That’s not how it works. Players don’t receive turnovers for shot clock violations.


It doesn't stop him from doing it anyway, if only as a show of support.

On the list i think the biggest surprise is Curry he seems to be one of the biggest showboaters in the league. He even is trying to patent a victory celebration that has been done a million times before.

I know the award isnt that big a deal but i wish more thought went into it.

Look at the year he got it however. He wasn't showboating way back then....

I'd like to see his post-NBA career include an action movie where him and Jason Momoa team up as two brothers and fight off an alien invasion or something.

He plays tough, but not dirty.
Picks guys up from the floor even the opposing players.
He doesn't mouth off.
And he is very effective in the right schemes.

The actual biggest fish rarely is. Helps that he comes from a huge/close family.
