The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
And you've seen Lebron make a move like the one Marcus Smart did...ever? :mindblown:


SI polled 152 players to ask who the NBA's biggest floppers were. Here are the top 15 names, in order:


Andreson Varejao
Manu Ginobli
Luis Scola
Derek Fisher
Kevin Martin
Shane Battier
Jarron Collins
Raja Bell
Jose Barea
Andres Nocioni
Reggie Evans
Corey Maggete
Kobe Bryant
Paul Pierce
Sasha Vujacic


I don't see Lebron anywhere on that list. He oversells fouls sometimes like virtually everyone else in the NBA, but he's not one of the biggest floppers and he sure as hell doesn't so anything like what Marcus Smart did there. Ya'all have him on your mind way too fukking much.

When is that list from? 2007?

The SI story I linked to right there is from April 2012, but I think the poll actually came from the 2011 season before that.

They need to start fining players more than what's to them pocket change, if they want to stop the flopping. If you told me I'd have a chance to help my team out in a pivotal playoff game by flopping and i'd only be fined 5k i'd do it.
exactly lol @ 5K. at least 100K they might feel it a lil.

Yeah, they got to come down on that crap or they'll just keep doing it.

But flopping has been around forever. Hell, Frank Ramsey wrote an article on how to flop convincingly for Sports Illustrated in 1963. All sorts of players were accused of "falling down all the time" back then.

It was definitely around in the 80s and 90s too, there just wasn't youtube and constant cable highlights to draw attention to it. Guys like Rodman, Divac, Laimbeer, etc. flopped constantly....Horry, Stockton, Ainge, World B. Free, Reggie Miller, Doc Rivers were were known for flopping too, but the NBA protected its brand and didn't make a big deal of it like absolutely anyone can do now. Even Bird, Jordan, and Malone were accused of being floppers on occasion.






How is this the first time i've seen that Divac video i'm in tears breh :russ:

It's another Bron-hater meme, like being a playoffs choker.
