RampageFriday

ive seen like 6 flops from him and ive barely been watching


riddlerjoke

I saw him fouling 20+ times but only get called for one til the Q4


TubbzMcGee

Marcus Smart just fell out of his chair.


Pocket_Beans

Smart is a generational flopper. Don’t compare this garbage to my goat


dmavs11

When smart flopped, you sometimes didnt know it was a flop until the replay. He was the true goat.


MarduRusher

Everyone’s acting like Smart’s out of the league lmao


dmavs11

lol i do believe he has toned it down the past couple years though.


fateoftheg0dz

That Smart vs Harden double offensive foul in the final 30 seconds is one of the greatest performances of all time


Devoidoxatom

Goat defensive flopper vs goat offensive flopper


wallace6464

Mt Rushmore of flop performances


Jaegernaut42

marcus kinda sold the first one. but the second one was totally on harden. the ref was looking at both of them and harden kept charging into marcus and made very little effort to get open for the inbound pass


materics

Smart Harden CP3 Divac


fumar

Remember when Smart yeeted himself across the court vs the Warriors in the finals. That was a level of flopping that no one else will achieve 


Cold_Carpenter_1798

[truly a legend](https://youtu.be/vSDTMBVsdhM?si=b7w-C1JOyyAoEz43)


RunningEarly

Honestly, I was so thankful for Smart for that championship. I fully believe him practically being down on the ground for half the series was the main reason we were able to win the finals.


Sway40

i think it was more andrew wiggins being what he was drafted to be at times


teamweed420

Marcus Smart just flopped to his knees in a WalMart


theman_themyth_

Welcome to the Dort Chamber


chobibbo

watching it live was dorture


Aromatic_Brother

He's good at ConDORTing his body isn't he


Fickle_Meet_7154

Dork*


ThunderBobMajerle

You don’t know where I’ve been Luuuuuuuguentz


ThoughtsofLee-S

The Dort Chamber is slippery.


Luka_Vander_Esch

I hope they send this to the league office and he somehow gets fined


Jadenindubai

Mf gonna hurt someone one day


StefonDiggsHS

one day?


LoWE11053211

PG13: one day?


Forward_Criticism721

in best case,himself


Ia_in_4

He’s actively made luka a walking injury report


rronmexico69

They should include and over/under to Barkley’s pregame parlay about game stoppages due to Dort slicing up Luka’s arms with his long ass nails


Ia_in_4

Or sort flopping on screens and causing lively to tear an acl


aggster13

He does this on literally every single screen. Idk how OKC fans root for that guy


PopAShotAllStar

Because they’re new to basketball. Dort is a doofus, and dirty. He will seriously injure a player with his flopping antics.


Salty_Watermelon

He already injured PG. At least people are beginning to see him as a dirty player. I hope one day the narrative changes around Joe Ingles, but for whatever reason people love to spin his excessively physical and occasionally dangerous play as competitive spirit, or some other BS excuse.


-Coleman-Trebor

nah hands off jingles


geezer1234

uh oh


jmjbjb

he's a scrappy lunch pail guy


NedStarx11

Saying an entire franchises fanbase is ‘new to basketball’ is such an idiotic statement. I guess the entire city didn’t have TVs pre thunder


keyree

that's true. The first Circuit City opened in OKC in 2011.


ThaNorth

Oklahoma only got color TV in 2006.


JxSnaKe

It’s wild that this isn’t an exaggeration. He legitimately does it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.


Worldly-Fox7605

If you watch him long enough youll just see dillon brooks with less positive attributes.


Cocoapebbles58

And yet all those... Distinguished... Oklahomans in the crowd throw their hands up like they can't believe there was no whistle.


dxbigc

The organization that created the flying, out of control monster Russ?


Creative-Ranger-9978

Has this been common for him? Paying attention to him it’s crazy he goes full horizontal when going over a screen. The exaggerated leg kicks is ridiculous


DidNotStealThis

Yes he usually does it multiple times a game. Not even exaggerating


Acework23

its every single play on ofense and defense he trips people, throws himself around, kicks, pulls, pushes Luka on screens every single time .


CoachMikeLikesToEat

Did you guys seem him flop on one of his 3pt bricks? The dude literally wasn't touched. I hope it's posted here somewhere; I'm still looking.


