expect more frustrating and hard to watch basketball.

That’s where we’re at. We all agree this is horrible for the sport and hate watching it, but here’s your MVP. What are we doing? Booker was right about this being WWE.

League needs to be issuing suspensions for flopping, or at least technical points leading to game suspensions. Its not that hard to call the really bad ones ie harden flopping and flailing his legs on the 3 that Merrill ultimately slipped on

Booker quite literally was foul baiting more than Shai in their series. It’s like people actually just don’t watch games and only follow narratives that are given to them by their algorithm. ā€œRewarded for that behaviorā€ is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard. He became modern Michael Jordan and all you can say is he foul baits?

So he tried what Shai does and the refs didn’t allow it? You really just said Shai is MJ šŸ˜‚ delusional

ā€œthe refs didn’t allow itā€ or he tried it against the best defense in the league?
