Because he doesn’t throw his hands in the air and flop he doesn’t get the call here. Penalized for trying to play through contact rather than flop.
Elbowed to the ground. No call.
Raked across the arms but since he doesn’t flop like Harden he never gets the calls. NBA rewards flopping instead of trying to play through contact:
No call:
No call:
Marcus Smart pulls Giannis down by the arm. Foul called on Giannis.
This was called a foul on Giannis:
Called an offensive foul even though arm doesn’t extend. Every single James Harden step back 3 is worst than this.
Yes, this was actually called as a foul committed by Giannis:
Seriously wasn’t called a foul:
Smart hooks his arm...no call. Smart flops...offensive foul on Giannis.
