as biggest flopper in the league. I don't doubt the fact he is a great player, but I HATE the way he plays. When somebody sets a pick on him, he acts like he's been hit by a freakin train. Whenever he goes to the hole, it's almost guranteed, even if he's not hit, that all parts of his body are going to flail in all directions. HE GETS SO MANY DAMN CALLS! I'm sick of it, and I hate how he gets these "grimaces" on his face when NOBODY hits him, or someone "grazes" his arm. Don't even get me started on his sock/chronic elbow stabilizer BS. Translation = bruise on his elbow. He b****es as much, or more than, any player in the league. He only shoots 42 percent which is a bad percentage, and the only reason it's not lower, is because he shoots so many shots. He went 6-27, but finished with 27 points the other night. If Cat shot that clip, everybody would be on him, but since it's Iverson, it's a good game. I've always hated flopping b****es like Miller, and Iverson is quickly entering that category. I will admit he is very dedicated to his team, and their ultimate goal of winning the championship, so I will give him that. Iverson produces, I just hate how people say how "tough" he is playing with all these "injuries", when in reality he is one of the weakest players I see out there on the court. Some people may counter that he is so small, and that he really is taking the hits, but it wouldnt be true. Early Boykins acts tougher on the court than Iverson. ------------------
You are not giving John "Flopping" Stockton any credit. Iverson may be a big flopper, but he takes his fair of physical damage as well. And for the lightest guy in the league (155 lbs) this side of Mugsey , that says a lot. Azim da Dream ------------------ There's a very fine line between genius and madness. http://www.clutchtown.com
Stockton flops, but Iverson puts on the whole act with facial expressions of agony included. Sure he takes some hits, but more of the time he is getting slapped or something else very minor, but acts like he's been hit by a train. ------------------
Don't forget Vlade Divac... that guy flops a lot, but it is not noticed as much because he is not really that great of a player. Did anyone see the Kings Raptors game recently? There was a play where Vince Carter grazed past Divac on a pick, and both of them just went flying 10 feet away from each other! It was hilarious! On the replay, you can tell that neither of them even touches the other all that much, but each puts on this huge flopping display. What would have been funny is if the refs had had any nuts at all, and just deemed it a no-call. But of course, in that match up of flopping, Carter gets the benefit of the doubt, like it really mattered... It was funny stuff. ------------------ "all your base are belong to us!" "you have no chance to survive make your time!"
I agree with you 100% TPL. I can't think of any other right now, but I'm sure it'll come to me later. ------------------ When I die, I want to be reincarnated as that chair in the Britney Spears video.
