I never used to like guys like Damian Lillard & Darius Garland because of the way they foul bait. Some people say “don’t foul them then”, but the truth is they are looking for the foul. I love the way Kyrie, Steph, Jokic etc. play the game. 90% of the time they genuinely going for the basket and sometimes get fouled.
But after watching these guys who play the game fair get fouled and not get the calls, I now understand the foul baiters/floppers like Embid. It’s almost like you not gonna get the call if you don’t sell it. I don’t judge LeBron for his antics or Doncic for complaining out there every night. It’s tough.
There’s too much disparity between the refereeing & the players in terms of punishment. I Know this has been said multiple times already but there needs to be accountability too for and from the refs.
(I just read the rules, what is ‘NSFW’ ?)
I fucking love it. Prime Wade driving to the rim like a RB is my boner pill. I think driving for contact is viable strategy to remove certain opposing players from the game with foul trouble.
It absolutely is. Everyone that played organized basketball have learned it. Every couch would tell you who was in foul trouble and run plays to go at them. Either you can draw the foul or the defender is softer in his defense. Simple x's and o's
