Here's a pretty funny article about whiners in sports. I highly reccommend all you guys go over and email the suggestion for the Jazz to be included. http://espn.go.com/page2/s/murphy/030520.html I have already done so!
Vlade takes the cake as far as flops are concerned... Most professional soccer players definitely qualify as whiners... Whatever political party is in the minority in Congress!
My vote goes to Tim Duncan this year. He is the best player in the game, but definitely does not act like it. After every single call he throws his arms to the side and his eyes get as big as Tony Parkers head. He thinks he is God's gift to basketball and should never be called for offensive or defensive fouls.
What about Vlade Divac - the guy looks bewildered and complains each and every foul he's whistled for.
Lately, when you watch a soccer match, you can hardly go through 5 minutes of the game without someone flopping and crying for a card.
I know I'd be calling for a foul after somebody just gave me a shot to the nads with a pair of soccer cleats...
.....bwhfffhhhhaaaa haha haaa haaa.... I'm referring to on-field play. Off-field...basketball and football players definitely take the cake! (whiny voice)..."Give me more money...ten million in a signing bonus is just not enough...I can't live on $125 per diem meal money...jeesh, my agent take a whole five percent...you guys don't understand our problems..."
What about Kobe Bryant? He never thinks he commits a foul and he constantly whines everytime he misses a shot and doesn't get a foul call. He doesn't think he can miss without getting fouled.
