Kobe... And I have a problem with it. I don't watch hear guys orgasming at anytime, let alone at a basketball game.

Reminds me of Waterpolo. When you gag on everything. -_-
Recalling my goalie days. I once kicked some poor fella in the back while he's setting up, without the attention of a Ref. He retaliates with a kick-splash, I go URGHHAH. With the awesomely powerfully generated Verbal Flopping, I was able to receive attention from the Ref. BAM foul on the fool.
Oh yeah, the score was tied and we ended up winning the game on the next play. Boy was he pissed when we had to shake hands later... meh.
Sadly, flopping is COMPLETELY a part of the sport waterpolo. It's part of the game. "Too you're dumb enough to get in the position to be Flopped on", was my mentality.
Same EXACT principle applies to "drawing contact" and "jumping through opp. impeding arms" for basketball. People don't frown upon those crap as much, but it's the same principle.

The first thing I thought of was Ben Wallace's "Oohhhh!" he always used to emphasis his "over the back" flop as he'd launch himself out of bounds.
That used to drive me nuts when he was here.

Kobe is the master of the verbal flop but Arenas and Redd do this as well.

T-Mac screams "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy" most of the time too.
Most star players do that.

I honestly think Bosh is the worst for it in the NBA.

Bosh

Bosh. You can always hear him screaming when he driving to the basket.
I also hate those that say "And 1" after ever shot in the lane, even when it doesn't go in.

Mike Redd. He dribbles with his head down in the lane and throws up garbage and screams, "OHHH ANNNDDDD 1111" at the top of his lungs.

Pau Gasol does it..I didn't know until this series..
David West screams "and 1" a lot in an angry way, which isn't surprising since he's David West..
