Dirk the Flopper

[BeerIsGood!]

Why is it that any time Dirk takes a shot with anyone within 4 feet of him he flops to try to get the call? I swear he creates misses for himself simply because he doesn't go up with a strong shooting stroke and instead throws himself off-balance trying to look like he got hit. When did he start doing that every time he takes a shot? He didn't used to be that bad...

Because he saw how well it worked for Dwade.

Because since he's been given the diva treatment by the refs, it's been working for him. For further evidence, look at the phantom foul called on SJax last night.

It gets old seeing players, Dirk among them, fall down after some jump shots.

And yes, if you're not aware, I mean literally fall to the ground. What an embarassment.
