one thing i hate though is why do they not call those after foul shots anymore, but still let dudes like wade and kobe do that pump fake/jump into the defender shyt?

if u get the defender off their feet then purposely jump into them that shouldn't be a foul IMO it should just play on
I hate this shyt right here.

lotta people will be exposed if that were to happen.
That shyt extended Derek Harper's career at least 5 years :evil:

Also, it's funny how nearly all the folks complaining on this thread use their arguments against Heat players.
This thread probably wouldn't have been made if the Thunder were leading in that series :scheme:

i blame Stern more than anyone else because he won't punish those doing it.

if players/teams are gaining an advantage by falling to the ground on minimal contact, of course everyone else is going to start doing it as well.

its only going to get worse after the massive success of flopping this postseason.

I'm at least glad they stopped giving players free-throws with that 'swing your arms through the defender as you're shooting' shyt. Durant did that ALL the time.

This charge issue won't get better until they extend the restricted circle. No point in playing legit D when the officials are going to bail you out. For that reason, as annoying as it is, I can't really blame the players. Gotta do what it takes to win.

like I said, nikkas bytched when ginobli did it

we bytched when dirk lived off it

we've BEEN bytching about lebron turning into a running back in the lane

we called wade a flop since his championship series

kobe has the most infamous arm flail to date

I mean....I think the coli/sohh/ahh folks have been pretty consistent with our hate lol
