Gravity Hurts

@c4_photon85457 @MavsStan41 So many? Maybe 1 he tripped Jokic that’s it. His back was turns an was falling with Marant and Booker tripped over his foot. You act like he swung an elbow at someone’s head!

@MavsStan41 Funny thing was this was a good hustle play by Dort it’s just he has so many other antics that this one is immediately questionable

I feel so bad for Lu Dort, he’s somehow always involved in these types of plays where he accidentally injures another player.

@Elguaje50 @USMCSooner No you don’t want this to be the case so you’re making excuses, it’s always been a foul! This is reaching, it’s an emotional reaction. You are projecting your feeling and saying a timeless play is outdated to feel better.

@USMCSooner Si pero esto no va de Kobe. Los tiempos cambian y las reglas se adaptan (o deberían hacerlo) a ellos. También en los 90 se daban de hostias y por eso no decimos que sea una conducta normal...

@FoxSportsRadio @robparkerMLBbro @OddCoupleFSR No it’s media(the ones who never played at this level) and opposing fans. His peers respect him!

“SGA IS THE RODNEY DANGERFIELD OF THE NBA…HIS GREATNESS GETS NO RESPECT FROM HIS PEERS” 👀 @robparkerMLBbro EXPLAINS WHY SGA CONTINUES TO BE DISRESPECTED BY HIS PEERS🔥 @OddCoupleFSR

@TheAnfieldLaker @Underdog @UnderdogNBA Yet a San Antonio players feet was underneath him every time he come down they’re subtly being dirty

@Underdog @UnderdogNBA dawg flops on every single shot

Spurs fans chanting “FLOPPER” at SGA 😅

@Underdog @UnderdogNBA Well, I’ll never use this trash ass website

Every time Shai Gilgeous-Alexander falls on the floor tonight, we will give away $100 to a random entrant who quote tweets this with "unethical hoops". Must be following both @Underdog and @UnderdogNBA to qualify.

@Beefshala @NBA__Courtside SGA isn’t ruining the game! You act like every time he shoots he’s looking for a foul yet he never complains for one. Why is that? Is it because when he falls, he’s trying to save his ankles and knees from the defenders feet under him? NBA is not helping the smallest market win.

@NBA__Courtside It makes me sad. I used to watch like 50% of the NBA playoffs. Now you got SGA and Brunson on opposite coasts ruining the game. I watch for a little... then the bull shit starts and I check out. I come back for the last five minutes.

Jay Williams says he can’t root for the Thunder because of all the foul baiting: “As a fan of the game, I just want to see the game respected. There are times where I watch OKC play, I don’t feel like they respect the process of the game. It’s too much foul baiting. When you fall down 95% of every shot you take in the 4th, I get physiologically exhausted”

@JahlilWill You call it flopping he’s not arguing or even crying to the refs for a call. If a body is close to you, that means their feet are under you. I think people are looking at this the wrong way. He’s never complained about calls.

Here's my issue for defenders of SGA. You say he's just selling the calls because the refs miss so many, but what happens if a 7'4" guy starts doing the same? Do you know how egregious the game would look if Wemby were flopping and flailing every single time he received contact? Technically, it would be fair game since others are doing it, too. But nobody wants to watch that. The answer to SGA's bait shouldn't be "well, everyone else can do it if they want." This is an entertainment product, and it's popular because of the athletic feats, high-octane hoops, and intense defense. Not free throws. Not fooling the refs. Contrary to what some may say, the destination isn't the only thing that matters. The journey is crucially important. We should encourage players to stop baiting. Not asking others to join in.

@hoopstonite @_JasonLT @TheVolumeSports Let’s be clear here, nobody was grabbing Wembanyama while he was shooting and you are calling this different? They’re both off the ball.

Yes, SGA is getting grabbed by Castle off-ball… but there’s a huge difference between that and when Hartenstein is holding Wemby while he’s attempting to block a shot on-ball

@TrophiesTx @OkieFBfan You know it’s funny. The fans are the only ones saying that OKC playing dirty not one former or current player has come out and said anything of the sort sounds like somebody’s got sand in their vagina.

@OkieFBfan Now it’s middle school huh? Shut your fat bitch ass up… your entire team plays unethically dirty and the world just saw it. Now you’re outmatched, so let’s mop the floor with your jerseys and cry for every flop that’s not called. Top of the organization, down to the bottom

The Spurs are a Wemby 30 foot miss from being 0-2 Once again, sports journalist are a complete joke ran by people who don’t have knowledge outside of middle school ball

@PacersPostUp He’s also had two and three guys guarding him the whole playoffs! What is this proving?

