bron didn't use the bruce lee one-inch punch, but he did enough to take out embiid in the air
i don't like seeing a defenseless player being exposed like that

Right. It doesn’t take much contact at all to impact the landing of someone who‘s in the air.
 
in which way did embiid sorta sell ? just genuinely curious

was it because he didn't have his feet underneath him when landing

its hard to when you are going forward with momentum and someone two arms you in the chest

At first I thought he sold it a tad, but when I saw different angles it looks he did get his fot caught on Bron when he was trying to balance himself out, so maybe didn't try to sell it.

He has a rep though.

I actually didn't think the one on AD was a flagrant TBH. Looked like Embiid was just pulling his arms over and through.

Maybe by the letter of the law it is, but I'm not a fan of flagrants and reviews every time player A touches player B's face. Extra soft.

Honestly think the flagrant rule could use some revamping -

Flagrant Fouls

Referees may use replay whenever they are not reasonably certain whether a foul meets the criteria for a flagrant foul. Previously, the foul had to be called flagrant on the floor in order to initiate instant replay. The definition for a flagrant foul is: Flagrant Foul Penalty 1: Unnecessary...
official.nba.com

A flagrant 1 can be any “unnecessary” contact by one player against another. “Unnecessary” in this context is too subjective IMO, considering basketball is mostly a non-contact sport.

I’m not exactly sure how I would fix it though.
