    He's one of the biggest, if not THE biggest flopper in the NBA.

    One of the worse you will ever see right here:

    He is a flopper, but he apparently isn't too bad, if 2 of the 3 videos you grab are from last year.

    Did you see the Tyson Chandler one? Have you ever seen a worse flop that than that?

    It's the quality of the flops. Those are Serie A-level flops.

    He might not be a starter on Oklahoma City but AC Milan or Juventus would start him easily. The explosive, back arching impact, the desperate clutching of the face like he's been attacked by an Alien face-sucker, the writhing on the ground in pain and anguish - those are all world class.

    Of course others have to flop. It's the only way they can get as close as possible to getting calls like Wade does.

    The last play on lebron where he a got a blocking foul on Bron was a flop. He was trying to draw an offensive foul so you can't feel bad when they gave Bron the FTs.

    But the real question . . . does he have intangibles!

    LeBron in the series against the Pacers when David West and Danny Granger trapped him and he jumped backwards like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson just drop kicked him in the chest.

    I've been going on this for a while. Took people till the NBA finals to notice.

    I think because he looks cool and isn't a Euro people don't think he's a flopper.

    His offense is basically run into people and flop like you were shot.

    From Grantland.

    In terms of pure volume of flopping for one player I don't think Harden is matched.

    Yes, he is a flopper. Do I hate flopping? Yes, I do. Would I want James Harden on the Rockets? ****ing right, I would.

    obviously not as good as the fabulous divas, because nobody falls for his flops anymore.

    Lol I got a good chuckle when he said he looke up to manu. He is embarrassing manu. He has to put more effort in his flops.
