Every Foul That Caused Kerr’s OUTRAGE (Flopping or Nah?) 😡



Every Foul That Caused Kerr’s OUTRAGE (Flopping or Nah?) 😡

When the Warriors faced the nuggets on Christmas Day Nia yic shot 18 free throws and this made Steve Kerr go absolutely insane in the postgame press conference how big a factor was the way he was kind of ref today and what did you think of it I have no no problem

With u the officials themselves um they’re all across the league we have really good efficient I have a problem with the way we’re we are um legislating defense out of the game that’s what we’re doing in the NBA the way we’re teaching the officials we’re just

Enabling players to BS their way to the foul L um if I were a fan I wouldn’t wanted to watch that second half of that game it was disgusting it was just you know just baiting baiting refs into calls but the refs have to make those calls because that’s how they’re taught

So I have a real problem with the way we are um we’ve legislated defense out of the game and in this league and uh the players are really smart in this league and for for over the last decade or so uh they’ve gotten smarter and smarter and they’re just um they’re just enable

We have enabled the players and they are taking full advantage and it’s a parade to the free throw line and it’s disgusting to watch thanks obviously flopping foul baiting whatever you want to call it has been a huge part of the NBA over the last several years starting

Off with really some of the legends that we all know such as James Harden but Baron James has done a great job of it Dwayne Wade used to do a great job over the years with his pump fake and draw the foul so we’ve seen a lot of flopping

Over the years it’s something that casual sports fans come into watching basketball and kind of might look at it and say what the hell and say what are these guys doing so I know the league likes to promote scoring they want stars to score as much as possible and

Obviously been getting fou and going to the line helps create headlines really where guys are dropping 50 13 and 10 which I think the league really loves but Steve curve here is basically saying at what point is this too much at what point is this unwatchable it’s been a large conversation this season

Especially around embiid about if the flopping has gone too far and I think it’s apparently visible when you have these SF Footers who are flopping because it just looks all more ridiculous when you have a 7ot 300 lb man who’s hitting the floor when sometimes a guard or a smaller player

Really just gives them a small shove So today we’re going to focus on mikola yogic and how he shot 18 free throws we’re going to look at basically all of his fouls except for really one that I thought didn’t matter but most of his fouls here I think they’re questionable

I’m gonna leave it up to you guys in the comments to decide if you guys think the flopping has gone too far but let’s get right into it the two main primary Defenders on joic in this matchup was Trace Jackson Davis the rookie and cavon Rooney beet so we start off here jic

Gets Trace Jackson Davis alone on an island attacks the rim he goes right it looks like he gets bumped it’s hard to tell whether the ref is really calling this after or before yic sees to throw his arms in the air and ask for a call

So this is kind of how we’re setting the tempo early is this bump here from Trace Jackson is a foul and then here’s jic with woney on him he drives left this looks like a flop to me but you guys let me know in the comments if I’m being a biased Warriors fan

Here and then Trace Jackson Davis now gets another shot at yage he does bump him but it appears to be a late call once again and then on the break here it it looks like Andrew Wiggins does foul him and then kuminga steps in here probably not a smart play he’s wait to

Step in here if he takes a leg up to space he bumps in this is a foul it didn’t look like yic active that much I don’t think he had to but this seems like a fair foul kaminga can’t really be jumping in front of people’s space

As they’re driving you have to have your feet set a little bit more there and then Trace here gets another shot at yage and Trace look like he got the worst of it in this matchup in terms of getting called for these this looks like

A weaker foul I don’t know how you can ask Trace Jackson to lace up his shoes and go play defense if he can’t do this against a massive Center who the whole game plan is to stop and let me close by saying that I think now there’s is going

To be a massive media campaign around flopping and fou baiting and I may have just contributed to it but unfortunately it’s probably going to be around nicoo yic which really isn’t disservice to how good he is as a player I just wanted to go through these fouls to get the

General opinion of the people of whether you think our game should be played like this is this just the proper officiating because I don’t want to take any away from nicoa yic but for somebody like the defender Trace Jackson Davis some of these bumps it’s kind of like how are

These guys really supposed to play defense if a slight bump or just putting your arms straight off and there’s some contact if you’re going to get called for those fats so my personal opinion for what it’s worth is that Jolo MB does much more foul baiting and it’s much

More unbearable to watch and I think if people are going to run with immediate tampine it should be mostly around him and what they’re doing I think the fact that two of the biggest most dominant players in the league are doing this and they’re kind of slower players that slow

Down the pace I’m not sure this is great for the game for the Casual fan that’s coming in and wants to watch a high intensity fastpaced game I don’t think they want to see seven-footers shooting 23 throws a game so let me know what you guys think in the comments what you

