    A flop should be called a foul on the defense. Until Stern makes that a mandatory rule, it won't stop. Give the refs lessons this offseason about what is, what isn't a flop. Change the rule. Improve the game.

    Can you imagine trying a flop in a pick-up game? A high-school game? Heck, you barely see them in college games. For some reason, in the NBA, refs can't figure this out.

    Flopping bothers the hell out of me but that was still funny especially since it was against Memo. I have no respect for that crying little pansy Memo at all. None.

    exactly my thoughts, i've never seen davis to it the rockets, because rockets don't do that stuff, but the jazz have no problem flying off the court when someone puts a pinky on them

    The best flop(s) ever happened around a decade or more ago : Rocket against the Utah Jazz.

    Is Tim Melton still on ABC News? I believe he was doing the sportscast that night where they caught footage of at least 3 Utah Jazz players simultaneously flopping with barely any contact. It was synchronized flopping at its best. I wish I could get a copy of that footage.

    considering that's okur's main defense against yao, it's even funnier. a taste of his own medicine.

    He does flop but for god knows what reason Okur actually mans up really well and holds his ground. It's too strange to actually explain, I certainly haven't found a reason for why he is able to.

    I think he immediately realised his flop was too obvious and just got up. LOL. I can't stop laughing at him.

    oberto isn't so bad.

    dirk is the worst though. not just flops, but whines all the time.

    Ditto. It's very obvious that B-Diddy was just mocking the Jazz and -- particularly -- Okur's flopping arse.

    As the Guinness ad would say...BRILLIANT!

    I've taken a charge in a pick up game. A guy was driving in and I was right under the basket and there was no way that I could've stopped him. As soon as he came, he barely grazed me and I went flopping down Baron Davis style. Moments later my team had the ball and he apologized hahaha.
