On KD's Rip Move

The article points out how KD draws fouls with Rip Move, which help rack in a lot of free throw points for KD. From time to time I hear people criticize this kind of play as a tacky, gay move. Nevertheless, I appreciate KD for using this technique to bring his basketball talent and skills into play under current NBA rules.

He is wise beyond his years. He can get to the line at a high rate without having to destroy his body by getting hacked at the rack like an Allen Iverson. It helps his arms are 9 feet long so he can almost create the contact to.

Honestly it's a brilliant move. I don't see people complaining when Paul Pierce does it.

If you're stupid enough as a player to stick your hand in KD's face knowing damn well he's known for the rip move you deserve the foul.