SGA has all-time guard talent. But you don’t get respected like AI, Wade, and Kobe when a large part of your game is built around falling to the floor and foul baiting. The NBA deserves blame for rewarding it, but SGA should be embarrassed for abusing it. Shows 0 integrity.

@DaveO01464667 @ArchySports @Riben300 @AshNicoleMoss @bradbotkincbs @CBSSports You mean, he fell on every single shot in a video showing him falling on shots? Not all, but most of those were legitimate fouls. And he shot 24 times in that game not five.

@ArchySports @Riben300 @AshNicoleMoss @bradbotkincbs @CBSSports he fell on the floor like every single shot

is calling SGA "a flopper" fair? i say no. "are you exaggerating a legitimate foul or are you exaggerating a phantom call? there's a difference and one is simply the art of manipulation ... and that's basketball." a spicy debate between myself & @bradbotkincbs on @CBSSports.

@legendofchoke @AllDayThunder1 Look, I know you guys have sand in your vagina because somebody adopted your guarding style, but you’re whining and crying just makes you look like a bitch

The NBA doesn’t want to hand out extra challenges for a reason, it would just expose how bad the officiating looks when the Thunder are involved.

@SpursReporter @maxkellerman @RichPaul4 x.com/mynameis_kayle…

“This is all on video… Shai is flopping… Hartenstein and Chet are fouling Wemby all the time… @MaxKellerman calls it like he sees it but Oklahoma City refuses to acknowledge. He tells @RichPaul4 that either the refs are HORRIBLE or they’re doing as instructed. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (🎥 via: @RichPaul4)

@PorVida210 @LakeShowYo How many times have you seen him complain about a no call or throw a fit if he don’t get the call he just runs down to the other end of the floor. You can’t say that for most anybody else in the NBA.

@LakeShowYo OKC fans saying this is 90s physical basketball while having SGA on their team

refs definitely had money on OKC 😭

@Jadleong @LakeShowYo Actually, the problem is both teams are doing the exact same things. It’s just upset, vaginaly irritated fans, throwing a fit about only one side.

@LakeShowYo Everyone can see that. The problem is how to hold them accountable.

@TheOnlyWidow @LakeShowYo Nice angle now show the one where you can see that his hand is straight and didn’t clamp down on his hair to pull it

@LakeShowYo I mean. Clearly the refs eyes don’t work.

@Caseyversteeg @RussFcb Quit crying like little bitches for matching the physicality!

@RussFcb Now play tough on both ends instead of turning into soccer players with vaginas

"I've never seen a more physical team than OKC" man up puscs, Wemby can handle it

@im_cosmowoods @HaterReport Now read that back to yourself! Slowly. If something seems too crazy to be true. It’s probably a fabrication of your own mind. Logically why would any of this happen? What’s more likely you getting upset by a physical team or all the stuff you said?

@HaterReport The league is backing a small market team, with unlikable players that flops and plays dirty. The NBA everybody.

Wemby is the next face of the NBA but for some reason instead of protecting him they’d rather protect a team generally hated around the entire basketball community for flopping, foul baiting, and dirty fouls.

@youstolemine86 @hTownLowDown @Shane00 His finger got caught in what ever that is on his head. He didn’t close his hand or even look at him and Castle flops at everything. Calculated is a good word when you look at your target and then strike. Harts fouls are fouls but not assault Wimpys was assault in a literal sense

@hTownLowDown @Shane00 "Calculated elbow to the throat of an opponent" You guys act like Wemby was out there choreograping a fight movie. Plus, he was EJECTED 🤣 Hartenstein is allowed to foul all game and pull people's hair without an ejection (or foul).

You know they have nothing when they bring up a player diving for a loose ball as an example of a dirty play

@LeagueInsiderr @SportsCenter Wembanyama gets away with so much crap. Don’t even act like Oklahoma City is the bad guy find some new material?

@SportsCenter The only way OKC can win is by cheating, flopping or the opponent's star is injured. 👀 I did not know Hartenstein was that dirty. Or maybe Dort taught him.

Wemby played until EXHAUSTION in the Spurs’ Game 2 loss 😳
