Watching the playoffs this year, I couldn't take it anymore. If I have to watch one more player have a more seizure on minor contact, I'm gonna throw up. Flopping has reached the point where every game is affected, and I am disgusted by it as somebody that loves pure basketball.

I've started a petition to end flopping: http://www.floppolice.com/petition

It is targeted to the Competition Committee, who recommend rule changes, in hopes of getting their attention. Once there are enough signatures, I will push to get this noticed by the committee.

I will also track progress and give news updates about the anti-flopping movement on the site at: http://www.floppolice.com

So, if you are as fed up as I am, sign it and spread the word. Let's raise some hell and make sure they can't ignore flopping anymore!!

nice work. I'd rather Manu can't than Sasha can. I recommend a cattle prodding for floppers.

yeah manu and bowen flop like crazy every game, makes me sick

signed it.

Good thread. Flopping on purpose should earn opposing team two free throws.

Signed it. Come on, people. Let's help spreading the word.

Great initiative!

Signed.

I just signed it too, that is one of the worst practicies in the NBA, people like manu acting like they caught a shotgun blast in the chest if someone so much as breathes on them. If it is as bad as they make it look take them out for the rest of the game. Imagine Manu going against Barkley or Malone. He would need tourniquet and some vagisil after that.

Signed - good to see Manu did as well.

i'm not a fan of flopping but how is it cheating, like the petition said?

No need to sign now, eh? It will be very, very interesting to see how these fines will shape the game. Fish, who led the league in offensive fouls drawn this season, might need to clean up his act a bit.

how about sasha in game 4? anyone catch that?

i prefer the sasha move when manu tapped his face in game 5
