Joel Embiid. Both figuratively and literally.

Harden and Embiid took it to a different level compared to notorious occasional floppers

It's Jimmy Butler and it's not even close.

Easily the best flopper in the history of the sport.

Devout LeBron haters live a very sad existence I’ve realized.

Besides, it’s disrespectful to some guys who have devoted their careers to this. The Hardens, Lowrys and Embiids of the world go out there every night trying to earn that honor, and you give it to LeBron?

I mean, what Embiid does is obnoxious, falling after he shoots, but it’s not exactly flopping.

HELICOPTER Chris Paul is the answer. I’m not searching for the gif, sorry.

Chris Flopcopter Paul is certainly worthy of this title.

LeBron hasn't flopped with any consistency in a decade.

The answer isn't the Harden/Embiid/Young gang either. They flop and sell contact, sure, but they're also great at putting defenders in positions where they're likely to foul.

I think it's Marcus Smart or Derek Fisher. They possess no such skill and their flopping is pure. Derek Fisher would just flail and fall to the ground on half his jumpers. He did it a lot but it didn't work too well. Marcus Smart might be the most skilled flopper I've ever seen. He had one I believe his rookie season that was absolutely beautiful, haven't been able to find the video. No contact at all. Offensive player had the ball, swung his elbows and Smart timed his flop perfectly with the elbow passing by his head.

Amazing how people could forget the existence of Anderson Varejao. This award is named AFTER him.
