Billboards throughout Metro Detroit are displaying the message “Brunson, you’re a mother flopper” ahead of the Detroit Pistons’ Game 6 playoff matchup against the New York Knicks.

One of the billboards is located in Hazel Park near the intersection of I-75 and 9-Mile Rd.
Another billboard in Allen Park displays the message on I-94 near M-39, right in front of the Uniroyal Tire.
The ad’s sponsor is unknown as “PFB Anonymous Donor” is written in the lower-right corner of the billboard.
Knicks star Jalen Brunson has faced criticism from Pistons fans due to his style of play where he seeks out contact in order to draw fouls on defenders. This style of play is often looked down upon and called “flopping.”
Brunson has a tendency to embellish the call by abruptly throwing his head backwards when he feels contact or falling over which has led to foul trouble on the Pistons players.
The billboards are indicative of how many Pistons fans feel about how the Knicks star point guard plays basketball.
The Pistons are down 3-2 in the series. Game 6 will take place on May 1 at Little Caesar’s Arena at 7:30 p.m.
