Davis attempts 5.9 free throws per game to score 22.1 points per game. The 5.9 attempts per game is tied for 24th in the league while Reed commits 2.0 fouls per game in his 13.4 minutes per game.

Davis is a top talent while Reed is a very good defender off the bench. He should be able to hold his own in this contest on Monday.

To be fair, I don't think he's flopping. I think that's just his body involuntarily screaming out of fear of injury

[–] AashyLarry@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

(His teammate is Joel Embiid)

[–] NbaAllDAYger@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He doesnt flop but Yell alot gotta lower my speakers .. its the same with Siakim you can hear them scream through the screen.

[–] junahn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

i mean if he said Lebron is a big flopper I would be like 'ok trashtalker' but AD? Interesting

[–] JohnWick94@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Its not about the FTs AD gets. Its about the Flopping Per Possession metric. AD's FPP hovers around .90. Leads the league in this advanced metric.

[–] MrAppleSpoink@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

My guy you literally play with Joel Embiid

[–] PsychologyOk6591@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His nickname is literally basketball

[–] LovetheNBA23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Scrub plays like 10 mins a game. He won’t need to worry about foul trouble.

[–] SouthShower6050@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD is hardly a flopper lmao

[–] biinroii01@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

reed telling it like it is

[–] ghoney04@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Did he think they asked about his teammate? Lol what

[–] Sleyeme@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is HILARIOUS! Man’s called AD a flopper with Embiid as his team mate. This dude is a comedian 😂😂😂.

Seriously though, both Lebron and AD can flop and literally get clotheslined and both combined attempts will be only half of what Embiid will have at the line for just screaming and falling to the ground.

[–] Inevitable-Paint-650@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Whatever I say would have been already said in the comments. I like how everyone is disagreeing with him

[–] Zachkah@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hilarious, considering who his teammate is.

[–] lalo1398@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

BBall Paul is mad when AD fall

[–] chevinke@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is going to be a fun match up can’t wait.

[–] thescottreid@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever considered that AD is like a clumsy giraffe with a chronically injured body and that’s why he’s constantly falling over?

[–] gratitudeisbs@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Most accurate description of AD lmao

[–] WernerHerzog69420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Truth teller

[–] bigcatass_assin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He absolutely is a flopper lmfao

[–] Phuddy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Says the guy whose teammate is Joel Embiid. What a joke

[–] seedeegeecdg@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Your teammate is Joel Embidd bro….

[–] erog84@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His screaming should count as flopping lol.

[–] kcmooo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Entire Lakers team honestly.

[–] brandon4444smith@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’ve seen Anthony Davis fall on a wide open layup attempt and miss without getting touched 😂. He falls on a lot of jump shots as well. He’s not the biggest flopper in the league but he definitely flops a lot.

[–] PnG_e@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Poor AD always catching strays he doesn't deserve.

[–] at_least_u_tried@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bball Paul turns into Steve Kerr when Embiid flops though

[–] SoKrat3s@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD does get 22.9% of his points from FTs. That is tied for 13th in the league ^((min 150 FGA)).

[–] suhar97@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] ChunkyMilkSubstance@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why BBall, why?

[–] Splittinghairs7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] romanticynicist@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This is the same Bball Paul who said his plan for last summer was to add 15 inches to his vertical.

I love the guy, but I’d take anything he says with a big grain of salt.

Say the same thing with different words and it wouldn’t create a headline: He’s good at creating contact and selling it to the refs, so I need to be careful to not foul.

[–] krs196@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

How is he saying this when he plays with Embiid?

[–] Lucieddreams@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] JackTuz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe not a textbook flopper, but flailer is right in the money lol. AD is a very dramatic player

[–] katsikisj@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s not wrong, every single “Star” player flops on almost every single shot attempt. It’s the most disgusting and annoying shit to watch, Julius Randle does it all the time and Jalen Brunson does it half the time.

[–] Jicama-Smart@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I love this energy

[–] RacinInTheStreet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think he just falls on the floor a lot.

[–] raceforseis21@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why would Paul Reed be concerned about foul trouble…?

[–] oldasshit@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD is a huge flopper. Remember when he flopped and fell over when Facu barely touched him? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Who is Paul Reed

[–] honeysmacks18@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

AD learned from the all time best flopper lebron

[–] Atl-Fan_FTS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Love seeing AD get recognition for being a big time flopper

[–] Jscott1423@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If you consider yelling “AYEEE” when doing a layup a flop.. then sure …

[–] N00BSGONNADIE@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Well he plays with Embiid he knows what quality flopping looks like

[–] iCOULDbewr0ng@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The irony is delicious

[–] Opposite_Hunter5048@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I misread 'Paul Reed' as Chris Paul lol

[–] theseustheminotaur@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Guys talk like they have no awareness of the guys on their own team. Its wild.

[–] Ben_Simmons_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I love Paul Reed
