"Flopping" now a foul in the NBA. (Yup, its basketball season)

[henslee]

Among the topics was closer scrutiny on players who embellish the appearance of contact when attempting to draw charging fouls.

2. Um.... whats flopping

I mean other than what Dennis Miller has been doing for the last several years.

3. when u play defense in basketball and pretend the other guy

knocked you down and then you act all hurt when in reality, he barely skinned you --- the goal is to get the referee to call a foul on the offensive player.

12. Yeah... That's Pretty COMMON.

4. THANK GOD

5. About flippin' time.

I absolutely HATED that crap. It's not basketball. It's just garbage. Vlade Divac made a career out of it.

As for the dunk, I've GOT to one up you. Here's the greatest dunk in the history of basketball.

8. Maybe I'll start watching again

Though I have to admit, I used to get a kick out of laughing at players when they did that. My mom and I had a habit of yelling "Drama Queen!" whenever guys did that. :P

10. Vladi Divac was the King of flops when he was a King

the second he got near Shaq, he flopped.

[WeRQ4U]

11. It's all he could do........being geriatric and all. n/t

[Chovexani]

13. Hehe

I used to call him "Academy Award Winnng Vladi Divac" for just that reason.

Him and Reggie Miller should have been pro wrestlers the way they liked to sell bumps. :P

14. If 'Flopping' were totally Illegal in BounceBall

the whole 'Sport' would be banned as a total 'Flop' :eyes:

it has about as much clout as the WWF (or WWE or whatever)

[Fox Mulder]

15. I thought flopping was...nevermind.

I don't want to toy with the mods right now.
:D

16. I'd rather they enforce travelling.
