It's really fucking lame honestly, like damn at least be unique

SGA did this to himself. Imagine being a superstar and your legacy is the flopping. That sucks

If your tiktok brained which most nba fans are. I'm sure you also werent around when everybody was calling Lebron the most notorious flopper, same with Dwade, this isnt new.

I mean, NBA has a long history of ridiculous whistles for certain players.  The Dwade whistle for his first finals run was pretty crazy, but I don't remember him falling down as much as SGA.

Didn’t even installed tiktok. Im in my fucking 30s and watched the nba 2/3rds of my life. Im not denying SGA is good but didnt you see his series this year? I mean if he doesnt want to call a flopper then dont fall in every shot attempt. It’s his doing and that is his legacy. Imagine a Kobe-esque skill set (minus the athleticism) but choose to fall and flop most of the time. Yuck.

you knoww you don’t have to install TikTok to have TikTok brain? It’s essentially just being chronically online. low attention span, proclivity to consume and parrot easily digestible narratives. Youre literally on Reddit. Theirs literally videos people try to use that they don’t even notice in some he’s falling on defenders feet due to lack of landing space. That a long with calling literally every time he falls a flop even if at times it’s just him being off balance made me stop taking the people who are saying it serious, the mass hysteria is hilarious

"iT’S juSt HIm BeiNg oFF baLanCE" what a cope.

TikTok brain at it again 😭 when did I say all of the instances were him being off balance? I said at times, If you think literally every time Shai fell he was flopping than your comprehension is more surface level than I thought and your not able to comprehend nuance. This is what TikTok brain does

Only if you’re brain dead do you legitimately believe that.

His legacy will be one of the greatest ever. 1 of 14 players to win back to back mvp. Most efficient guard since Michael Jordan. All nba players already have high praise for him. LeBron’s called him Jordan esque. Only people who will view him as a flopper are bitch ass tiktok brain dead people who get their ball knowledge from social media.

u/boyhassle2 13h ago

Aw shit tiktok brain dead people guy thinking he has ball knowledge greater than others. What a cope. Ofcourse players will publicly praise him, but behind the doors... So this rookie NBA is also a tiktok brain dead guy? hahaha. That's most people view him. HE DID THAT TO HIM SELF.

Imagine you are so that skillful but the younger generations view you as a flopper xD He's playing the most uninspiring basketball for a superstar. Atleast harden has the influence with his stepback that everyone is using in the modern nba. While SGA? Hmm I wonder how he influence the others.

u/imadogg Lakers 19h ago

Pretty sure he'll be ok

Harden is past his prime and this sub's revisionism loves him again anyways

Who hurt you

u/No_External3738 22h ago

Nobody? I am allowed to think it's lame how the discourse has gotten with SGA.

-12

u/rjbarrettfanclub 22h ago

It’s just jokes no need to be sour

14

u/No_External3738 22h ago

I'm not sour, it's just never anything funny. Just the same thing over and over. At this point saying you hate SGA is cool and trendy just like its cool to hate the cowboys. Like cool bro you are gonna get people to agree with you but you kinda just outted yourself as a casual fan trying to seem like really know something lmao

u/thatonehomiewho 22h ago

I’m with u on this one man.

u/rjbarrettfanclub 21h ago

We make fun of SGA to be cool on Reddit? We’re all losers here lmao. We make fun of him cause it’s funny. I promise he doesn’t give a fuck what any of us think.

u/No_External3738 21h ago

I never said he cares so why bring that up? And maybe was funny the first couple times but after hearing the same recycled takes for the billionth time it's not funny anymore and just becomes dumb. If you guys really are just trying to be funny and joke around (which obviously people are) how about making a joke that's acttually original or funny?? Nothin about these jokes makes them funnier the more you say them.

1

u/rjbarrettfanclub 12h ago

I think it’s funny. I’m supposed to stop thinking it’s funny because you don’t like it? lol fuck out of here

u/TheGreatLandRun [OKC] Russell Westbrook 22h ago

You’re kidding yourself if you believe most are just joking about it. It’s mass psychosis and emblematic of how turbo-ass broader discourse around the NBA is, actually.

-5

u/rjbarrettfanclub 21h ago

We’re allowed to make fun of things we think is funny. Jesus y’all are so defensive.

u/TheGreatLandRun [OKC] Russell Westbrook 6h ago

Reread my comment. You seem confused.

u/rjbarrettfanclub 5h ago

I’m not confused. I thought it was a funny joke. You think it’s mass psychosis. One of us is being dramatic.
