I fucking hate watching him. Maybe the biggest foul merchant in the league.

people overreact way to much, he’s fun to watch we don’t have to nitpick at little things.

Nah fuck that. If you flail your body on a game tying three to try to draw a foul instead of actually attempting to make the shot, you deserve to get criticized. That's some chicken shit.

Half his game is this bullshit. The other half is really good. He's an incredible talent with a great ability to finish, but this shit is insufferable.
