[Article] Is Manu a flopper: Many opponents not fond of his dramatic falls

Good point. Let the refs fix their own mistakes. Get some replay action going!

 

Hey, you're right...my bad. I was refering to wizkid. First time that's happened to me. Apologies.

 

He is both a great flopper (Oscar bound) and a great player at the same time. He has shown more clutchness than Duncan last night and against Suns.

 

Bingo.

If Manu flops, maybe it evens things out for those times like game 1 where he was absolutely thrown to the floor by Ben Wallace and got no call. I'd love to have Manu on the Rockets. The guy never gets tired and just keeps bringing it.

 

Yet I never said they would, or wouldn't...so I'm not sure what your point is. If you're asking what I prefer, I like for players to get by without dramatics, but I understand why it's done. In any case, keep up the reminders, though!

 

hes too damn overrated.

 

This is a concern of mine.

This spells my sentiments out well.

Now that is said even better.

I hate the fake soccer injury/pain thing and think it has no place in sports. I always say known "acting" players need a stigma known by referees, such as no evidence for their falls--e.g., compound fractures, no foul. An extension of no blood, no foul, if you will.

Manu is an outstanding player, maybe even great, but the over the top drammatic stuff belongs in figure skating and p*rn movies, not real sports.

 

took the words right outta my mouth..... er, keyboard.

manu used to be the only spur i liked, but he just exaergerates contact way too much now; he hasn't been like that in previous years. it's really annoying.

 

Yeah, he wasn't taking the shots before, and he wasn't getting the calls before.

 

Are you sure of that? Everytime a player bumped into Yao and initiated contact, it's a foul on Yao's part no matter what.
