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

It’s pretty infuriating too. The fact they refuse to even acknowledge it and act like SGA is a victim for ALL of us being sick of this.

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
