    I know threads have been made before but holy ****. JAmes Harden flops on every damn play. Offense or defense he doesn't care. All he does is flop.


    I'm sorry. I know CP3 and Blake flop. But James Harden is on a whole different level.

    He doesn't exaggerate as much as CP3 sure.

    But he flops way more in terms of pure numbers.

    And his pure flopping numbers tower over anyone else. Its pathetic. I want someone to just lay him out

    flopping will never stop until they start to giving consequences. i read a few years ago that they were gonna start fining for flopping. what ever happened to that idea?

    It should be straight up technicals.

    Cause James Harden will flop on every play since there are absolutely no consequences. Refs feel obliged to call something when a player goes down.

    This is the reason why I don't watch the NBA outside the rockets. Its just a small step above the WWE.

    When is the NBA going to take action against flopping. OK so the ref might miss it in real time. But why dont they come up as red flags during reviews?

    The NBA needs to hire JVG. Let him regulate flopping. He'll take it out of the game in half a season.

    That will not stop it. Just do the same as what they do in soccer. Intentional diving, yellow card. 2 yellow, you are out. You caught with flopping, technical, 2 tech, you are out. League reviews it later and hand out suspensions if necessary. If it was not caught in game, the league reviews certain plays and hand out suspensions and/or fines.

    Yeah, the problem is when the ref notices its a flop, the player doesn't really suffer much of a consequence.
