Dirk Nowitzki beating out Manu by a landslide. The dudes hair just moves and he falls its so freaking obvious that he is acting 98 percent of the time, even manu is envious of the flopper :drunk

If you were over 7'1 and played like a guard you would be flopping around too. It's a miracle he can stay on the court as fast as he runs around and attacks the basket.. Look what happened to Horry when he tried to run at Dirk's pace with him on that breakaway dunk. Horry ended up in the cheapseats. And he is several inches shorter than Dirk too.

Nah the best dramatic action was next Brent Barry, that deserves and Oscar, Golden Globe and ... a suspension, nahhhh Stern doesn't do those kind off things ....

Continuing with E! what about the refs calling fouls on TD :D?

no way a perimeter player gets 24 ft's especially in a playoff game. He is hands down the best actor in the game today.

Are you saying that shoving a forearm into the midsection on a drive isn't an offensive foul? Is it required that the player be able to knock down the opponent to be a charge? If that's the case, then it would be impossible for Boykins to commit a charge...

What Oberto's falling down does is expose the extended forearm. That was a foul, so it's not really a flop, per se.

To me, it's only a flop if there is no contact. John Stockton was the master at that.

Oh no! The all-time master was George Karl, when he was a Spur. One evening his flopping started the worst fist fight ever in the old arena. Ask Larry Kennon.
Floppers today are amateurs. I'm surprised Karl hasn't taught all the Nuggets to master something he was the king at.

A Kings fan checking in on flopping is rich. Is your tackle box all set up for fishing, trick ass?

um, seriously, the vlade days are in the past. obviously manu has learned his craft all to well. manu is the worst offender in the league. and i wont mind your tired ass fishing insinuations much longer since the spurs will be joining real soon.

no im saying that a big guy shouldnt fall on his back from a little contact

if Oberto had grabbed Jason's nuts as well then he would have been the of Reggie Evans

Dirk doesn't flop or exaggerates contact. He is directly acting. All the time. He isn't touched and rolls to the ground like he was shot, now that is real soccer floping. He shouldn't do that, he might have an accident and get his ankle rolled again.

Wish I could go with you on this but Manu is still the worst offender in the league. The bad thing is he can no longer sell it. He flops and all it does is give someone an open look at the basket while he sprawls on the court in disbelief.

Tim Duncan and Manu would both do good to STFU and just play. Stop looking for the calls.

Poor Dirk must have been really beaten up today -- he got hit as much as the whole Spurs team got hit last night.

I hope he'll be able to fight through what must be countless bruises to demonstrate his uncanny ability to end up on his ass after shooting the basketball.

Don't worry. Mavs' trainers are fitting Dirk with a pessary. He should be good to go.
