In fact... I saw him raise his hand to an out of bounds call last game.
Whos does that? I was kinda pissed that he did.![]()
Duncan gives the shocked stare when he disagrees with a call, but I see him raise his hand up in the air alot too (which NO ONE else in the league does). Either way I don't see him scowl all the time like Chris Paul and David West. Lighten up fellas, you're millionaires playing basketball for a living.

Paul is a flopper. I don't think anyone can honestly doubt that. I think it detracts a lot from his likeability -- as do his other antics -- but he's got credibility and the flopping seems to get him calls that he might not otherwise get.
I agree with the idea, though, that Spurs fans aren't in the best position to complain about Paul's flopping or chirping to officials.
Tim whines too much and I think it has hurt his credibility with officials -- a lot. With that said, I think as big men go, Duncan takes a lot of contact that doesn't get called and I think sometimes he gets frustrated with that. His intentional foul on Saturday night against the Hornets, coming on the heels of play on which he seemed to get a lot of contact without a call (I haven't seen a replay), did seem to send a message to his team at least, which played with extreme aggression for the next few minutes. But for Paul's ridiculous 3 point barrage, the Spurs would have run the Hornets out of the gym from that point.
Manu, I think, has gone from pure-on flopping to some embellishment, but I also think that Manu's reputation as a flopper costs him a boatload of calls that other players would get. Officials seeing Manu flailing around aren't always sure if there was contact that warrants a call and I think that on many occasions, Manu loses the benefit of the doubt for the flopping that was such a big part of his game in years past.
Thanks for giving me the QFT on youtube.
I get so tired of watching Chris Paul flop and about calls. Just play the game man, and no your not better than Tony Parker.
exactly...theres NO comparison...Manu actually gets hit first and THEN the whiplash effect...this guy launches himself...lol
