100%... he doesn't flop and moves through the contact. He got hit on a 10 foot turnaround that went 6 feet in the playoffs and it just makes me laugh... how do you not know the defender got him on the forearm/elbow there.
I think it's because turnovers on passes at least have a chance of doing something, whereas turnovers from being stripped didn't have a chance for anything and psychologically probably feel much more preventable. If you told him not to put the ball on the floor, he'd never turn the ball over.
You hit the nail on the head! He’s like the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA. He certainly doesn’t get the superstar treatment and the fact that he’s white doesn’t help IMHO. Still, he’s a unique talent and we’d almost certainly suffer from seller’s remorse if we let him go. I was thinking about that watching Aaron Gordon stink it up for the Nuggets in their short playoff run.
Yeah but the problem was we really need the person at his position to be able to occasionally put the ball on the floor.
