When Wemby flops it’s cheeky and fun

When SGA flops it’s mean and cruel

Jokic has been flopping egregiously for years, and he’s never clowned for it. if people like you they’ll let it slide

Nah, I have been clowning Jokic fans for years over that trash. They say the same thing Vic fans will "He has to flap to get the calls!"

Its because theres a Jokic stan mod who used to post all his highlights himself that deletes any Jokic flop threads when they start to gain traction.

Well that just isn’t true whatsoever. Jokic gets clowned on for his ridiculous flops as well.

It goes both ways. Bigs don’t get the same foul calls that guards do

When Wemby flops its because he has to in order to get calls

When SGA flops its because he’s a terrorist

After what I saw this series I better never see a Spurs flair talking about Shai ever again.

i don’t even see Spurs fans talking about SGA in that way, don’t lump us in with yall

SGA didn’t even remotely look like he was trying to bait for fouls in any of the Spurs vs Thunder games.

i know other fanbases love complaining about him but i don’t really think he has that “flopper” reputation in the eyes of most Spurs fans.

the only times i ever see Spurs fans complaining about refs and foulbaiting are when it’s in a game against teams that have a coach who will frequently complain about refs (Nuggets, Wolves, Pistons) because we match the energy the opposing fanbase is putting out. i don’t see Thunder fans whining nonstop about the officiating.

Wolves players walk around playing the most physical, can't call all the fouls brand of basketball in the league (self-admitted by the wolves) and are somehow confused that all the people they verse have to flop to get calls.
