Which NBA players complain the least? Active players only.

[elementally morale]

Which players are simply playing the game without much complaining? Active players only because in the past more physical contact was allowed and neither flopping nor complaining was a part of the game to the extent it's happening today. There are good calls and bad calls all the time. Who are the ones who just go out there and play? (Most players cry half the time they are on the court.)

The first one I had in mind was Jimmy Butler. I wasn't following the Heat much in the regular season but in the playoffs he almost never complains. Who do you got?

Mike Conley
Kawhi Leonard
Steven Adams
Jrue holiday
Cade Cunningham
Wiggins
Maybe Lu Dort

Hmmmm

That’s about it

Steven Adams and Kawhi are great examples. It's easy not to complain if you aren't playing though. ;)

[tpols]

None.

I didn't watch many Knick games this year so I'm not sure but what about Jalen Brunson?

[elementally morale]

Kevon Looney almost never complains. Klay Thompson doesn't complain much.

[kawhileonard2]

Kawhi

[RRR3]

Kevon Looney almost never complains. Klay Thompson doesn't complain much.
Klay whines a lot when he loses. Maybe not to the refs but to the media.

[Micku]

Mike Conley is the most notable.

Butler doesn't complain too much either.

Jarret Allen to me. And maybe Shai, but I haven't watched him enough.

TJ McConnell

lmfao (he does all most every play .. and its verbal)

I have to say Steven Adams ... he does look at ref's with open hands... but he is I think the best non-complainer.

[Jasper]

Kawhi

has issues talking so he doesn't want to look handicapped.

I still watch old games, and that's one thing you notice, that people might bark, but it's not after every play is over, people laying on the ground looking at the refs while the other team fast breaks.

That and not having dudes doing ridiculous celebrations after every basket... it's pleasant.

It'd be nice if the refs weren't even accessible. loool but if there was like some computerized system that detected physics (push off of each players legs, contact, etc) and was ultimately ruled on by specialists as to what was a foul or not, as well as people watching in real time, it would probably be better... but on the other hand, I have this image of, instead of whining to refs, NBA players doing some kinda look at the ceiling WHY GOD WHY!? sort of thing after they felt the call went against them.

Legit tho, by now they should have a pretty clear definition of what a foul is. Some of the tech NBA is using already is nuts if you look it up. Some people might be able to trick the machine per se, but that's why you have a human or humans to override. Could be like a boxing card, have the 3 refs.

The one thing that refs are good for is getting between dudes who are about to fight or w/e. Some of those dudes are strong as hell.

But ye... time to evolve. I was watching the Finals, as I said, and I've noticed this before as well, but people travel A LOT. Jokic is a prolific traveler in terms of shuffling his feet, wow. It's pretty amazing that they don't call it. Tatum is a big traveler, too. All that shit could be cleared out with a non-human. I mean, they could put it on something, even that would help. Did they shuffle their feet? Is the ball sticking to their hand too long, is the ball out of their hands before they start making their step, etc. Those things are SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIABLE. It's not even a judgment call, unless you're gonna call a foul.
