Plus the embrace of foul baiting/flopping. It's been around for a long time. But it gets old seeing these star players try to make offense out of drawing fouls. Because of that, we see so much bad/sloppy basketball because guys are trying to draw fouls instead of execution. It gets frustrating seeing so many wasted possessions, especially at the end of games, because players are going for fouls. Then you see players throwing fits because they aren't getting foul calls on every single drive. Which leads to poor transition defense.

As a Sixers fan, I see this every game lol. When Harden got there last year, his entire offense was driving to draw fouls or stepback threes. At least this season, he incorporated the occasional mid range shot. Then, I'm not really trying to see Embiid get 8-15 FTs a night lol. It feels like he gets at least 2-3 turnovers a night because he's trying to draw fouls
