If we're gonna talk about the leg kick, then we need to talk about Old Karl Malone and Old MJ, who were both prolific leg-kick BSers on their fades. Kobe, too.

Maybe KAT has electric shock powers in that finger. (ZAP!)

i think of drawing fouls (leg kick, harden's arm lock, etc) as slightly different than straight flopping.

I think of it as acting to draw undeserved foul calls so for me those tricks are included, but I'm fine with different definitions.

Would the Paul Pierce head snap count as a flop? It's fishing for fouls, but it still seems like a flop to me. It's a specific form of an offensive player flopping at little or no contact.

I 100% see the head snap as a flop which a lot of players do lol (cough...Harden)
