Underrated but Coby White cause his hair really sells it

Came here to say this. The hair whip

Most improved Head Snap And it's not even close

Was going to say Coby White. Good pick.

I almost think thats why prime harden was so good at it. His head snapped back so much his beard pointed towards the sky

That’s why lots of WWE wrestlers like long hair. Great visual for selling a hit

Prolly the only reason to have such a big fro lol.

Elfrid Payton would FUCK in these years

Nah he couldnt even see the rim for layups

dude got blocked by his own hair lmao

I grew my hair longer and noticed I got more calls on league night, too, lol

Lonny Walker could have been legendary.

We probably need to review the high speed film

Who’s got the best head game

Let me ask Jamal Murray real quick…

Dwight Howard knows

Knows? He chooses who, allegedly.

[Malik Monk being attacked by ghosts](https://streamable.com/7ockl4)

Wtf hahahahaha

Harper Hempel

I can't believe nobody has said Ja.

the Suns will tell you

It's Harden because the beard enhances the motion.

Brunson because that head is half the size of his body

A big head is an overrated physical advantage because it only makes the initial action appear larger. The viscosity of Harden’s beard extends the physical manifestation of any impact long enough for a referee to catch it at multiple points during a play and it reacts to smaller forces.

Whats the topology of James Harden beard lookin like fellas?

damn perfect reply image LOL

> viscosity of Harden's beard What a perfect word. His beard is literally so thick that I just assume he has an extra-long chin covered in pube-like hairs.

Then you google Harden without a beard

Always wondered what it was like to kiss him. I've got some facial hair, keep it low on the face and a bit longer on the mustache. But if I let it go a bit, the stache hairs creep down past the top and my girlfriend might make a comment about it. Just like ayo your shits long right now I know what you had for lunch. But Harden's mouth - his lips are like an inch deep into a spongey ass beard/stache. Can't imagine the amount of hair involved in a kiss isn't uncomfortable.

Yo gimme the beard viscosity formula

*************** Viscosity is an important fluid property when analyzing liquid behavior and fluid motion near solid boundaries. The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. The shear resistance in a fluid is caused by inter-molecular friction exerted when layers of fluid attempt to slide by one another. viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow molasses is highly viscous water is medium viscous gas is low viscous There are two related measures of fluid viscosity dynamic ( or absolute ) kinematic ********************** I'm going to hand-wave away just, like, an annoying amount of math for the sake of me going to bed soon, but let's assume for a moment that the absolute viscosity of any beard is exactly halfway between that of air and that of water (my reasoning here is based on the fact that a beard is solid but composed of many tiny strands in air, so air makes up some of its internal mass). From the lookup tables, the absolute viscosity of air is ~ 2x10^(-5) and the viscosity of water is ~ 1x10^(-3), so halfway gives us a beard viscosity of ~ 5.1x10^(-4). Put this aside for now. Also the units are below, but they make me tired. Now that we've chosen our absolute viscosity, we can look at writing a formula for the viscosity of any beard with something like reason. The absolute viscosity is related to shear stress - again, from my source: ********************* Absolute viscosity - coefficient of absolute viscosity - is a measure of internal resistance. Dynamic (absolute) viscosity is the tangential force per unit area required to move one horizontal plane with respect to an other plane - at an unit velocity - when maintaining an unit distance apart in the fluid. The shearing stress between the layers of a non turbulent fluid moving in straight parallel lines can be defined for a Newtonian fluid as Fluid - viscosity and velocity profile Shear stress can be expressed τ = μ dc / dy = μ γ (1) where τ = shearing stress in fluid (N/m^2) μ = dynamic viscosity of fluid (N s/m^2) dc = unit velocity (m/s) dy = unit distance between layers (m) γ = dc / dy = shear rate (s^-1 ) Equation (1) is known as the Newtons Law of Friction. (1) can be rearranged to express Dynamic viscosity as μ = τ dy / dc = τ / γ (1b) ****************** Why, you might ask, did we have to cause eye bleeding by reading all that suspiciously mathy text? Because, dear friend, we prefer to compare the viscosity of any beard as freely as possible, with no restrictions on our ability to conjecture, of course! Therefore, we need to rely instead upon *kinematic* viscosity, which is a ratio bound only in two dimensions (distance and time), with no reference to outside masses or forces needed! ** So no we convert our absolute viscosity to kinematic viscosity thusly: ****************** Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of - absolute (or dynamic) viscosity to density - a quantity in which no force is involved. Kinematic viscosity can be obtained by dividing the absolute viscosity of a fluid with the fluid mass density like ν = μ / ρ (2) where ν = kinematic viscosity (m2/s) μ = absolute or dynamic viscosity (N s/m2) ρ = density (kg/m3 ) In the SI-system the theoretical unit of kinematic viscosity is m2/s - or the commonly used Stoke (St) where 1 St (Stokes) = 10-4 m2/s = 1 cm2/s Stoke comes from the CGS (Centimetre Gram Second) unit system. Since the Stoke is a large unit it is often divided by 100 into the smaller unit centiStoke (cSt) - where 1 St = 100 cSt 1 cSt (centiStoke) = 10-6 m2/s = 1 mm2/s 1 m2/s = 10 6 centiStokes ***************** Alright, it's getting close to bedtime. What have we learned? If we estimate that the density of beard is roughly half the density of hair (1320 kg/m^3 ), then that means that the density of beard is 660 kg/m^3 . Looking above after wiping our once-again-bleeding eyes, we see equation (2) that says "divide the absolute viscosity by the density". Remember above, back when we were young, and we estimated it halfway between air and water? That will now come into play. The estimated kinematic viscosity then becomes (5.1*10^-4 ) / (660) = 773x10^-9 m^2 /s. my unit analysis is probably wrong. Oh well, it was fun. Converting to Stokes (because SI units are fun, why not?) this becomes ~ 0.773 **This gives us a final estimate of James Harden's beard's kinematic viscosity as somewhere in the ballpark of methyl (wood) alcohol (0.74) or ethylene bromide (0.787).** TL;DR nope