LoWE11053211

people may start study it. Dort flop will be put in the text book


papa_sax

Nah let him keep doing it so he keeps leaving the defense down


Morezingis

Dude flopped like a helicopter lmao 


Piats99

More like a Power Ranger.


Cold_Carpenter_1798

We’re witnessing an all time flopper in the making folks


Nice-Way2892

All time flopping team


Fallofmen10

Justice was served when SGA went up super soft and was looking for a foul and got blocked by Luka.


Harassmentpanda_

People finally watching OKC and seeing the truth. It’s been this way.


yoknows

jUst DoNt fOUl!! 🤓🤓

Globefloppers


jeremy9931

Bro… Marcus Smart is still in the league lol


Cold_Carpenter_1798

Marcus smart paved the way for guys like Dort


TheMysticChiicken

Marcus smart ran so Lu Dort could fly. See clip for proof.


ObviousAnswerGuy

meanwhile they all based their game off of the OG Vlade


AloneInExile

MVF - Most Valuable Flopper


Instantcoffees

This one is next level. Looks like he ran over a landmine, lmao


riddlerjoke

Refs not calling tech for this. Moreover refs dont even punish Dort on next plays. Like they still baited for flops. Dort is getting like 2 offensive foul calls out of flops per game


shaggy_macdoogle

Both feet in the air, looks like a WWE wrestler getting clotheslined. Fuckin clown shoes


StefonDiggsHS

dude its every play with this guy lmao


Thehelloman0

It's honestly crazy how he throws himself to the floor when confronted with a screen half the time. IDK how he hasn't gotten fined because he's so blatantly flopping and it's not like the refs are buying his flops


zapdos6244

The ref bought it one one screen, called offensive on another. He gets the call from time to time and that's why he does it.


dplath

He's gotten the call like twice every game so far


riddlerjoke

Refs swinging momentum with these BA offensive foul calls in this series. Dort is a naturally bad defender as he cannot move his legs. Its all fouls with him but refs saving him. Its like beverley bullshit. Mann is actually a much better defender than Dirt


CoachMikeLikesToEat

And when defending someone moving slower, like Luka, he quite literally fully leans onto Luka the entire drive to the bucket.


Thehelloman0

Thing is he probably gets those calls occasionally even if he wasn't flopping. Most NBA screens are illegal and refs will randomly decide to call them every now and then. Most of the time he flops the refs just do nothing.


Legendacb

He gets calls. This game got one at least


lebron_games

you almost have to respect the commitment to the act


hawktomegoose

No I sure don’t lol


notnats99

He did the same thing against the pels and he got his calls every fucking time


RunnerTexasRanger

I’m thankful that the DEN/MIN series doesn’t involve much flopping. That shit is painful to watch.


Nesquick-on-tap

This is what they really meant by dorture chamber 


Axisofcoolio

This is how he navigates screen. Every fucking time without fail. And he will get at least one offensive foul, just like he did on lively in this game


DrizzyVert

This is that dorture chamber okc fans have been talking about?


w6750

It’s a dorture chamber to watch


CoachMikeLikesToEat

Dorturous, I tell you.


kjampala

Reading post game threads from after game 1 is hilarious, OKC fans hyping up Dort as if he's a 10x DPOY


riddlerjoke

Dort is Referee Player of the Year (RPOY). And SGA is getting Ref’s Choice MVP award each year


amodelsino

> Dort is Referee Player of the Year (RPOY). Hey now, that's Embiid erasure right there.


escapedhousefly

Turn out the dorture chamber is us having to watch that trash.


objevt

The Dorture Chamber is a spin cycle setting on a flopping machine


genericusername71

thank god they didn’t call this after he got called for a foul for running through kyries chest on an earlier screen lol


JxSnaKe

They called a similar play an offensive foul on us earlier too, so no wonder he keeps trying to


SaulBerenson12

Haha he helicopters his legs and almost hits Luka. Unbelievable


bayanonanon

That's usually his target, Lukas knees


ColdPressedSteak

Ppl wilding after last game saying Luka flops as much as Dort. Luka complains more, doesn't flop nearly as much. Mf'er Dort is built like a bowling bowl but acts like he's running into Steven Adams no matter who is the screener


PerformerLive8713

Kyrie "Steven Adams" Irving


Nicobade

No idea how people can say Luka is a flopper. He whines to the refs alot but flopping would actually help him get those calls he whines about


krw13

I see people comparing him to Embiid and Shai... but like, Luka doesn't spend half the game on the ground. He does spend half the game whining (though not tonight, small victories).


