Outstanding video. I'd love to see the NBA finally crack down on flopping. 30 some years later, and it's become a bigger issue than I think Red ever imagined.

Ha, my first thought was that some club in Croatia or Italy or Brazil popped that in the VCR, had no idea what he was saying but figured he was teaching them how to flop.

"The best things the refs can do in that situation is ignore the play."

How often do refs do that these days, not only with flopping, but with all kinds of other fouls? It seems like they think they have to call something one way or another if there is any type of contact.

The announcers need to call out these players' manhood when they do stuff like that.

let me get this straight. it's bad to flop, but it's ok to "sell" the foul?
