Nowitzki magnet for floor

[sa_butta]

Dude reminds me of Antonio Daniels always on the floor. Why does he always feel the need to go to the ground? I mean shit your going to get the call. I don't know exactly how many times he went down but it seems as though he should just start playing from the ground.

Yeah! I can't stand it when Tony Parker keeps doing that!

Wait, who were you talking about?

How many times have you seen Parker on the floor after taking a mid-range J?

[crgassoc]

I think he does it to protect his ankles :downspin:

lame attempt man

go watch every time parker drives into the lane or a floater, and look at him, look....equivalent to cp3 bitchin for calls

[coyotes_geek]

So Nowitzki likes to flop in order to draw calls. So does damn near every other great player in the league in one form or another.

[greensborohill]

Dude is a legit clutz. . . seriously, it's a miracle that he's even in the NBA.

Good win last night by the way.

[HORNSWOGGLE]

it just looks a funny to see someone so big falling like he does:lol

[Shaolin-Style]

He does get fouled but hes seriously clumsy looking. No one even taps him that hard whenever he does it half the time but for the guys height I guess he can't help it.

Unlike Chris Paul doing his best impersonation of a fish in a tornado while being fouled.

[ElNono]

He's been overdoing it for a while now... he didn't used to be like that.
I think it looks even more stupid because he's a 7 footer.

TP goes to the floor after he gets knocked down driving the lane and gets the call maybe 20% of the time.

Dirk goes to the floor from 15 feet out falling away from the basket and losing control of the ball, and get the call 80% of the time.

Yeah! I can't stand it when Tony Parker keeps doing that!

Wait, who were you talking about?

it very easy for tony to fall when hes 6-2 180 going up against bigs that outweigh by at least 40-50 pounds. Dirk is a seven footer that weights 245 and drops if someone so much as farts in his direction.

[kidd_91]

More than half the time Dirk trips on his own feet and falls towards the nearest defender. Parker falls but it's almost like a controlled fall to protect himself from awkward landings. Just my impression.

I think it's the hair. When manu had that flopping hair he was most annoying player in NBA. Now Dirk takes that title

Tony, and anyone else for that matter, who goes down like that in the paint is justified because it saves their ankles. I'm sure he's trying to get calls, but at this point it's more of a habit than anything else because you'll see him do it when there's no contact and no one contesting the shot.

You don't see Tony dropping 15 ft from the basket after every shot.

[Obstructed_View]

There's no doubt that when Dirk's going toward the basket and falling down that the Mavs are a better team. When you see him standing around taking jumpers there's not much reason to fear him as a player.