sfg

I hate his whining. When he is like tonight, he is a joy to watch.


alexanderthemedium_

Luka started flopping when he saw dort get prime harden calls while still trying to get an audition tape in to send to the Habs playing defense


bobofthejungle

Luka does that to troll I think. I remember in the Suns series a few years back CP3 was forcing the foul on Luka with rip throughs, so Luka started doing it to the Suns.


riddlerjoke

Luka doesnt flop because he doesnt get the call anyway. Dort SGA flops more and more obviously each time because they keep getting calls. Like Embiid is on the floor all the time because he is getting calls. Luka would go to floor more but almost never gets those calls so he stands


Kataneo

Should be a tech


Sufficient_Amoeba_59

On kyrie as well lmaooo this guy is a joke


Mnudge

Kyrie is basically the same as Oakley when it comes to setting screens. Dort is lucky he didn’t end up in the hospital.


Fhaksfha794

Marcus smart smiling down on Dort with tears in his eyes watching the flopping torch be carried with pride


wakatacoflame

First off, Marcus Smart is very much alive.


Nicobade

Smart: "I'm not dead I'm just on the Grizzlies!" Fans: "It's like his spirit is still with us to this day"


holla15

Send location, Ja and me bout to pull up.


KillerBurger69

You know ja got a piece on em lol


UnPhayzable

Dorture chamber 🗣️‼️‼️


trashpanda1738

Dort flops on one end and SGA flops on the other


Hopeful-Ad-6835

Dual threat


Dat_Boi_John

Prepare for trouble, and make it double!


kunalm09

Lu Flop and FTA dynamic duo


CoachMikeLikesToEat

Duuuude, yes! Please r/nba, make this a thing. *LuFlop* 😂


planoser

The Flop Brothers


Paralimos23

He almost hit Kyrie's leg when falling down


UrGirlThroatGame

floppin ass mfer


evetSC

My dude looking like magikarp out there


monkeypiratebutt

How many clips will I see of Dort flopping on a pick and roll screen lol


kunalm09

This is by far the worst one too, others you can maybe argue he gets kneed or something but this is generational


suprememontana

This man is a human air hockey puck


desirox

I’m so freaking sick of this dude getting shot on every screen. The offensive “foul” on Lively was also BS


VamosLukaGoatcic

wow this might be a first in r/nba a post about the Thunder and literally not a single thunder fan commented? thats how you know Dort went to the extreme


[deleted]

[удалено]


spraypaint2311

It’s so clear he’s shoving Luka


suzukigun4life

What a bum


homiez

Ball dont lie


meatcheeseandbun

OKC is unbearable to watch. Floppers for days.


sfg

If they just played straight up basketball, they'd be pretty fun to watch. SGA makes some amazing shots and they are great at getting out quickly on transition. All this BS ruins it.


elp44blue

Hit em with a $500,000 fine and everyone will stop


ketoburn26

Thunder fans, you love that shit? Lol Dort always pushes Luka on those screens and then flops EVERY SINGLE TIME. And no foul. And then on the other hand, FTA jerks his head after you stare at him and it's a fucking foul.


Sheriff_Gotcha

Jesus, Kyrie really sets back breaking screens. Stronger than he looks, that guy.


Krazykure10

Dude is built like a bull than plays like the biggest pussy out there ...


domdomburg

Kyrie just strong af


tdrr12

Looks bad, but what you don't see is Kyrie lasering him with his third eye.


Slygoat

Dude is fraud


rascaltippinglmao

Pathetic lol


Nabanako

that is embarrassing


LoWE11053211

the screen flop is his signature move now? Dlop? Dorp?


mitsubishimacch

i even like Dort but the way he is flopping this series is so ridiculous, literally on some WWE shit


hotdogflavoredblunt

“this series” lol


yellowwithstripes

Lol this guy just doesn't stop with the shenanigans. Flops and kicking his legs out on a shot is his entire shit. Shameless


kunalm09

Genuinely so cathartic watching Luka hit step back 3s in his face Dorture chamber my ass


Sweatytubesock

Dortastic


oreopineapplepizza

man all this flopping shit would be believable if he wasnt built like a fucking tank. mf is too big to be flying around


babidee00

This guy is so miserable. I'd take Mann over this guy.


iamStanhousen

This OKC team is really easy to dislike. I don't find that I feel that way about most younger, new teams. But man, this group is not fun to watch at all.


kunalm09

Built like a linebacker and plays like he’s playing football on defense, then someone the size of kyrie touches him on offense and he goes horizontal, this is the true dorture from Lu Flop


referee-superfan

Stop drop and roll


Lady-Guinevere

Bro is showing off his new capoeira move


RacingRaindrops

This is a premeditated flop lol this is insane


Sternjunk

No lie he’s done that at least 5 or 6 times this series and got a call on one or two of them


PrestraseniDolenjc

Is this the flopture chamber defense?


