Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 2719251, member: 1001"] Although he's gotten better the last couple years he still plays the game like a and it feels cheap. Originally he was a terrible flopper, one of the worst in the NBA. After that he went through a phase of going out of his way to try to draw fouls. I remember in 2015 he'd routinely have an open lane to the hoop and would veer out of that path so he could find a defender to jump into to draw a foul. He'd pass up an open layup to try to draw a foul; it was ridiculous. Refs eventually stopped calling it and he looked like a fool for a stretch in the 2015 WCF. Refs have gotten a little better too but the league still lets offensive players get away with initiating way too much contact (plus calling foul on the D for it instead of a no-call). It's amazing any team can play defense in today's league between the offensive players getting away with murder when it comes to initiating contact, traveling and carries are never called, and I don't think a legal screen has been set in the NBA in 20 years. CP3 is basically the point guard version of Tim Duncan sans the rings. He's never been that exciting to watch IMO. [/QUOTE]
