The Art of Flop ESPN Page 2

[Joepa]

Ah, to be the envy of the league.

Dirk doesn't flop. He gets hit and exaggerates it a little. Manu acts like he got hit by a truck. It is ridiculous.

What the do you think flopping is?

[Samr]

Since when has flopping become a bad thing? It's an art form and if you can get away with it, more power to you. Manu flops and I love him for it. Horry flops and it's impossible to deny it makes the Spurs better when he's out there.

That's like saying, "He doesn't steal. He gets caught trying to steal." Well who's more of an idiot: the guy who stole, or the guy who got caught stealing?

Haters.....(watch carefully without ure colors on and u will see how theres always someone in someteam doing it.....) calling out manu is not right....all them &Uckers do it!

[totalspurshomer]

when I think Stockton I think...then little white shorts

That's right, how could I have forgotten the nutters?!

Here you go... :throwupsp

[baseline bum]

This is just a hit peice on Manu...and the Spurs.

He put 3 spurs in the "current" flopping list. And included Horry and Parker? Gimme a break.

Horry is one of the worst floppers in NBA history. I know no Timberwolves fan will forget that flop he did in OT to get Kevin Garnett his 6th foul in game 3 of the 2003 first round in Staples Center. It was probably the worst call I've ever seen in a playoff game. Garnett never even touched Rob.

I remember when Vlade flopped in the Finals against the Bulls. I think BJ Armstrong went near him and he ing backpedalled all the way across the lane. I expected one of those Hanna Barbera sound effects as he was stumbling.

By the way, how about foul number six on Duncan in Denver last year, when Carmelo slipped? That was about as bad as there is.

Seriously, I have more problem with guys throwing their bodies into a moving player and calling it drawing a charge than with a defender beating a guy to a spot and falling to force a whistle.

[spurschick]

blah, blah, blah...

[Obstructed_View]

Time to unleash an oldie but goodie...

[IceColdBrewski]

Parker and Ginoblili both flop with the best of em'. Parker ends up on his back after a layup at least 3 times per game, but the refs hardly ever buy it. Ginobili is a little better at selling it.

[krinkx]

I wish he did. That's actually a weakness of his.

i wish all the spurs can do that... with the ft % were having... we need a lot to measure up...

[SouthernFried]

If you think Parker ending up on his back after a layup, is his attempt at "flopping"...your either a fool, or have never played basketball in your life.

[Supergirl]

FLoppers have to be good FT shooters. That leaves Parker out.

[CharlieMac]

Parker doesn't flop, he kind of tumbles when he's fouled going to the basket.
