Rudy Gobert’s flopping technique needs some work.

The Jazz center — who fouled out in the fourth quarter of a 112-109 Game 1 loss to the Grizzlies — delivered a blatant flop from the sideline.

Following a Derrick Favors and-1 dunk, Gobert was standing on the baseline celebrating when Memphis forward Kyle Anderson shoved him away as the two collided.

Gobert appeared to pause for a second before he flailed his arms in the air and fell to the floor. His dramatic flop performance wasn’t enough of a sell for a technical foul call.

The 7-foot-1 center’s flop is even better in slow motion:

Following the viral moment, fans picked apart Gobert’s “awkward flop” on social media.

“Rudy Gobert flopped and wasn’t even in the game,” one viewer tweeted.

“That Rudy Gobert flop on the sideline is all time embarrassing,” another critic declared on Twitter.

Utah was without point guard Donovan Mitchell, who’s still recovering from a sprained ankle. The Jazz-Grizzlies first round playoff series continues Wednesday night, with Game 2 tipping off at 10 PM ET in Utah.
