Ask any "old head" what their biggest gripe with the modern NBA is, and their main complaint boils down to two things: "Players spend too much time flopping" or "old-school, physical defense is dead."

Both are the direct result of offensive fouls not being called, defensive fouls being way up, and the general eagerness both referees and the NBA have for awarding offensive players for drawing contact.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has mastered drawing contact to the point where he's led the NBA in free-throw attempts for each of the last three seasons. Every time he drives into the paint, it seems that he has his man beat, but then he stops on a dime, gets a little bump, throws up a shot, and flails.

And one!

SGA and the Thunder have been accused of playing "unethical basketball" both by fans and players. Thunder defenders will point to other players, like San Antonio Spurs' superstar Victor Wembanyama, and say he does the exact same thing. 

However, the numbers suggest that the two-time MVP is in a league of his own.

In Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, SGA finished with 30 points, getting to the free-throw line six times. He tried to get there a lot more.

He took 24 shots in the game. Of those 24 attempts, he hit the deck immediately after seven times, looking for a foul call each time.

It was ugly, ugly basketball, but it clearly worked. After the game, fans were wondering if there's anyone else in the league who flops as much as Gilgeous-Alexander. Yahoo's Tom Haberstroh took a look at the league's most infamous floppers still alive in the postseason: SGA, Wembanyama, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, and Jalen Brunson.

After poring over every playoff shot attempt by those stars, he reached the following conclusion:

Wembanyama, it seems, has only fallen once on a no-call this postseason. Granted, he does fall 25 percent of the time when he actually is fouled, which could point to a lack of balance or poise, but he is far from the worst offender.

Gilgeous-Alexander has fallen 39 times this postseason. By our count, that averages to around three minutes and 15 seconds of time spent lying on the floor after taking a shot.

Sure, oftentimes the ball is dead after he hits the deck, so that doesn't really affect the Thunder's effort getting back on the defensive end, but plenty of times OKC is a man short when the Spurs regain possession simply because their best player is rolling around on the hardwood.

In the regular season, Wembanyama praised the Spurs for playing "pure and ethical basketball.” It was a clear shot at the Thunder, although he didn't have the data to back it up. Now he does, and fans should expect the Spurs to eagerly point to the numbers if they think SGA and the Thunder are getting an unfair whistle in the Western Conference Finals.
