NBA - Main

He’s gonna make the all valley tournament

I don't know. That leg kick looked like a natural rebounding motion to me. /s

No, he was just off balance

Spike Dudley would b proud ...

Already testing the limits of the Lakers refs lol

I mean it is preseason, I don't know if they are really gonna fine people for flopping when the games don't count

Yuck. I'm not saying he's bad, but this guy is wildly, wildly overrated. If he wasn't on the Lakers he would just be considered another nondescript white guy.

100% absolutely. Plays like this just arent real basketball to me. One of James Hardens many gifts that he has blessed us with.

Great defensive awareness he will flop like a fish

Shit like this ruins the game of basketball

He pulled the chair

They should if they want to enforce the new flopping rules. I will believe it when I see it.

Tell me you are fascinated with anything that is Lakers without telling me........

This should be two techs, immediate ejection. The techs for flopping should absolutely count toward the 16 you need to get suspended as well. It's the only way dudes will stop this horseshit.

Most overrated player in the nba

No flop. Draws contact and starts to embellish the foul to.get a shot off and create some space. The right leg kick out is his efforts to balance himself and derive power for his fadeaway. Just knows how to use his body which you get good at being that size ans competing in the NBA every other night...

I think it's fine. He was anticipating contact so he fell like that. He just wasn't contacted.

That's why taylor swift would never ____ him.

That's a high kick if I ever saw one.

I'm sorry, but i can't stand Austin Reeves with all that floppin he does. Or any player matter of fact that flop left and right.

Embarrassing

He he was more concerned with chucking the ball to the rim than gathering his balance and putting up a good shot. That's not flopping. It's just rushing the shot for the purpose of foul baiting.

Yes it should 1,000%. When they do this shit it is so ridiculous. That’s why a lot of people can’t stand this generation of basketball. I’m a reaves fan and going after cheap fouls is dirty. T them all up until they get it.

Might as well figure out what you can get away with now

Clown shit man.

Typical Austin Reaves play tbh

Embarrassing how this guy gets so much praise. Good sure but top 5 FT merchant in the league. I hope referees start ignoring this nonsense.

It's a shame when a dude's shooting motion interferes with his kicking-Grayson-Allen-in-the-face mechanics

It looks like he was trying to kick Saric in the face.

He didn't actually flop, just tried to draw a foul, then fell awkwardly because he was off balance.

People just don't know good shooting techniques when they see it.

Perfect opportunity to kick Grayson Allen

The fact that Lakers fans defend this tells you all you need to know about their fanbase.

2 years in and he's already the biggest flopper/foul baiter in the league. Fuck him and fuck the Lakers

He learned everything he needed to know from LeFlop and Street Clothes

not seeing what everyone else is. looks like he just pulled up for his jumper a little awkwardly

That's some soccer level flopping right there.

I'm fine with the non-call. He tried it, didn't touch his defender with his kick out leg, and Suns had the advantage because of the failed attempt. Now if he would've touched the defender with his leg, or complained to the refs more about not getting the call afterwards, then he should've gotten T-ed up.

Aomine Fadeaway

These players are embarrassing to watch , thought it was basketball not soccer

Bring back Charles Oakley, Rick Mahorn, or Bruce Bowen type guys to fucking put Austin Reaves in his place.

I havent watched any sports since I was a teenager but god damn ban this shit already

Marcus smartesque

He should be suspended for the next game