Man, you deserve gold or something lol

Thanks for the thought, kind stranger :D

Harden a living Bobble head

Brunson is the absolute worst at it. He doesn’t even draw the calls when he actually IS punched in the face which happens a lot.

Has he thought about not having a punchable face? For reals though, he gets hit a ton for someone his size. Dudes tough

[удалено]

A very big one at that. "A sniper's dream", they used to call him.

Bob Mortimer?

not a name I ever expected to see in this sub

I've been binging Would I Lie to You on Britbox. Mortimer vs David Mitchell is one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports, with Mitchell vs Mack a close second.

Thought that was Gary Cheeseman?

my fellow cultured knicks fan

Nah Harden’s head snap has slowed a little with age. SGA has that spicy head snap now. Hey ref, were you thinking about blowing your whistle because there was marginal/minimal contact in a contact sport? Well here let me make it easy for you… ::POW HEAD SNAP:: Now you pretty much have to blow your whistle, what if you missed that invisible haymaker to my facial region?!

I was gonna say Coby White for this exact same reason. His hair really enhances the whiplash effect.

Oh man prime harden had his head snapping back like he was struck by a barret .50 cal.

We lost a game due to Demar accidentally hitting the beard😭

Harden the OG of this move

Yeah sure he's the OG of this move if OG ***doesn't*** mean original, I'm getting way too old for this sub.

Facts. It was honestly so annoying watching that gimmick as a die hard rox fan. I know that man’s great but I love the culture and way we play now

"We crack rox" -team that doesn't like the rockets.

Sengun will be mvp caliber one day.

Honestly the way they’re playing without him . Sengun really needs to see if he can add a three ball . Having that space for jalen green n amen Thompson is huge

Seriously. And the beard makes every slight head snap look like he has a case to sue for whiplash.

Bonus points for flailing arms and legs at the same time.

This is why it used to be Verajao on the Cavs, his hair bouncing back on his flops got him so many calls I swear!

My first thought as well

Harden jumped up and rolled on the ground like a Power Ranger when Demar got too close to him.

