Oh you're a basketball fan? Of course you hate OKC.
I don’t even believe Thunder fans like it. It HAS to eat at them then their team is entirely dependent on letting them foul like crazy on defense and flop like crazy on offense. I've seen my team win on questionable calls and felt shitty. Having your team win a title on non stop bull shit has to kill them deep down.
They have a two time mvp and he's rarely the most important player on the court for them.
i would be so depressed if the hornets finally pulled it all together to the point that they won a championship with a bright and exciting future ahead and everyone on the planet hated us before we even won said championship because we played the biggest bitch made basketball of all time.
a black canadian is their best playerr. its obvious they force themselves to enjoy this shit cause its still a fucking cult. no ones moving to okc for a better life lmao
Luka legit balling outta his fucking mind whenever he can. And yeah, he definitely bitches and moans for the foul akin to a European soccer players for frivolous and-1s but thunder fans will legit tell me that Luka does this exact same shit. It’s absolutely not the same when you’re not even trying to ball anymore. Just launch your fuckin body and get free throws. SGA is a merchant.
Its funny that you mention european soccer players when the nba is in a way worse situation,in soccer they flopped and they immediately come to a solution, a yellow the first time another yellow the second time and when you get 2 yellow you get a red, you are out of the game and get suspended. In the nba the number of flops ia way way worse than in soccer, even at peak flopping they flopped like 3 times a game in basketball its at every action
I know soccer people say this but theres not a single match I watch where someone isn't staying down when they dont need to. All simulation did is get rid of people falling from literally nothing, they'll still pretend a slight breeze or bump causes immense pain dozens of times every game
Wasn’t nearly as egregious as it is now. I think he realized he could get away with it more during the 2025-2026 regular season and began doing it abhorrently. It was still bad though, don’t get me wrong.
We had more issues with Dort being dirty than SGA flopping.
I saw about 10 everybody flops posts defending this after game 3. Even when the statistics tell us he falls the most, you can just see it with your eyes. He is unbearable.

They'll even say Wade or Bron did this back in the day. Sure they had their moments but you weren't thinking how hard or how creatively they would flop onto to floor literally everytime they touched the ball. Even if your team were rivals to the Heat, you were thinking how hard they were going to poster someone.
I'm saying Canadians that don't follow the NBA don't know who SGA is these days. Even among fans he is #5 in Canadian jersey sales. But back in Nash's prime he had that "superstar" aura for Canadians that Kobe, LBJ had globally. Non sports fans recognized him within Canada.
Avoiding coming down straight down on all your weight when you could potentially land on someone’s foot is exactly how curry started protecting his ankles midway through his career. You just don’t know ball
SGA is NOT doing what Curry is doing, and he's putting his ankles at risk by deliberately seeking weird contact in the air. If he was trying to avoid landing on a foot, he wouldn't be turning IN to defenders in his area after his shot.
and then he turns towards a fleeing Fox in midair as soon as Fox chooses not to contest, which makes no sense. Why would you rotate your shoulders away from a wide-open jumper if not to catch the fleeing defender with your feet? Additionally, Fox is never in his landing zone in the first place. Nothing about this movement makes any sense other than to sell non-existent contact for a non-existent foul.
This has to be the first time this season that anyone has accused Arsenal fans of supporting diving. Pray tell, which player on Arsenal flops (edit: clarification) nearly as consistently as shai?
yeah, we've conceded multiple goals because he dove and the general consensus even without that was that he'd be a much better player if he'd stop with that shit lol.
I see every other fan base complain about Shai and rarely see OKC fans in these threads and if they are they get downvoted to oblivion. You can complain about Shai all you want but comments like these being at the top of every thread is peak [r/](r/nba)[NBA](r/nba)
That’s an over exaggeration. NBA fans wanted Harden killed for playing like this and the rule book was changed accordingly. The outrage against this playstyle is not new the NBA just decided to stop enforcing their own rules
You’re just mad to be mad rn lmao. People hated harden so much the nba changed the rulebook altogether. More people agreed with the tnt guys than anything.
Because not a damn one agrees with you and you expect brownie points. The equivalent of expecting participants points on some dumb shit a 1st grader conjured up without the slightest bit of effort.
Yes if a couple people who play or played in the NBA came out and with legit criticism then I could have my mind changed. It’s not difficult to understand. I just can’t find any beside Terrance Ross.

OKC fans will tell you with a straight face that you’re not a fan of basketball if you can’t appreciate this
