Manu Ginobili is so damn good. But yeah, it sucks watching the team you root for go against him because he has taken flopping and complaining to a whole new level.
He's just giving his fans what they want!

Look at the Hornets players. They're walking back the other way.
CHRIS PAUL ATTEMPTED TO FLOP DURING A DEAD BALL SITUATION.
I will laugh with no guilt when he tears a ligament with his little figure skater twirl act.

While I agree that the Spurs are one of the whiniest teams, I think the flopping has dialed way back in the last 2-3 years.
Let me be clear about what I consider a flop. To me, a flop is going down with no contact, or a grotesque exaggeration of such contact, like CP3 with his pirouettes.
Pop actually talked to Manu a few years ago, and told him that the flops were hurting the team. When he didn't get the call, which was happening more and more, it generally led to an easy basket.
So CP3 is actually pretty smart for waiting until a deadball to flop.![]()
Not really,
the first one, Paul extends his arm, it is considered pushing off, an offensive foul.
Second on, once again, Paul extends his arm and pushes off on the second call, Bowen helps sell it, but bottom line Paul pushed off, you can't do that
Third one, West extends his arm and pushes off.
Flops no. A flop is a blatant act on a no call or an over-exaggeration of minor contact.
The second one could be considered a flop, but Paul extended his arm and that's blatant foul no matter the reaction.

I think Duncan exaggerated on the last one as well, but West should have done a spin move since Duncan overplayed him to his right. We don't see alot more spin moves anymore. Plus its hard to draw charges if you're already deep in the paint.
I think CP3 is a marvelous basketball player. He needs to mature just a little. If Lebron were smart he would join CP3s team and win 3 or 4 les.
That's it! the perfect description of the flops from chris fall= iest
it just annoying![]()
I have said it bunch of times but I have hated that guy since he punched Julius Hodge's nuts back in college. Didn't like how he lied afterwards claiming he never punched Julius even though it was on tape. Then afterwards when he was going to get suspended made up another lie that NC.State fans were chanting they killed his grandfather and thats why he punched Hodge and that was bs to because I was at that game. The guy is a head who has an at ude that he is bigger then the game and can get way with whatever he wants to do. Plus dude has little man complex which gets real annoying after a period time. I would love to see him get mawled by Artest or Jax.
I'm with Manny on this one.

That video with the 3 "flops" is alright because NO, especially Paul, push off with their arm every ing time down the court.
If you have to exaggerate to get the refs to finally call that , so be it.
By your reasoning flopping is something only the opposing team does. Team that you route for "sells", team that u dont "flops".
Its obvious he did, its a clear foul. Saying that, its also quite clear that Oberto's foul didnt casue 3 pirouettes that Paul managed to do before hitting the ground.
Sequ... with the voice of reason... no, NO!!!!!!

I haven't seen Manu flop for several years now. I've seen JV flop, I've seen Oberto flop, I've seen KT flop, and I've seen Horry flop in that time, but I don't remember a single one by Manu. It doesn't mean he hasn't done it, but if he does it's very rare. I don't consider Manu a flopper any more than I consider Devin Harris a flopper, because they both pretty much stopped doing it. Chris Paul is in his flopping prime, and you can get one or two examples in EVERY game they play.
Yeah he did a great job of pretending like a 250 pound man hit him in the chest with his shoulder. Oh wait, that's actually what happened.
To me, if you're the defender, and there's contact and you go down, it's never a flop. If the player can't control his momentum, and he goes into your body, even at low impact, you're under no obligation to stay upright, even if you can. It's a charge, any way you slice it. Going down just "sells" a foul that was actually committed to the referee.
A flop, in my book is where there was no foul or no contact. CP3 is one of the best in the business doing it on offense. Most other players flop on defense.
Chris: Uh tim?
Tim: Yeah?
Chris: Can I hug you for one more minute?
Chris: This ball's mine! This ball is ing mine! Refs!!!
ALSO DON'T FORGET TO PRESS Z OR R TWICE
yes, that's why the announcers said they were good plays
lmao @ saying that Bowen flops

Dude, please. Chris Paul's exaggerated flops are indeed THE worst in the league, reminiscent of Steve Nash and yes Manu a few years ago (with the hair). Manu has noticeably backed off the flops over the current year and last year simply because he is not getting those calls as much. What I hate about CP is not the flopping and attempts to draw calls which all players do to an extent, but it's his punk at ude which rubs off on David West and Tyson Chandler and the team in general. Chris Paul will become great when he develops a mature leader's mentality. As it stands, he is a macho hot head who takes alot of calls personally.
