Flop of All Flops
Believe.

Boing!
Watch how he pushes off with his arms
I don't understand what the you guys are talking about. In the couple of decades that I've watched the Suns, I don't think I've ever seen them flop on a single play.
Raja Bell isn't a flopper, he's just very elastic. Nash really is that light. Shaq isn't falling down, the rest of the world is falling up.
The Suns... Floppers? I don't think so.
"Don't take it the wrong way," Rich Kamla asks. What is the right way to take it? That Rick Kamla is a dumb cheeseball?
His list was compiled by a bunch of old timers who hardly even played with the players they chose. Given that, how could they not mention the guys still in the league who they did play with who are habitual floppers? Derek Fisher is one of the bigger floppers of all time.
Their list seems pretty nativist. And the one American player they throw out there is a complete nobody.

Wonder where all the Suns trolls are now?
No Battier?
Flopping started with Divac?
it really annoys me that flopping in the NBA is always pinned on foreigners, when there are countless stories from players in the 70s (when there were no foreigners playing in the NBA or ABA) talking about flopping and how to address it.
even moreso when there are so many guys that flop a lot in todays game that arent foreign.
but then there is the guy who accentuates contact, and the guy who makes it up. and then, the most de able:
the dead ball flop, when the player is just looking to get another guy in trouble over nothing. Im looking at Baron Davis (on Okur) and Chris Paul (on Bruce Bowen). Has Vlade or Varejao or Manu ever flopped on someone in a dead ball situation? to me 1 dead ball flop in a season is a way bigger cheat than a guy who accentuates contact 4 times a game.

those are the ones im talking about, someone who knows how to embed can put them up
What the was the call on that play?
And concerning Fernando's post, the last AK flop and the invisible man charge with Duke were the best, easily.
Look at Dampier's right hand. He's the one who makes the foul, not Dirk.What the was the call on that play?
Cool. I just have never seen a player foul his own teammate. What are the rules for that if said team is out of fouls to give?
Kenyon Martin is a huge flopper, and Devin Harris had a year when he was with the Mavs that was outright embarassing before he cleaned up his act. Jacque Vaughn is the worst flopper on the Spurs, as I've seen him stand there and fall backwards with no contact and get calls. And that's the key: as long as the refs are going to reward guys for doing it, don't blame them for trying to get every edge they can.
Who was it that Tony Parker threw halfway across the court in the game the other day? I remember JVG joking that Parker really is strong enough to do that with just his elbow.
Nene I think, but that was a week ago so I could be wrong. I remember in 07 when Parker barely touched Okur and he went flying. Mehmet could give Manu lessons.

Europe invented the Flop. And when the Flop first started getting noticed, fans loved it. Now they cant stand it. Unless of course its your player who flops and the foul goes against the opponent. I personally dont care either way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Facial flop?
I'd love to see it in youtube, if you have. Thanks!!!
Amare Stoudamire has been flopping like the best this season:
Good point. Also, flopping is always a calculated risk-- if a defender does it and doesn't get the call, he leaves his guy undefended.
