Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

Harden is more like luka in terms of play style.But on being a freethrow mechant harden and sga are more similar.

Sga is more efficient than luka and harden and play defense.
 
Can't be; SGA has won a chip...
I saw Harden a lot here in Htown and let me tell you their games are basically the same. High usage percentage, dribble dribble dribble, travel step back (harden did more 3s to be sure but the move is the same) and then flop and flail when they miss.

I couldn’t even watch the finals last season bc of all the bullshit calls this dude got. I know people say SGA won a ring so he’s automatically better but the dude lived in the foul line in the finals and shot 70 FTs. It was disgraceful. The team shot 215 FTs overall and set like a 40 year record in attempts. Ref rigged is ref rigged to me
 

SGA with the (not-so) subtle jab at Wemby? This potential WCF matchup is going to be insane.
As the reigning MVP, Shai or any MVP for that matter, should never be campaigning for winning it again. Same for Wemby. He will win it eventually and after he does, he should never campaign again for why he should win it. At that point he's official big dawg of the league and things become different. Shai gave the correct reply that should have been given.
 
Adding to the FT controversy, I have gone through the top 20 scorers this season, and the percentage of points they scored from the line.

Shai isn't even the worst, with all-timer Harden still leading in this category (who once scored an incredible 32% of his points from the line in 2014-15 season), and Booker being #2. As pointed out in the analysis yesterday, Booker shoots a surprising number of FTs based on his shot diet, but I felt nobody really talks about it because nobody cares about the Suns.

Of this group, Wemby is actually #6 on the list of 20.
 
It's just disgusting to watch tbh. :st-lol:

These guys are the best athletes in the world. FTA is obviously an elite player and to watch him flop around or end up on the floor after 95% of his mid range jump shots is gross.

FWIW, it's just as bad when Vic and Jokic do it. But Luka and SGA are embarrassing since they're hunting for calls pretty much every possession tbh.
 
I don't blame any player for trying to get foul calls what's most frustrating to me is when refs continue to fall for obvious flops by notorious floppers. They should be given less benefit of the doubt, not more.

very good stat.. also wemby's fts are very different than shai's, wemby often gets fts when he has an open dunk, he gets fouled because the opponent can't do anything.. while sga mostly gets fts while the opposition is locking him up
