[NBACentral] Isaac Okoro has been speaking with referees to make them aware of Jalen Brunson’s antics “Nodding your head back, falling on the ground when not a lot of physicality is used on you.”

It’s annoying but shut up and play ball. Needs to worry about those open threes, not Brunson
Brunson attempted 4 free throws last night LOLLL
Lol good luck convincing the zebras to support the small market team
Watch the interview. I’ll paraphrase but they totally baited him into that and NY media grabbing at what they can…
What do you think you could do differently on Brunson?
Not falling for pump fakes or the antics to draw fouls, just be more disciplined
What is the problem when you’re guarding a guy like that, knowing that’s your assignment?
Being disciplined, Talk to the ref, tell them what kind of antics he might do, stand down and not going for pump fakes, use my size and length
Do the refs listen to you when you tell them that?
*With a smile* I mean, idk maybe haha I can’t tell
You said antics, what does Brunson do?
Oh you know, nodding your head back, falling without a lot of physicality, just things used to get fouls
So you think he gets away with stuff?
Today’s game, a lot of players do that to get to the line so as a defender we need to adjust and be smarter
