      “I was told that every time I feel like I’m in a situation where it’s going to be some type of extreme [weight] on my leg, I’ve got to dive or just roll onto the floor. So that’s why I do it.” - this explains a lot thanks for posting…so funny tho and I can’t tell if he’s trolling or if his docs really said that. haha.

        I mean he had a foot injury that kept him out right after he was drafted, and basketball is just a tough sport for your feet (amplified by being a giant like Embiid) so I believe it

            Porzingis is a bit less bulky & plays less physical than embiid, I’d imagine that plays a role. Tbf I doubt he’s asked to flop as much and as theatrically as he does, but I buy the idea that taking pressure off his feet and on to his body could prevent injuries.

      You shouldn’t fall with full force onto your joints at his weight. I’m sure the dipshit teenagers in this thread will understand.
