It certainly detracts from the game and mocks those who can move their feet to play position d.

If Pierce doesn't flop and ball up in the fetal position, the entire melee is avoided.

I think they should start calling technical fouls on guys that are obviously faking or flopping. It really does detract from the game. They give yellows in soccer for that and since the international players have brought soccer's flopping to hoops, why not?

Bosh deserves a Grammy.....Boozer didn't even touch him

Grammy, Academy Award.....same difference

The right call here would be to eject both of them.

No doubt the worst flopper in the NBA is Kevin Martin. He relies every night on the officials to call fouls for him. His free throw attempts stat tells the tale.

Flop City at it's best.

Griffin has taught his teammates well.

He and Ginobli lead the league in flops.

I enjoyed Jeff Van Gundy's rant a few weeks ago on flopping.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Got a thread on flopping and no one has mentioned Bill Laimbeer. He was an artist.

Thanks for reminding me of some of the reasons I quit watching NBA years ago.

Lebron might've carried on with some antics, but that was a legitimate foul the way Chandler leaned into it, IMO.

Legitimate Foul - Yes.
Flagrant Foul - Absolutely Not.
