    I saw Josh Howard do a Gigantic flop in the Dallas home game after minimal contact from Dwight Howard which would made Ginobili blush.
    I'm surprised why no one has mentioned Okur on the list.

    I've always thought Ginobili was the worst.

    I don't blame Bell for that. Kobe gets by with throwing a lot of elbows and other dirty crap. Even though Bell was able to get out of the way, his flop drew attention to dirty play.

    The Jazz invented and perfected the art of flopping.

    first off, you only mentioned 4 players, not 5 as you claimed. Also, how can Devin Harris not in your list.

    Where is Vujacic on this list???!! Any time he realizes he doesn't have a chance of making a shot.. he just dives on the ground.

    That's the entire Mavericks team. It's comical really. Just watch. They all fall on the ground after they shoot a jumper.

    After watchin league pass, I have compiled a quite detailed list:

    Derek Fisher - both on offense and defense.
    Sasha Vujacic - a really irritating player to watch , 90% of his game is flopping
    Devin Harris
    Kevin Martin - esp on offense, thats how he scores most his points!!
    Fabricio Oberto
    Manu - nuff said
    Bruce Bowen, not the defender he was a few yrs ago so now he has started to flop
    Steve Nash
    Raja Bell
    Amare Stoudamire
    Andrew Bogut
    Varajeo
    Nocioni
    Dwyane Wade still flops alot on offense
    Allen Iverson, OMG he shoots a ton of ft's a game, and watching him constantly flop is really frustrating, A VERY UNDERRATED FLOPPER

    this is just the kind of post jasonemilio is talking about. Some day jasonemilio will have to straight you out young man.



    Dirk, Manu and Devin Harris form the Holy Trinity of floppers. With Manu its sort of art form, against the Mavs the other night I saw him go up on an offensive rebound down low and flail his arms and body like he had just gotten hacked by the defender, even though nobody touched him. Devin Harris is a whiny little flopper, he should be a soccer player the way he goes down and stays on the floor in supposed pain.

    I am insulted by those of you who think Battier is a flopper, I've seen Shane embellish a charge a few times, but I've never seen him go down purposely when there was no obvious contact, and he's taken enough of them right on the chest for this team. So I resent that tone.

    You forgot Manu. :rolleyes:
    Those floppers won a gold medal.
    Because they are also very good basketball players.
