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?'”
