its been part of the game for so long now, at some point you gotta live with it. And JB is not even in the top20 foulbaiters in the league
^^sadly true
I mean its always been apart of the game, they just used to say it was clever, but now that players like Harden and Embiid have abused it completely to basically make a mockery of the sport at times, its become something seen as negative.
You can go back to clips from the 70s and watch players pumpfake and jump into the defender and get an And1, etc. So its always been there.
Yeah I agree with this take tbh. It just seems so much more egregious and embellished now.