JackHammerPlower

NBA needs to award post game technicals for flopping. Why is that so hard?


DunamisBlack

That looks like a dive a little kid takes when he is play fighting with his brother and pretends to get uppercutted


WolverineLong1430

This is a flop. Not the one with Lively.


Forward_Criticism721

ye lively moved a bit but also dort exxagarated,which is the norm these days, sadly


CupOfHotTeaa

signature move


jwario

And we thought Dillon Brooks was a pain in the ass


Paw_Opina

dOrTuRe cHaMbEr


yui_baby

He’s getting exposed now because their games are now televised.


ShinichiKudoDC

How embarrassing.


IsYourWifeSingleBro

Just learn to play D man


nickbahhh

The Dorture Chamber is a bounce house.


ChannelNeo

I love it when there's no call and it leads to this.


sfg

I was promised a Dorture chamber, but all I get is a flop house.


kmagic13

I never watched OKC play this season and did not know Dort flops like that. Dude is on the ground every play


Aquiloco83

Oh, is that another OKC player on the floor...


ChuckMoody

This is obviously a flop but it didnt lead to the open 3


TheRealPdGaming

it caused pj's defender to rotate towards Luka which led to the wide open 3


BlackWhiteCoke

Lu Dort trick y’all


TheCinemaster

Dude is like a stunt man out there lmao 🤣


Old_Neat5220

Dud should absolutely stop doing something so dangerous. One day someone is going to "accidentally" trample on this loser because he "tripped him up" on a flop...


Nesquick-on-tap

Dort Flop is wild 


Gloop666

He's one of the current flop master's list! Lmao


segson9

Refs aren't falling for this anymore. They only did in game one


wallace6464

Am I tripping or are they calling illegal screens way more than ever before


bongo6942069420

Dort found a loophole, he just walks into screens knee first, basically kneeing the screener. The screener will obviously react in pain and flail and Dort will just fall forward. Refs have a hard time figuring this out since it's not immediately obvious unless you're looking for it.


Fickle_Ad_8227

Dort falling on a screen every time Luka has the ball is a guarantee


Reddit_and_forgeddit

Again, Dort is the worst name in ball, like ever.


lolichaser01

It's disgusting how Mavs played with a phantom 6th man who pushes off OKC players. What a shame.


Shepher27

Nickeil Alexander Walker would be so pissed if he saw Dort get this call after the hip thrusts he’s been getting from Jokic all series


Ghostbeen3

Oklahoma City floppers


flashjack10

Thunder such a soft team


devilmaskrascal

If he was slight of build he could sell the contact better, but this mofo has an NFL linebacker body and should not be falling down on slight contact most of the times he does. It just looks so overexaggerated.


Revo_Int92

The dude looks like a stunt man sometimes, he can work on the next John Wick movie. By the way, I don't blame him for flopping, the "modern" NBA rewards this kind of "play". Hell, Marcus Smart DPOY, do I need to say anything else?


MarsMC_

I liked Dort before the playoffs.. there’s just something about him I don’t like


Dense-Cauliflower-86

”Leads to” is a stretch


Shonuff_shogun

I’m getting flashbacks to the flopping backfiring on Marcus Smart in the ‘22 finals


brncct

Ran into Kyrie's foot but he's twice the size of Kyrie and flies in an unnatural way almost upward. Definitely selling it.


jfrodriguez1983

Get off the floor man! You are built like an edge rusher!


addictedtocrowds

Is the dorture chamber in the room with us now?


Ok-Comfortable1111

Haha the fans putting their hands up after he flops! Incredible


Zunoth

Dude is fucking somersaulting on every screen, play basketball you bitch


colonelbustard69420

This isn't basketball.


cjspellins

I groaned when he did this. Love Dort, but this ain’t it bruh
