Bill Simmons shreds Jalen Brunson as NBA’s most egregious flopper: ‘Complete package’
NY Post
Free throws are king in today’s NBA, and players like Jalen Brunson will do anything to get them.
In a league full of “floppers,” Bill Simmons thinks the Knicks star is in a league of his own.
“I think [Brunson’s] become the preeminent flopper in the NBA,” Simmons said on his eponymous podcast.
And it’s not just shot attempts that he’s baiting for fouls on.
“He’s doing it on both ends, he’s doing it on defense and offense,” Simmons added. “He’s flopping on picks, he’s flopping coming off screens, he’s flopping when somebody bumps into him on a drive, he’s flopping for charges.”
Simmons called Brunson the “complete package” when it comes to flopping and that he was “in awe” watching him play recently.
