    it's the leagues fault. If they didn't allow it.. then it wouldn't be a problem. If you can't beat them.. join em. I hate flopping but if it gives the other team an advantage then the Rockets need to channel their inner Vlade Divac and get those same advantages.

    Shane Battier is wrong. Kevin Martin is the correct answer.

    Exactly. Battier could have called out dozens of players, but he chooses to call out his former teammate/one of the nicest guys in the NBA. Glad he’s gone, Parsons is 10X better anyway.

    He's not saying Scola is the player who flops the most or that he's a flopper. He's saying Scola is very good at flopping badly, which is true. Martin and lowry both also flop, but are actually good at it.

    I was being semi-sarcastic. Battier is one of my favorite players. Guess I should have added a :p to be clear

    Battier does not flop. He takes legitimate charges.
    Scola flops and flails on the ground. So does Martin. Lowry can at least play without getting foul calls.

    Battier probably assumed most NBA players wouldn't know what "egregious" means.

    What about Cryilenko and the Jazz bunch?
    Hypocrisy, he should join them in Salt Lake.
