He’s generational, no, all-timer at drawing fouls. TBH it’s impressive, I mean it is part of the game no matter how much fans might dislike it.

The part that is annoying is when his shot isn’t falling and then he hunts fouls. I get it as a strategy - slow the game down, get points, but it’s annoying to watch.

Most of the time he’s fouled as much as any other dude who does the stuff he does, if you look at historical comparisons or even modern guys who play the same.

He also sometimes will draw fouls on guys who are guarding him in precarious positions, which force them to guard him differently and gives him easier baskets
