The Los Angeles Lakers just suffered one of their most humiliating losses to the Philadelphia 76ers this Monday. With the final score being 138-94, this 44-point loss to the 76ers was LeBron James’ worst defeat as a Laker. However, the heartbreak continued as a Sixers big took a dig at Anthony Davis following the blowout.
Philadelphia forward Paul Reed claimed that Anthony Davis is a “Big Flopper”. A 53-year-old Lakers legend calls out Reed on his bold claim in a recent episode of his podcast.

During a recent episode of “Big Shot Bob Podcast”, 53-year-old Lakers legend Robert Horry disagreed with Paul Reed’s claim about the Brow. Rob Jenners (the co-host) quoted Paul Reed on defending Anthony Davis, “He’s a big flopper. So, I make sure I don’t get in foul trouble early. I can’t get too aggressive with him, he’s going to be flailing so I got to make sure I stay out of foul trouble.”
The co-host then confessed that he has not heard or felt like AD is a ‘flopper’. Robert Horry laughed as he mentioned, “It was funny when he (Reed) said that. Even the coach looked at him like ‘What?'”
“Because it’s like. dude, you not even gonna get in the game that much. Why you gotta be so careful about getting into foul trouble?…So, it was weird when he said that,” explained Horry.
The 7x NBA champion further disagreed with Paul Reed. “I won’t call AD a flopper because he kind of fades away from the contact anyway so you can never say he’s a flopper.”