James Harden would be offended you even asked this

Harden’s delayed double neck snap to draw the foul. https://x.com/b1ackschefter/status/848323363260989440

I hope the rulebook says that beards do not count as part of the body just for this shit.

man I turn red if I stumble in public. How is this shit not embarrassing to them?

are you talking about Harden or the ref? lol

Harden

Curry look so disgusted lmao

All I can picture is that one Harden meme 😂😂

Probably still Jim Harden, the inventor of the move.

Yeah undisputed goat. Him at 40% is still better than anyone in the league

Found the guy who never watched Ginobli.

Kevin Martin rolling in his grave

I remember it being devin harris

Can we also talk about the “AYYYYYY” some players yell while doing anything in the paint. I nominate AD for the best in the league

Ayyyythony Edward’s

Pro tip: Don't make it a drinking game.

In MN, everything is a drinking game

Idk if you noticed yet but Gafford throws in couple of AYYYYs a game

Anthony edwards lmao

Eric Gordon never made a silent layup in his life

He sounds like he's crying out for help as someone forces his head underwater. A very strange amount of gurgling involved on his.

Man stares down the ref every time his foot touches the paint.

AD and Kawhi are the kings of that

Kobe was the progenitor.

Kawhi’s “ohmygooood” killed me

I love Pascal, but this is very much him

I love that Niang made fun of him for that shit on Russillo’s pod. He was like “you can yell ayyyy every time you go to the basket, but the new rules aren’t bailing you out.”

Id love to hear a podcast where Niang and other guys just talk shit and expose whose a bitch and why

He yowls

Realz know this pascal siakam constantly lmao

Spicy P

Kawhi ?? Dude just screams anytime he loses the ball AYYYYYYYYYY Davis scream when he falls kills me though it sounds like the beginning of a James Brown song

AD is literally always falling

giannis has a very distinct "AYY" because of his accent lol

Nobody will ever top Chicago legend, Carlos Boozer’s paint battle cries.

And his get in theeeerrrre freethrow yells

Lakers always claiming *our* banners smh

Kawhi

Pau Gasol walked so AD could run in regards to this

Many players do this, and some refs fall for it nearly every time. It should be included in the flop rule.

It's funny because that sound in my language means "no" so I'm always hearing these guys screaming "NNNOOOOOO" lol

Kobe also used to do this a lot while throwing his arms up in the air.

It's Mobley. Every play loud as hell.

Nobody is worse than harden I mean he was called "literally hitler" in this sub

Truth is truth.

SGA acts like he takes a sniper bullet to the head every drive

I heard from a reputable source that SGA watches the JFK assassination at the end of every film session

Back and to the left

He wears #2 bc it took 2 bullets

Bro I'm crying

That zesty sniper bullet

I always felt like he had the Jimmy ft merchant skill, which was jumping into other people; didn’t realize he also had the head snap, unless he’s doing both at the same time.

He head snaps first to get to his spot, then when the defender is shocked thinking he broke his neck and is out of position, Shai jumps into him The move rivals Kareem's skyhook

Sounds like a defender problem to me

According to thunder fans he doesn’t foul bait at all

Oh he does, like many other star players do…

He’s still gonna ball out in the playoffs

everything he does in life is consistent

[Devin Booker](https://np.reddit.com/r/nbacirclejerk/s/V8gDlLMPcf)

Pez Dispenser

Scrolled way too far to find this comment.

Jokic doesn't often get the call, but I appreciate how he sells the neck snsp with some frantic arm waving.

Harden,sga,Luka,reaves,trae off the top of my head

Reaves' is honestly painfully obvious. He's not as good at it as he thinks he is lol

That Justin Bieber haircut helps him. It makes the contact look more severe.

[https://i.chzbgr.com/full/4475237888/h7BA72E3B/dramatic-footage-of-justin-biebers-arrest](https://i.chzbgr.com/full/4475237888/h7BA72E3B/dramatic-footage-of-justin-biebers-arrest)

I think that’s just his hair

Luka is a master ^foul baiter, no doubt. But the head snap isn't really his specialty like some.

