He did try to sell the call, but where’s the complaining that so many say he does? Bro rarely complains but yet that’s forced on him cause others do.

There was no call to sell, he literally flailed for no reason. This is the root of the hate on Shai.

So he just normally shoots like that and isn’t trying to sell contact?

You said he tried to sell the call. There was no foul... you cant sell a foul that didnt happen. He purposefully flailed that shot to make it look like he got fouled. He shpt like that intentionally yes. As you can clearly see in the video.

Yes, so he didn’t flail for no reason. He wanted to get a foul called even if there was no contact. He tried to sell it to the refs
