My girlfriend doesn't know a damn thing about basketball and tonight she said:
"That crazy looking er with the ed up hair is always falling down. He must be a pussy. "
I said, "you're right baby".![]()
Nah, Varejao is ok, it's just that you can't hold a trophy in your hands if you're laying down on the floor all the time.
His game will balance out. I'm guessing that the act of more flopping will drive the refs, in the future, to use more replay to determine fact vs fiction.

Varejao is the worst player in the league, he's pretty much mark madsen with a carrot top.
Oh, snap!
in flopping Brazil > Argentina

I said that exact thing last night when it happened.
he should have just stayed on the floor and slithered up and down the court.
he should have just done the worm up and down the court.
We were discussing this last night. On the one hand, I can't imagine that with two "small" markets anyone really cares that much. On the other hand, that might be just the impetus needed to stretch it out as long as possible. Guess we'll see.
haha best post ever.
Not true if you watch their national football teams.
Argentina spends a good 40 min of a 90 min game on their ass.
They show replay of an opposing player running within 1ft of an argentinian player, and the player gos' flying grabing his ankle or some other body part and rolls halfway across the pitch untill the offical says, wtf is going on here?!?
Yeah, Argentina is practically the king of flopping in soccer world. But they're good at that, so what !![]()
One time in the 2nd half he got fouled hard...my wife said something like "he didn't flop that time", to which I said "yeah, someone said 'if you like being on the floor so much let me give you a reason'..."
i think that was horry.........trying to enforce the new no flopping rules....ala nash & pop![]()

Manu is an artist .. Varejão is a pedestrian![]()
don't watch much soccer do you? EVERY national team does this.
But Brazilians INVENTED flopping.
please. maybe 15 years ago, but today the brazilians beat us hand down. show me a single flop worse in any sport than 2002 WC rivaldo vs turkey (group stage). todays players is a different story. guys like riquelme, tevez, messi are constantly getting the crap kicked out of them but they keep going until its called. meanwhile guys like adriano are being suspended multiple games for fabricating penalties literally out of thin air. i'm going to look for a clip of that rivaldo dive, if youre not turkish its good for a laugh.

there it is. disgusting!
my current country of residence has probably the biggest KNOWN cheater in world footie.
i believe in 1980 the chilean national team was playing brazil in brazil and needed a win to get to the WC. the star of the chilean team was the goalie. he had no faith in his team so he wore a ring that day, and when it was clear chile was going to lose, a fan made the mistake of throwing an object near the goal. the goalie acted like he got hit, ducked down, and cut himself with the ring, and the chilean team left arguing the fans object caused the injury and that it wasnt secure to play. a week or so later fifa officials uncovered the plot and gave brazil back the 3 pts, and chile was banned for a couple years, and the goalie was banned for 20 or so years (for a player, basically a life sentence)
i guess thats the only one worse than rivaldo's
he was flopping every chance he had
and because of it, the refs were tired of his so when he was fouled for real they wouldn't call it
