    Did anybody catch that? He said that the Argentine actually teaches how to flop for all of their players!

    .....he is right...

    Argentina is the school of flopping. They've produced two of the best floppers in the world-Ginobli and of couse Scola.

    Its about time we got our own flopper. Now other teams can feel what we've all felt for the last 3-4 years before we had Scola.

    I like Scola.

    But I hate flopping. It's just not basketball to me.

    I thought he was making fun of Scola's haircut and called him a "flapper".
    Suddenly it all makes sense now.

    If you guys don't think Scola, Chuck and Battier flop when they take a charge, you are severely misinformed.

    I thought the other guy (not M Jackson) mentioned that the refs didn't buy the flop on Scola and JVG kind of played off on that. Take JVG with a grain of salt on some things. Later in the telecast he said he wouldn't need a partner for DWTS and that he has great rythm.

    if you think chuck and battier flop when taking a charge, you don't know basketball, what flopping is, or basic physics.

    Scola flops. Shane flops. Chuck flops. We just don't mind or maybe even recognize it because they play for the Rox.

    A lot of times it's legit. A lot of times they also sell it pretty hard.

    Shane does NOT flop, he gets good position and gets bruised every time someone runs into him.

    what do you people base the fact that shane and chuck flop on? you realize falling down isn't flopping right? flopping is snapping your head back on slight contact, or flailing down at slight contact.

    lemme have lebron james run full speed into your chest and see if you fall down or not.
