One of the primary storylines that's emerged over the course of the opening Western Conference finals games has been Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to draw fouls. The 26-year-old guard, who was named league MVP earlier this week, totaled 29 free throws in Game 1 and 2. The frustration on the Minnesota side with the quick whistle has been evident and many fans have expressed their own frustrations with SGA's tendency to sell those calls.
After he dropped 38 points (13 of which came at the free throw line) to win Game 2, longtime NBA head coach turned ESPN analyst Michael Malone explained what makes Gilgeous-Alexander such an "incredible foul artist."
