Seeing more of the European influence, guys like Luka and Jocic flopping around and then whining like bitches when they don't get a foul called, slows the game down, league obviously coddles and protects the "superstar" players, games almost seem rigged at times.
Bad take #2. Are games being rigged for the T-wolves, Magic, and Thunder? Are they going out of their way to protect the lackluster Lakers, Suns, and Warriors?
NO ONE
EVER cried more than the '80's Celtics
New rule: Flopping gets you an unsportsmanlike technical.
Let's see how the T-Wolves, Magic, and Thunder do in the playoffs, did you just recently start watching the NBA? Do you pay attention to it at all, the Jokic 18 free throws? Maybe you watching a different TV than everyone else.
Here is a homework assignment for you, will fully explain in crayon what you need to do, go to the magic google machine, it will take a bit for your Commodore 64 to load everything up, and the video will be a bit wonky, but watch the Dallas Mavericks, they have a kid from Slovenia named Luka Doncic, you likely do not know that Slovenia is a country, but it is and they do have a ton of very tall white guys there that are good at basketball.
Ok lil' fella, you found the video, now press that triangle thing so it will play, now watch how Doncic looks at the ref after every play, then compare that to the old Celtics/Lakers where they did complain, but did not stop playing to berate the ref as the guy they were supposed to be defending was running the other way down court, compare and contrast the two approaches.
Next you will go to a Denver Nuggets video and watch a very, very tall and awkward looking guy named Nikola Jokic, now this will undoubtedly confuse you as he does not look very athletic, but trust me his is a good player. You will also be confused that he is from Serbia, it was likely a part of Yugoslavia the last time you were perusing your Funk & Wagnalls or Encyclopedia Britannica, or maybe you never got past Weekly Reader, but anyway the country of Yugoslavia split up into several places that produces very all white guys. You will notice the same type of thing from Jokic, he even makes a praying type motion to the refs from time to time, which again slows the game down and makes you watch him bitch.
Well, you have a lot of work to do and with the limited capacity of you Commodore 64 it will take hours to load stuff, so go forth and conquer young knight!
