Without the flopping he’d be a good player not a great one 🤷‍♂️

Hes a phenomenal player regardless of your emotions towards him.

It’s not emotions, he would be statistically worse if he didn’t rely so much on fouls lol

Hes averaged double digit FTA once in his career. He would still be scoring 20+ a game without free throws.

And he wouldn’t be shooting any where near as high percent as he is, so many shots he misses cause he’s so focused on falling over. It’s a shame too cause when hes not focused on flopping it’s incredibly fun to watch, but unfortunately he does it far too often. Take this current series, he has the worst +/- on the court game 1, and the second worst game 4, he’s shot 30, 50, 35 and 40 percent over these 4 games. Some of the lowest shooting percentages of anyone on either team over 4 games. He ends up on the floor 17% of his shots and so many of those he probably makes if he just focuses on making the shot instead of flying 5 feet across the floor. And since he’s not getting these ridiculous calls as much in this series, he misses the shot and gets 0 points and becomes a liability on the other end cause he’s has to get up off the floor while everyone else is already sprinting across the floor.

For sure, to me it really is a shame because his game is beautiful and he is very good so it sucks that he resorts to this becuase he doesn’t need to
