In the NBA, many players are good at grasping loopholes in the rules to punish opponents. Among the current players, such as Alexander, he is very good at creating fouls, while Jokic is very good at creating offensive fouls. Speaking of creating offensive fouls, many players like to fake falls. Although the league has banned fake falls now, the effect does not seem to be significant. Speaking of this, the US media recently divided the players who are good at fake falls in history. Let's see if it's reasonable?

The fifth tier

There are Danny Angie, Vallejo, Curry, Billland Bill, Reggie Miller and Sabonis. Danny Angie is one of the best blue-collar players in history. He has a very high ball quotient and is very good at creating opponent fouls, so fake falls are a piece of cake for him. Valaijo is nicknamed Brazilian actor, and he is only ranked fifth. I think he is underestimated. He relied on his realistic fake fall ability to win the team a lot of offensive opportunities.

Curry's entry into this level will probably surprise fans. To be honest, I don't think Curry should have entered this level. Curry's fake fall is not very realistic, and he was fined for it. Billland Bill is one of the dirtiest players in history. Not only does he have many small moves, he is also very good at angering his opponent and making his opponent out of control. He can also better create opponent fouls. The madman Spreville had commented on Miller back then, saying: He is the fake fall king, and it is like being bombarded when he touches it. It is indeed surprising that Sasa was able to enter this level. His ability and acting skills in fake falls are much worse than those of Reggie Miller and Valaijo. Curry is overrated when entering this level. Their fake falls are not as good as Li Li, who is the Lakers. This person is excellent in both offensive fouls and defensive fouls. He has a very high ball quotient and his acting skills are realistic.

The fourth level

The fourth level includes Zhu Meng, Beverly, Trae Young, Lowry and Dave Coins. Zhu Meng Zhu Meng Green is good at holiday falls. Many fans have probably seen him. As a small center, he can become the top defender in the league. In addition to his toughness, he is also the main reason for his good at fouls. Beverly is like chasing dreams and is a top defender at his peak. Beverly likes to defend his opponents closely like a dog skin plaster. As long as the opponent exerts his strength, he will immediately fall. His acting skills are so outstanding.

Trey Young likes to fake falls on both offense and defense. If his opponent gives him a defensive end, he can fly out and make fake falls immediately. These 18th generation talents are all good at making fouls. As the older generation of point guards, Lowry has a very good control over the timing of his position. As long as he stands well, he will fall down immediately when his opponent hits him. Dave Coins is known as Bill Russell's successor. Although he is not as dominant as Russell and his athletic ability and defense are not as good as Lord of the Rings, he used his ball quotient and foul ability to make up for his own shortcomings and helped the team win two championships.

The third level

The third level includes James, Paul, Ginobili and Doncic. After James entered the end of his career, he began to play like this. When he saw his opponent hit the inside, he would immediately stand on the right route of travel. When the opponent hits, he would immediately fall out to create an offensive foul on the opponent. Paul is even a good foul. As an old-school traditional point guard, his best foul is to create various fouls from his opponent. Paul also likes small moves, so some fans do not like him.

Ginobili has a nickname called Demon Sword. The reason why he is called this is not only because he can attack in various positions, but more importantly, his offensive route is difficult to understand, especially his snake-shaped breakthrough, which can be easily deceived into fouls. It can be said that he is one of the most foul players in history. Many fans probably won't be surprised if Doncic is on the list. Doncic seems to have liked this style of playing fouls and fake falls to win free throws, but relying too much on free throws also makes him often missed back to defense, so he should improve his defensive attitude.

The second gear

The second gear includes Embiid, Rodman and Smart. Embiid is one of the most effective players in active fake falls. He often falls after attack. On the one hand, he wants to commit fouls. On the other hand, the second reason is that he is too heavy and often chooses to fall and let his hips fall on the ground after the confrontation, reducing the possibility of knee injury. Rodman and Smart are the same type of players, with tough defense and extremely smart. As long as the opponent reveals a flaw and touches me, I will immediately fall and fly out.

The first tier

There are Harden and Divac. Divac is known as one of the most fake fall players in history. He is also known as the originator of fake falls in the NBA. It seems that there is no big problem for him to rank first in this title alone. When the Lakers and the Kings finished in the West Finals, Divac used fake falls to prevent O'Neal from suffering. There is probably not much controversy about Harden's ranking in this position. After all, Harden is one of the most foul players in history and the creator of the tricks.
