    I take it that the OP does not like the act of a player flailing after contact to draw a call in his favor from the referee.

    whilst I would love to see flopping highlighted in this thread eliminated from the game, for me it runs a distant second behind soft calls for superstars, and the way they expect the calls... ie the calls Wade gets every night and the calls that won him a title, love the quote a while back from Sheed about when a reporter asked him what he was doing in pre-game warm-ups, Sheed was practicing falling to floor and tossing up shots, his reply 'just practicing my Wade'

    for me offensive flopping is far worse and a major blight on the game

    The NBA should suspend him after reviewing the tapes. Do what Fifa does.....retroactively review the plays and punish them financially.

    No, it is cheating, if the refs can't get it right, and there is obvious flops, go back and punish the players with suspensions.

    If there is legitimate contact etc.....fine, but sometimes the players are just flat out faking and should be suspended for it.

    4 words: "See you in Houston"

    Just wish Yao would have added *** at the end and it would have been a masterpiece.

    Seriously...

    I don't blame the floppers. It seems the league won't do anything about it except for hoping the refs won't fall for it.

    I think CP3 is the most underrated flopper. He flails every time he gets a pick and runs into the man guarding him.

    The more I think about it, Adelman just needs to leave Yao in the game and let Yao play the same exact way.

    DARE the refs to call foul him out in one quarter.

    do u realize how ridiculous that is.

    The Ref can't get it right, so punish the players. :confused:
    how about getting better refs ?
    nowhere in the NBA rule books does it say that faking / flopping is cheating.
    faking is a part of the game. deal with it.

    Why no mention of Jazz floppers yet? They have a whole team of them.

    What's the big deal about Varejao? Can't blame a guy who came from a sports career where everything was fake.
