AK-47 is definitely one of the top 5 floppers in the league. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUJW_8KzzZc
Since when was Iverson known as a flopper? That's news to me. Don'y forget about Horry. He'll flop on you. Battier has become a nice flopper.
Iverson flops almost any time he has the ball and he is about to shoot or in the process of shooting and he gets breathed on. Its just his is so ridiculous looking that the refs don't usually call it. Atleast that is what I've noticed. He doesn't flop like Manu or Devin, they do it dramatically and really sell it, AI doesn't sell it very well.
I think we need to distinguish between defensive floppers and offensive floppers. The great floppers in the game can do both, but most flop on only one side of the court.
1. Devin Harris 2. Manu 3. Varejao 4. Okur 5. Oberto From what I've seen, Derek Fisher and Dirk have toned down their flopping a bit. If it was two years ago, they'd both be near the top. I didn't think AI was a flopper. He gets A LOT of whistles from the refs, but he also does legitimately get fouled a lot.
= + translated: Flopper = Flapper + Whopper ... I know I am not funny anymore, but I'm really proud of that one.
I didn't read your 2nd paragraph cause your 1st simply does not make any sense. Devin Harris is 500% flopper than Manu.
Iverson been a flopper. Anyone on this board can recall the game in Denver last season when AI ran into Tsakalidis(I think, not to sure who it was) and he went tripping up and sprawling like an injured Power Ranger several feet beyond the 3pt line. Best part about it is that the ref wasn't having it and quickly called a travel on AI. As for Horry you are spot on <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8ukde193ivM&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8ukde193ivM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I saw that play, that was the highlight of my evening. Davis went for the steal, and Devin Harris instantly went for his epileptic attack thing and crumpled to the floor. As if he was anticipating the flop, Baron Davis instantly flailed his arms back in innocence. Ref sees everything and doesn't blow the whistle, so Baron Davis goes ahead, takes the ball to the hoop, drawing a foul on dirk. It was even funnier to see Harris whining to the ref afterwards and the ref was like "I was right here. You flopped."
damn, that fool has some serious Bicep action.. wonder if it's natural.. no homo, btw..

Well, reading two sentences written by you was painful enough. If you think Harris is a bigger flopper than Manu, that's fine. I've never seen a bigger flopper than Manu in my life.
No, if the league does that, it will change nothing. Four times out of five the flopper benefits from the call. Refs obviously can't differentiate between legit contact and flopping. Fines and suspensions is the only way out of this. As for the topic, harris is number 1 by a mile. I've seen games where Manu didn't flop. I've never seen one where devin harris didn't. I bet he flops in the games he's inactivated for too.
Devin Harris (its not even close) If I could kick one persons ass in the world it would be this b****. Ginobilli - on offense and defense he puts on Oscar winning performances. Fisher - getting old, but age has only made him better. The Entire Dallas Team - Flopping is probably what these guys do to kill time. b****es. The Entire Jazz Team - The inventors of Synchronize Flopping. They go down, but go down in style. Kobe, AI, Wade, etc. don't flop as much as they love to exaggerate contact on offense. Just as bad, because cheating is cheating. They guys can go to hell too.
Man isn't that JVG calling out Horry's flop?? Wow and he was criticizing the refs on national TV too. You go JVG!
can't believe no ones said robert horry.... <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8ukde193ivM&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8ukde193ivM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
how bout reggie miller? or james posey? he's probably not a flopper, but he's still a pretty cheap defensive player.