Think the solution is for this if you think these foul Fells are right I know if you’re a larger player sometimes you have to flop in order to get the rest to see what’s going on because these people could really be hitting you and no one

Will notice and you’ll go to the locker room with 55 bruises on your body and no one really cares so maybe the flopping is fair and Justified for embiid and yage but yep let me know what you guys think in the comments and thank you for watching

It does cater to the guys that can sell calls they and you know when there’s physicality it’s tough cuz it’s inconsistent at times on either side just what is like what’s the tone of the game and from game to game it changes that’s the nature of basketball but like

A night like tonight where you feel like there’s physicality on one side and then kind of Tiggy attack on the other and then they get into the bonus and it changes the complexity of the game and especially you know not like we don’t foul I’m not saying that it’s just

Consisteny is is key when it comes to understanding how you can defend in the game and I know what coach is talking about so it was it was tough tonight slowed the whole game down obviously he made every free throw and um you know change the momentum play it into their hands and

Until things change you guys have to adjust but it was frustrating um but couldn’t open the game up because the game was slowed down so uh good lesson to learn when we face you know them again we know yic how he plays um and we we be ready for the next one

Here’s every foul that caused Steve Kerr to say “F it, ill take the fine”.

I love watching the NBA then making videos about it.

  1. 🤦🏿‍♂️ But what about the flipping when dropping 3's or whatever that Steph be doing. C'mon now, Steph be acting like a actor too🤷🏿‍♂️ trying to foul bate🤷🏿‍♂️

  2. I would certainly agree that flopping is a thing, but for how long? Anyone remember John Stockton or Mano Ginobbli? Jokic get abused every night and typically gets no fouls called. I don't think these scratches all over his arms are because he has an unruly cat. Does he "sell" calls? Yes, he does. If a referee would make the correct calls in the first place, perhaps this wouldn't be a thing. Just saying…

  3. Screw all this "nothing against Jokic" crap. The guy flops ten times a game a cries like a baby to sell it. That's just bush.

  4. Jokic over the past 3 seasons shoots about 6 a game where Embid gets 12 Giannis 11.Jokic rarely gets the superstar treatment as does Embid.Harden was the biggest faker but it has slowed down .Giannis recently shot 32 free throws in his big performance of 64 points!

  5. I thought you put together an excellent video showing the balance between some legitimate calls and some really crappy defense-neutering calls.

    I probably don't know NBA officiating well enough to fairly criticize individuals. And at least Steve Kerr said he didn't have anything against any of the officials. But I do have to say that I've watched enough NBA games to know that calls are missed and bad calls are made. And it's especially frustrating if there's a close game between two teams one of which you are rooting for.

    Are NBA referees monitored and drug tested?

    Okay it's my spitballing here. Maybe we need to drug test the refs. You know, just for giggles.

    Aside:
    Perhaps they are legally bound to make no business agreements with anyone that may have a preference for a particular franchise!?

  6. If Jokic wasn't Jokic, they wouldn't dare to complain! Just few days ago he got disqualified for nothing, he doesn't get any calls ever and in one game refs were calling shit they constantly call for others!

  7. Flops should simply be called as regular fouls. That would deter it. Maybe allow teams two challenges per game where they believed a player exaggerated contact. Adjust that up if that's insufficient. Ref has a max of thirty seconds to look at the tape.

  8. "Today's players are so much better, than past players!" Yeah, they're so much better they need the refs help for 48 mins, unless of course it's a game when they're practicing "load management". What a joke!!

  9. i agree with this. this kind of play is disgusting, not the reason i watch NBA. it's not exciting to see player gain score by just freely standing in the middle.

  10. This is how to fix bad officiating – Everyone can submit a proof to the NBA for any bad call these officials made. If these claims are correct, the official will get fined and the penalty money will go the first person who submitted the claim. Then all these officials will be very careful in making calls or they will lose out their salary.

  11. King flopper Lebron cries all game. He heads the ALL WAWAH Team. I can't watch my old home team LAKERS anymore. The NBA has a lot of prima donna problems, so commercialism protects them with whistles. Scoring+No D= $$$$$ and Boring

  12. 勇士隊的發言,常常會揭發聯盟的黑暗面,所以比賽當中常常會受到聯盟的針對,這也是NBA落後在國際社會之後的原因.

  13. Rules need to define what space a player on defense is allowed to enter. Suggest defense has equal right to path perpendicular to end line.

    Also suggest any contact the offense can initiate is ok for the defense to also initiate. It’s ridiculous an offense player can literally bulldozer a defense player to the basket, but if the defense player initiates contact, it’s a foul. Fouls should be focused on hitting the arms.

    And someone tell the refs the hand is part of the ball.

    Oh, and if the offense makes the shot, there’s no and-one unless it’s just amazing the offense player managed to make the shot with all the contact.
