A flop is being a pussy and accentuating the contact, Manu gets hit, he gets the contact and falls to the floor technically it's a foul but in the Gym it's one dude being stupid, same as Dirk.
Damn Spurs fans are sensitive these days. Somebody posts some lame ass videos and y'all act like they poked your eye out with a knife.
As for Manu and Dirk, they both flop -- a lot.
This season Manu accidentally flopped once when Nazr barely tapped him (Manu's back was to him and thought he was an opponent) and Manu dropped to the ground as if he had been shot. It was hysterical when Manu was laying on the floor and realized it was Nazr.
Dirk flails more than flops. But give him some credit, he flailed his way to the free throw line and onto to the Finals. Manu has been fishing for weeks.
It's just part of what they do. I don't know why fans get so insulted by it. It's just a small part of their games.

Why wouldn't Dirk shoot from the outside? It's a weapon of his. That's like trying to fault Rodman for just rebounding. It's what they do best.
Hmmm....if a flop is being a pussy lol then i guess you just dissed your own player.
That's what I was going to say.
Spurs fans can't say Manu doesn't flop. That's nuts.
I love Kori...she gets it...
well mav fans cant say that dirk doesnt flop either, plus for a majority jumpshooter he can still have games where he goes to the line more times than the opponets team or close to it(yes he actually did this like 2 or 3 times during the playoffs)
The only thing now that bugs me about that series is that the spurs had 2 consecutive games where one of their 2 best players was taken out of the game with 2 min or less due to fouling out. Those 2 games where basically handed to the Mavs, atleast when Terry was suspended for game 6 the mavs had time to work out a lineup without him. In fact I dont recall one game in the playoffs that Dirk has fouled out of, is that because he is a Bruce Bowen type defender, NO, thats because he stays away from the contact and tough plays on the defensive end
Maun flops sure but he takes a hel of a lot of hits too and he takes a lot of hits with no calls. What is getting really old is Dirk flailing when he goes to the basket and going to the FT line with no contact or contact he initiates. Other guys go in and take hits, Parker, Ginobili, Wade, Maggette and many times with contact get no call. With Dirk, he goes to the basket he'll either get the two, get the FTs or both. Dirk has to be the guy who takes the most FTs with the least true contact in the league. Not Nowitzki's fault but why the can't the refs cut the crap out?
Did i just call Manu a pussy flopper yes, but just like Dallas loves their pussy. I'd rather have Manu than not.
So you agree he shoots more than drives, thus making him a jumpshooter.
What makes Dirk so good is that he can do both, if you play him too close he will go right by you, if you play off of him he will shoot it. I'll agree though that his strenth is his outside shot.
In YOUR opinion...that's a pretty subjective thing to say. How do you collect stats on "true contact" vs trips to the FT line?
People hate Dirk because he's DAMN GOOD and he knocked out the Spurs this year...and because he plays for CUBAN. Bottom line...
If he played for the Spurs, the fans in SA would love him...
He'll do whatever it takes to put the other team away. And as we've see this year, it works.
One drive does not make you a driver, especially when the team gives you the two points.
I didn't realize that that makes him a jumpshooter. Where's the cutoff?? 60/40? 75/25?
A jumpshooter to me doesn't avg the # of FT's that Dirk does...he drives plenty, but is still a badass shooter.
One?? huh???
The drive at the end of Game 7 was his only drive??
And are you saying that Bowen just let him go???
Just go to youtube, there are plenty of videos all about dirk dunking and driving.
What is the opposite of a jumpshooter? Doesn't every player take shots from the outside?
I have no intention of wasting my time navigating through Youtube.
Everybody flops.
Quit ing.
Don't look at me I conceded Manu was a flopper it's these guys that won't let it go.
first of all that shot didnt put the spurs away, the .4 shot is the only picture you can post that says "put the spurs away" the spurs still had 2 chances after that shot; missed layup by manu and a putback by duncan where "questionable" contact was made on both duncan and manu by guess who the Amazing Dirk NoDWitzki plus overtime where they just ran out of steam after fighting back from 20 down, and if the ball in that situation was in the hands josh howard or terry they to would have driven to the lane, what are you suppose to do when down by 3 with less than 24 secs?
so I still find it funny that mavs fans post that picture, its not like that was the game winning layup at the buzzer, even if manu wouldnt have fouled him there the spurs would have only been up by 1 and the mavs would have to foul with probably around 14 to 16 secs left, who knows what would have happened, the mavs might have won in regulation, or the spurs would have made their fts and won the game. But no one knows so stop posting that picture it doesnt say much other than "game tying layup"
This season, 82% of Dirk's shots were jumpshots. So he's a jumpshooter. And a damn good one.
Next.
