Jaylen Brown has attracted a lot of attention after publicly criticizing flopping among NBA superstars. In an interview with DDG, the Boston Celtics forward stated, “Everybody’s doing it. A lot of offensive players are doing it,” highlighting a trend that extends to the league’s elite.
Brown specifically mentioned Joel Embiid, James Harden, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and LeBron James as players who often overdo contact. These figures are not fringe competitors, but MVPs, champions and central faces of the NBA, highlighting that flopping extends to the highest levels.
“It’s the difference between making a mistake and making a flop,” he added. “But the reality is, I feel like unless you flop, the officials aren’t going to call you.”
Brown himself ranks sixth with 29.3 points per game and averages 6.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists. His dual-threat role allows him to contribute on both ends while relying on physical finishing rather than making an excessive amount of mistakes. Boston currently has a record of 15-11 and is fourth in the Eastern Conference.
The issue of flopping also ties into rising scores across the league, as several players average more than 30 points per match. This scoring environment creates incentives for offensive stars to exaggerate contact to gain an edge on drives, pull-ups and isolation plays.
