hahaha that's the first time I've seen the video of Boogie and Thomas. Boogie is so childish. No wonder no one gives him respect. That's your revenge on Chris Paul? Think of something more painful. Even Cisco gave CP his death stare. So next time, really run over CP
Just like when Barkley was a Rocket,in a game in Utah Stockton set a (extend his arms & fall down) pick on Charles. Barkley kept going forward & literally walked all over Stockton. Something like that will get cp3's attention.
What really bothers me about CP3 is that he's already so gifted, why does he have to embellish every time someone makes contact with him? Don't think CP3 really cares on that post game hand shake. I wonder if Cousins likes Derek Fisher at all, haha.

I don’t respect it. I feel like it’s basically cheating and I don’t respect a cheater. If that’s your tactic to winning, I don’t respect you." How does this guy look himself in the mirror every day?
Some people like to complain that Harden flops... What he does is nothing compared to Chris Paul. At least with Harden there is some semblance of contact and he baits the defenders into reaching in. Chris Paul created fouls out of thin air. Sometimes it's unbearable to watch.
I know CP3 eviscerates your team time & time again, but try to keep a semblance of objectivity here. He "makes a living off" being the best PG in the game, not the one flop he might have a game. And non-Rockets fans find Harden's ridiculous flailing antics unbearable to watch too. There was a poll at RealGM where they basically tore him a new one.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1EOYSzVLQyc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Oh yeah, tons of contact and reaching in there. Give me a break. Just google "James Harden flop" and there's like a hundred hits as bad as this one.
In all seriousness though, Paul flops a ton. Harden flops a ton. They both bait. Why is there an argument over this? I have no problem with flopping honestly, but both players exaggerate contact on a consistent basis.
I never said Paul didn't flop either. I only posted in this thread because I find it hilarious that Cousins, of all people, is saying he doesn't respect Paul because he flops. Because Cousins flops more than any big in the league. Didn't he get knocked over by 180lb Mario Chalmers the other day?
Pretty much...and neither player "Lives off" flopping. Tired of hearing that. They each probably get away with one or two per game. Yeah it's bad...and when it's your guy flopping and getting away with it you usually just laugh and mumble "Dumb *** ref.." As for Cousins he's a flopper too...and the WORST kind. A post flopper. He's the guy that will play post defense for a few seconds and every now and then just flop for a call. This is the worst kind of flop IMO because guys are supposed to play big down there and stand their ground. He did it to Dwight in our 2nd game a time or two IIRC. I really hate that flop and it pisses me off that the Refs give that call to anyone.
