Why do we normalize players throwing their t-shirts/trousers to the floor instead of handing them to the assistant?

(when there's a sub)

I can't find a gif, but the player's entitlement is infuriating :banghead: :banghead:

It's bad luck to politely hand anyone your warmups.

We got people on the general board lecturing us about what type of behavior we are normalizing... Did the Lakers get knocked out of the playoffs or something?

Its swag and great tv ratings! Like a "cool kid" moment. All it needs is accompanying music.

Comapred that if players respectfully fold and hand the said article to the ball boy...

I always left my shirt on "my chair' and tossed my pants at the same chair, never wanted a coach or manager touching my stuff...i also hate when they just throw shirts, towels and water bottles and act like "oh the water B**** will get it no worries"

I saw Plumplee doing that when he could have just tossed it to the guy. But he didn't even attemp to... It's cringe
