"AAAARGGGHHHH," said Rafer Alston.

is this a real thread?

 

errr so does tmac

your point?

 

Kenny Thomas used to do that a lot, no?

 

A ton of players do it. Believe it or not it actually seems to help them get calls, so I'm all for it in Rafer's case.

 

aren't we 1-4 in our 5 game road trip?

give the guy a break..

 

And Yao should follow suit.

 

Yeah, a lot of ballers do it. It's to help us get the refs' attention for calls when the contact might not be visible enough.

But yeah, I can see why it gets irritating, but personally I just find it quite funny, especially the way Tmac and Rafer do it.

 

does anyone notice how players always put up their hands and have that "what?" look on their face when they get called for a foul?

 

it's a good way to try to draw a foul. of course the refs don't buy it if you do it EVERY time...

 

I hate this... it's kinda whimpy... fine to do it if you actually get hit, but leave it out if you do it every time...

 

and I am totally not cool with people creeping behind me, and put their cold hands on my neck to surprise me, totally annoyed with that!

 

Never heard him throw out a 'splort' before. I suppose there is a first time for everything....dunno....maybe that's a WNBA reference?

I hear they have a 'splort' problem...

 

Absolutely outstanding thread Title: love it!

 

It's a form of flopping.

 

Serena Williams does it everytime she swings, and so does that other girl who turned good recently, and they're elites at their game. So I can safely conclude that Skip to my Poop is an elite NBA player.

 

I'm more annoyed when he misses an open shot.. but to each his own I guess..

 

I am annoyed by pointless dribble like this.....look up...yeah, there it is.....you found it!
