Zach Lowe describes Chris Paul's hit-the-brakes foul drawing "not a basketball play".
In his Tuesday ESPN column, Zach Lowe professed a pretty severe dislike of Chris Paul (and other guards) hitting the brakes to draw fouls on the fastbreak. This comes on the heels of Friday night's incident when Paul bumped knees with Anthony Davis, which resulted in the young big man having to be carried off the floor with a scary-looking but ultimately innocuous injury.
"I don't care that I've given this non-play a "dislike" before. It reared its ugly head again over the weekend, when Chris Paul hit the brakes and caused Davis to rear-end him, and the NBA needs to have a serious discussion about labeling this dangerous trick a black-and-white offensive foul.
