""Flopping has ruined our game. Joel Embiid is a great player, one of the best bigs in [expletive] basketball history. [He] flops. He knows it, it's not breaking news.""
""As you all know, not a huge fan of calling a guy out once you lost. I just don't love that because it comes off as excuse-making.""
""Ultimately, it doesn't hold weight. I feel like you end up wasting one of your bullets because it doesn't hold weight anyway because you lost.""
Jaylen Brown's comments on a Twitch stream criticized officiating and Joel Embiid's flopping after the Celtics' playoff elimination. He stated that flopping has negatively impacted the game, specifically calling out Embiid, whom he acknowledged as a great player. The timing of Brown's remarks drew criticism from figures like Draymond Green, who suggested that comments made after a loss are often perceived as excuses. Green emphasized that such statements may lack credibility because they come after a defeat, leading to skepticism about their validity.
