Those were stupid.
That one is a fact. People talk about Manu flopping but he's constantly drawing contact, enough contact to be called el contusion. Where are the bruises on the floppin and flailin fraulein?
Those were stupid.
They only had enough imagination for 59 seconds?
While those videos ARE pretty lame...
Cubie is a genius...
Fact? What? Let's break this down, shall we?
1. Dirk is the lamest flopper in the NBA. Manu has more of a reputation for being a flopper than Dirk does. Even Raja Bell is climbing up in notoriety.
2. Manu has bruises all over his body to show for his play. -And you would know this how? Every player takes a beating over the course of a game. If you're so close to the players as you seem to think you are, check out Dirk's teeth next time and count the fake ones. He helped the Mavs win Game 6 in Phoenix after battling through food poisoning the day before. Let's not pretend that Manu is somehow tougher than Dirk is.
3. Your third line is bull and doesn't need to be addressed.
What have we learned here? That you confuse fact with your own undeveloped ramblings.
Jumpshooters don't
CLASSIC!!!
Are people still calling Dirk a jumpshooter? Seriously...
Does this look like a jumpshot to you?
Dirk was tougher than Manu on that play...
Dirk's toughness is SEVERELY under-rated...
lmao this is hilarious. You don't actually think dirk is a match for ginobili do you? Ginobili is such a great flopper it's comical. Even players around the league hate him for it.Nobopdy is as good as _irk. Manu actually has to be touched. _irk goes into a gran mal seizure when someone gets within two feet of him. Of course Manu actually plays D which gives him a few more opportunities to flop than _irk.
They gave him the lane, go look at his fouls on your tivod games, if you don't believe me. Also I'll go ahead and give you the foul where he stepped on Duncan's foot because he had to drive to get the foul for stepping on his foot.
If Mavs fans are going to ask us to be objective and characterize Manu as a flopper, they have to be objective and say the same about Dirk. It's clear that both guys are good at exaggerating contact to their benefit. I'm sure that both players make opposing fans crazy with the benefit that they get from that sort of play. But to say that Manu is somehow leagues worse the Dirk as a flopper is denying fact. It's rather obvious in watching him that Dirk flops and flails on the offensive end with the best of them. I don't see how anyone can really deny that.
THATS just homerism.
Once again Dirk won the game by stepping on someone's foot, that is a flop of unparraleled proportions
But he didn't flop he actually tripped on duncans foot. Whether it was a foul or not he still had a reason to fall.
My God a seven footer taking it to the basket once in a while. Wow.
Dirk's a pussy. Look at 82games.com and see how often Dirk scores in the paint compared to the real big boys. er gets bailed out everytime he gets in the paint and gets breathed on. Like I said I literally can't remember a time Dirk went into the paint, went into his flailing act and didn't get the call. Remember the BS call on Duncan end of game 3?
Looka the last plays of regulation game sven. Dirk hooks Bowen, rips Manu's shoulder and whacks Duncan on the head in the span of twenty seconds and refs give him a pass.
Yes, Dirk flops too...neither him or Manu are great at fighting thru contact, or they just choose not too.
I think Manu looks like a bigger flopper to most because he's smaller and he flies all over the place. When Dirk goes down it's more clumsy looking. I rate Manu just ahead of Dirk. Sometimes when Manu flops it looks like a sniper got him from the top row of the arena, or he's playing soccer and somebody just tackled him in the penalty box and he's trying to draw a PK by taking a dive...
It wasn't a foul, hence a flop
I'm thinking about the Heat...sorry...
Most of the REAL big boys are sitting on their couch I suppose...
He rolled his ankle...hardly a flop...
and yes, most likely NOT a foul...but who could've called that correctly at real speed??
A flop is faking a fall to draw the foul, Dirk did not fake a fall, he actually tripped. This makes it not a flop.
Once again thanks to Mavs fans another thread has gone in an opposite direction as what it was intended for.
I think one could argue that Manu takes much stronger contact than Dirk does, though, which might also account for why he appears to go flying all over the place.Yes, Dirk flops too...neither him or Manu are great at fighting thru contact, or they just choose not too.

I could have.
