Obviously Joel Embiid has been super dominant on both ends of the floor these Olympics, but you know what he hasn’t been doing? Flopping like a fish onto the floor every other play.
Sixers fans always say the reason he ends up on the floor so much is because it’s better for his body. But isn’t it crazy how in the league where refs won’t call flops he can last a whole quarter without throwing himself at his opponent’s legs?
Would love to see the NBA officiate a bit closer to FIBA rules because it’s fun watching one of the most skilled big men in history hitting crazy turn around middies instead of 12 free throws.
Your whole argument falls apart when he had a highlight dunk and fell to the floor to save his knees
