No surprise. KD plays at an entirely different level in the Olympics. He singlehandedly delivered games in Tokyo.

[@hiimanessa]

to get an unsportmanslike foul in fiba, it comes down to at least one of four criteria: contact that isn't a legitimate attempt to play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules, generally excessive hard contact, unnecessary contact by a defender in an effort to stop the progression of the ball before the act of shooting, and contact caused by a defender laterally or behind the player who is progressing towards the basket with no other opponent between them and the basket. just because that one guy from serbia didn't get hit in the face by embiid doesn't mean it's not an unsportmanlike foul under fiba rules.