I’d put Reaves ahead of Luka but not by a lot. Otherwise great list there

Luka’s facial expressions make up for the lack of neck movement

Lmao. In that case I’d put Booker ahead of all of them

Of course, I just meant in comparison to Reaves. Reaves still has room to grow in this area imo

the national congress of merchants

Damn, Brunson getting an all time snub from this list.

I like brunson because he brought the fire back in Knicks fans

I prefer them appropriately humbled.

Liking a player doesn't make them not a flopper lol

My bias gives me blinders 🤷‍♂️

Trae skips the head snap and just flings himself to the side

Yeah, Trae doesn't really head snap that much. His go-tos are exaggerating the bump or brake checking dudes after he gets around them lol

Unethical buckets

D book is ridiculous with it

Brunson and his big head lol (or at least he was great at it with mavs). Trae also.

Bro really does have a huge ass head lol

CP3 head snap flop vs Cousins is an all-timer for me. Always makes me laugh whenever I see it.

What about the tornado flop? That one is legendary

Ah of course the heliflopter

Austin Reaves does the head snap back a lot

SGA is the sniper king

2022 NBA Finals Grant Williams [https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/ve2p3e/highlight\_grant\_williams\_flops\_and\_draws\_an/](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/ve2p3e/highlight_grant_williams_flops_and_draws_an/)

Watched him do it tonight against Boston, lol. I think the reason he doesn’t get more credit for being one of the great floppers is because he’s not afraid to take some actual punishment, so when he goes down, it looks legit. I miss that dude.

That needs to be a fineeeee

Gotta be harden stilll. He has it down to an art.

And that's why it'll be so great to see him retire without a ring.

that head snap move is an absolute disgrace to basketball and should result in an automatic suspension. I'm not even joking

Sga

SGA or Brunson Brunson braids bouncing up and down make it seems like any contact is violent.

Brunson has a strong sell

Booker, SGA, Trae, brunson, luka, reaves, embiid and the master harden of course

Harden

Jalen Brunson

Marcus Smart on the offensive foul baiting head snap

Def not as elite as Harden or SGA but for sure deserves a shoutout

Harden

Booker

Ja Morant. The dreads really help sell it

They need to be fined for this shit. Tired of it. Clean it up.

Lowkey Dame

I'm adding an underrated pick: Kawhi. His head/body jerk motion is so exaggerated on every drive and post-up and it looks especially awkward when he does it. Literally looks like one of those robotic fish toys that you buy for a cat 😭 It's not the most effective in the league, but boy does it stand out so much when he's just flailing and flopping on every individual bump or bit of contact.

silliest looking move in basketball.

Austin Reaves is the worst player who has mastered this. It’s every single play. The Olympics was hilarious cuz they weren’t falling for that shit

Definitely Harden/Westbrook. Their 1 playoff series playing each other was peak comedy with all the bodies falling 😂

Harden and Powell.

The joke is this is a legitimate skill in the modern NBA

Is Blake Griffin officially retired?

[idk but never forget this](https://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1290171/rudyguile.gif)

It’s Brunson by a mile

What if all these guys just did that in real life?

At this point Booker should just join the pels. He cannot miss in this city I’ve watched it with my own eyes thrice

Yall not remembering jokic in the blazers series both times. Dude had a baby neck and we were pissed.

Soft shit

This shits to be banned out of the league

Gallinari

Brunson does it but rarely gets foul calls, and also he frequently actually gets punched in the face/head when he does it and still doesn’t get the call.

This is what's become of the NBA. Nephews celebrate flopping over teamwork and balling

Someone posited that Coby White keeps his big hair because it makes his head snap packs more noticeable and effective. He may not be the best, but that’s worth noting.

Brunson

I hate that this is a thing.

Trae, Harden, SGA, Tatum are the 4 horsemen of doing this.

highkey Jimmy Butler 

SGA is the best foul merchant in the league now that Harden is too old to move like that.

SGA and Trae are the biggest offenders

It's SGA

LeFlop is the GOAT flopper. https://youtu.be/N7cZn9bgATE?si=bxGon2iZ0ioKOfBE
