I still can't believe all this really accelerated because some guy got under Kawai and he got hurt. The next season it was made very clear to offensive players that virtually any foul was a defensive foul, and over the last decade dozens of guys suddenly follow through a shot with a big forward kick/flail. Basically ending in this crap, where Reaves is actively trying to drop kick someone. Hell, now he's established that as a natural shooting motion. Can you even imagine trying that shit on an asphalt court with no ref? Always feels like that should be a decent baseline.

The ref : "tf you doin boi"
Just like Futbol players giving their Oscar acting performance of a life time, you don't want to be known for this shit. Future players: play honorably.
Needs scuba gear.
2k please put this sitting animation in
Initially, it looked like he was leaning back to take a fade away in anticipation of the defence stepping up, which it didn't.
It does seem to me that he kicked the foot out to get contact.
But he doesn't make any contact, and he fell. He could say "Hey, I was falling and I was flailing to get my balance, and there wasn't anybody in the way, so I didn't hurt/connect with anybody."
So... who care. Non need for a whistle here. No contact was made, he missed the shot, and he fell on his ass.
If he kicked somebody or made contact, then sure... whistle.
Tired of this weasel getting away with this pussy shit. Can't wait to see the look on his face when they t him up.
The flopping rules don't apply to the la lebrons.
It’s called an off-balance shot. Wtf
Can’t stand watching this dude because of his flopping.
LMAO thats a tech.
He was clearly anticipating the contact and was already setting up for it, but it never came. It's not like every shot he takes he's imitating Dieter from Sprockets or anything.
Between his uniform and his antics, he's rapidly approaching unlikeable status if he isn't already.
“Oh hell no”
He’s beed doing this since day 1 but gets praised for it glad other fanbases are seeing it now
Reaves is a serial flopper on both sides of the ball
Reaves is a flop merchant and should be publicly executed for being white
Yeah
Yes!
No. Regardless if it was a flop or not, he was off balance and needed to land safely. A no call is the right call.
He starts his flopping motions like almost a full second after the contact is made. Also it could be argued he’s trying to like karate kick the defender
