All players act a little... look at Nash's flop that cost Horry two games!
So Manu's a great flopper - as long as the refs reward it, players will keep doing it.
It would be stupid not to take advantage of it.
Unlike Hamilton Manu takes the hits going to the basket.

I admit Rip flops and is a drama queen.
You guys don't even want to accept the fact that Manu is a huge flopper.
Yeah I think Fisher was mad cause he looked up at the clock and he knew he wasnt going to get another chance at .4.......so he decided to get himself thrown out.
he is a flopper but no more than Hamilton.
and not even close to Wade level.
I admit that.
did anyone notice Fisher was about to cry as he entered locker room?
The technical on Fisher was a horrible call. Manu flopped, just like Nash did.
Beware of game 4 flops.
fisher's reactionary flop to ginobili's flop to get fisher that tech was hilarious. i did like ginobili being aggressive and going to the rim no matter what. he was taking a lot of hits in the 4th. fisher on ginobili is not a good matchup for fisher, but i guess they would rather have him on the court than giricek.
Rip flops when he is sitting on the bench.
dude has way more on his mind than this series.
So we outscored them flopping?
It was not a flop...he was pushed and he went sideways, then Fisher had an even more exaggerated movement in the opposite direction. I would say that Fisher flopped, and Manu just slightly had an over exaggeration.

Typically a flop is pretending there was contact where there was none, or pretending there was severe contact where there was minimal contact. Let's use Verajao's flop against Rasheed at the end of game 2 as an example, because that was a textbook flop.
Manu hasn't flopped nearly as much this year as he did in the past, and most of you don't even watch Spurs games enough to realize it, which is why I personally take issue with the accusations, because it's not only lazy but intellectually dishonest. The fact that you would look at the box score, see the number of free throws he attempted, and just say that he flopped his way into the victory is re ed, and frankly, it's beneath you.
Manu went to the line four times off frustration fouls, was fouled once on a three pointer and shot a couple of technicals. He was aggressive and got hit hard to go to the line the other times, and had no need to sell any of those calls. Manu took the hit from Fisher that he could otherwise have avoided, but if Fisher was going to be stupid enough to try to get away with it right after his own flop, he deserved the technical.
Nash's play wasn't so much a flop as selling legitimate contact, and it would have been a great play if his own team hadn't bought it. Nash turned a trip to the foul line into an ejection for Horry, two shots and the ball. He sealed the game with that flop.
I know a Pistons fan, with Rip Hamilton on the team, is not crying about flops. That would be complete hypocrisy.
Who gives a ? They won. Manu nutted it up and took the ball to the rim. He took the abuse dished out to get to the line and bring the Spurs their 1st ever playoff win in the Salt Palace...er, Delta Center...er, Energy Solutions Arena.
So now we need another BLACK EYE on manu in order to say it wasn´t a flopp??????????come on you all,Fisher(like many more)got frustrated coze he tried to get manu out of his zone,by pushin,grabbing,etc. and couldn´t do it.
No, it's not. Not, when I readily admit Rip is a big flopper.
It's just that some--not all--Spurs fans are trying to make it sound like Manu hardly flops at all when he, in fact, is still one of the biggest floppers in the league.
It's like Spurs fans complaining about a player on another team being dirty when the Spurs got Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry. It doesn't mean Spurs fans can't complain about dirty plays by other players.
It's not hypocrisy.
correction, manu WAS one of the biggest floppers in the league. He was since been dethroned by guys like Harris, Wade, Kirilenko, etc.
Manu is not one of the biggest floppers in the league anymore. watch the games. and stop talking out of your ass
Correction: until he came out of retirement last night.
Except that he isn't. He's not even the biggest flopper on his own team. He might not even be second anymore. It's okay if you haven't been watching; your opinions make it sort of obvious, but to imply that he somehow got to the line last night by flopping is downright disingenuous. And implying that you meant anything other than that when you came in here calling him a flopper is just an outright lie.
watch the game. he did not flop more than Fisher or Kirilenko
First, I've watched every Spurs playoff game this post-season, just not intently, and just not every single play and every single minute.
Next, based on last night's fourth quarter, Manu is still a huge flopper, and he proved that he will do it if he believes he can fool officials into helping the Spurs.
I didn't say every foul call he got was a flop. I didn't even say he didn't deserve to go to the line as many times as he did. I'm just saying he's still ready and capable of flopping big time. And, he did last night.
Happy?
Quote any of my posts saying that Fisher and Kirilenko did not flop. I haven't talked about Fisher and Kirilenko and their flopping. I've been talking about Manu's flopping. Tangental to the discussion.
