Let me just say that i fucking hate this shit. People acting and/or falling on the ground when not forced. What a bunch of pussies. The NBA back in the '80s or before that never did it. Thats why i think that the NBA was tougher back then. People like Horry, Divac, etc. i can't stand them because this is the best thing they do.
Fuck FLOPPING. If i was a ref, i'd look at the player like he was a jackass. ![]() |

Yeah, it's terrible. That flopping bitch Manu Ginobili gets booed everytime he touches the ball when the Spurs play in Denver.

Like seriously, i don't know who the fuck allowed that shit first, but it pisses me off. Probably because i never have and never WILL flop. Jordan never flopped, Magic never did it, Barkley DEFENITELY never did it. But these superdicks are quick to "sell" fouls. Fucking bitches. And when announcers say that it was a "smart, verteran" thing to do, i want to slit their throats.

Yeah I can't stand soft as shit basketball players. Seven foot 3 pointer shooters and guys flopping all over the place. Just like everything else in the game though, constantly getting worse. Even from like 1998ish, the game has changed so much.

Hell yea, these 6 or 7 foot grown ass men falling on purpose. If i was a female, i would give that guy NO play.
I seriously want to write to Stern and tell him that you guys want to change dress codes, suspend people for years, but allow 30 year olds to flop. The NBA is unintentionally saying to kids that it's ok to cheat/act like you got hurt. Fucking floppers. |

The dress code is a good thing though, it's basically saying you can't wear a tshirt - that's all it is. I think it's good because it just makes the game look better, especially when guys are injuried and they keep showing them on TV (like a star player, like when Nash was out or Stodemire) Makes them look way more presentable then just some random dudes in tshirts.

I guess. The dress code thing messed with my head when they were going through the list. I swear on everything that it basically said "don't dress like a young, black guy lol. But i'm really not sweating it that much because hell, it's going to be like that getting a job. I just wish they did it earlier so it wouldn't look so blatant.

Players that flop, dive, whatever you want to call it, should be given a foul, penalty, whatever. Unsportsmanlike. They do it in hockey, not as much as I'd like, but you cut down on that shit when you call the diver

Last season's (maybe the year before?) playoffs, in the Montreal-Boston matchup, that one call where Ribiero totally fucking dove on a play and got a penalty shot called (I forget the exact situation but you'll probably know what I mean) then like right after the call he got up and was taunting the Bruins. OMG ever since then I've hated him and that opinion will probably never change. Terrible how players do shit like that, just lessens professionalism of any sport |

True. They let this shit look like that's an "aspect" of the game players should know and it shouldn't.

The Indiana Nets series might be 3-1 Indy if it wasnt for the Nets unique ability to flop every time down the floor.
I seriously think that if they called fouls on flops. The Nets probably wouldnt be in the playoffs. |

That series had a pretty sweet ending to one of the games. One of the Montreal players tried to fake an injury and he actaully ended up hitting a dude from his own team which allowed the Bruins to score and win the game.

Rajah Bell flops if Kobe even breaths on him.

I've noticed recently that Dwayne Wade is one of the biggest floppers in the league. Interestingly enough, the thing that tipped me off was that commercial that shows how tough he is by showing how many times he's been knocked down.
I watched it and thought "Huh. Those fouls aren't all that hard. He just kinda falls down a lot." Then, watching his "hip injury" in last night's game, then his heroic comeback, Willis Reed must've been rolling over in his...bed. |

I thought exactly the opposite, but I guess I am somewhat biased. I've seen a whole lot of his games though, and he gets a lot of contact.

So does anybody else who attacks the rim like he does, though. I wouldn't say he draws any more contact than somebody like Kobe or LeBron or Shawn Marion. But he spends more time on the deck than any of them.
