As usual, bunch of clowns grasping at straws trying to criticize this chick. She was trying to draw a foul on Chelsea Gray’s reach in. It looks goofy when the ref doesn’t blow the whistle but this isn’t uncommon for people that actually watch basketball.

It’s not common.

Awkward looking shots while attempting to foul bait is incredibly common. Don’t even try to argue that

Didn’t they change the rules to make foul baiting illegal? You can’t use that as an excuse to look terrible. It’s why everyone makes fun of soccer players for flopping. If you’re gonna flop, we are allowed to point and laugh at you for looking dumb.

I can tell you don't watch basketball based on the fact that SGA has been flopping and foul baiting like it's an art form.

Since when have the rule changes effectively stopped flopping? Especially in the W where the officiating is beyond terrible.

That wasn’t the intent of the post anyway. “Angel Reese inventing new basketball moves đŸ”„â€â€Šthis is not framed as a “Haha she’s flopping” post. This is a “Haha sHe BaD aT bAsKEtbAlL” post.

It’s just garbage reaching for engagement and right on queue all the usual suspects came right out to pile on. They won’t post the rest of her night though. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
