I think Red was onto something!

I'm a Laker fan, but I totally agree with Red. This flopping has to stop! Why aren't these big strong athletes able to stay on their feet? It's sickening to see these players (i.e. Harden, Wade, James, Petrius, Etc) fake fouls on a regular basis...this is especially true since the playoff games have been so close.

It's not about who is talking but about what is being said! Flopping IS at an all-time high in the NBA and its costing teams games.

I loved watching that vid. I'm not of Red aka the biggest PJ hater in the world, but I hate flopping and red is a stop the flop pioneer.

Look, I hate the Celtics just as much as any other Laker fan...I don't even wear green on St. Patrick's Day! But haven't you ever heard of the saying "Don't shoot the messenger"? And as Rodney King once said, "Can't we all just get along"

Anyway, It's not about Red, it's about The grassroots movement...Stop The Flop!

As a basketball purist, I really despise that little semi-circle (the restricted area) under the hoop. It's too easy for defensive players to slide in there right before an offensive player gathers himself and goes to the hoop. Stearn needs to think about extending the restricting area or removing it all together.

I hope something is done about this flopping, it was funny 10 years ago, now not so much.
