Best floppers in the league

[40InchVert]

Someone find the video of Kurt Thomas and Amare flopping at the same time on each other. The one where Jeff Vundy called it a triple flop cause Thomas flopped, Amare flopped, and Ginobili was about to flop.

only JVG would have something funny to say about that.

[sarah42]

does anyone remember what JVG called that crucial rebound Kobe got at the end of a big dallas/los angeles game?

JVG called it before it happened and said that Avery should make sure Kobe was covered on both sides.

he always has something insightful to say.

lol this is not suppose to be a real discussion! its a magic fan trying to take a shot at bosh.

I don't know if this has been throw out there (if so by all means lock this) but why wont the NBA assign fouls for flops? I've seen it so much in these playoffs that is is getting very insane. We already know how bad the officiating is in the league and flopping just makes it worse.

[psyclone1982]

Ok, Nash always get mentioned in these things, show me a you tube video of Nash flopping.

He gets allot of offensive fouls called on people but he always takes a hard hit in every game I've seen, he slides his body in late which irks allot of people, the same reason Manu gets on peoples nerves because its dangerous, but he is always set when he takes the charge and he always get hit.

[bjebaz]

The reason Manu definitely deserves to be on this list though he might not be right at the top of drawing offensive fouls, is that he flops while on offense. After he shoots he always falls to the ground with almost 0 contact. Not only that, when he does flop on either side of the ball, he flails around more than anybody.

Derek Fisher - no contest

[AdamTheGreek]

I NEVER thought anyone could dethrone Varejao (the man who flopped on Diener), but God damn it, Bosh has dethroned the king.

Amare might win the award for greatest flop in '07-'08 with that 12-foot launch from Dwight that almost killed Nash.

[sarah42]

are you angry that he gets a lot of calls that a shooting guard would get because he drives to the basket or have you actually seeing him try and take a charge 5 times during each game.

if its the first, well i don't think its called flopping. he's just getting to the line.

[T-Spot]

Flopping is not only done to draw offensive fouls

When people throw their arms out, scream, and try to sell a foul...Like Bosh...That is just as bad

Its basically just a foreign way to play and it is horrible

So I guess Turkoglu flops too?

[OhMyBosh]

There's no discussion here. Just a bitter Magic fan trying to take a cheap shot against Bosh.

As for verbal flops, I'd give it to Michael Redd. I love it when he drives in for a layup and yells "AHHHH AND 1!!!"

Fisher
Bogut
Moore
Lowry
Przybilla

according to 82games.com

[HarlemHeat37]

I never knew so many Magic fans were whiners..I didn't know their fanbase had that kind of reputation..

Funniest and the most exagerrated flop since the world has been created

I am sure if Bosh is even at top 10 at flopping in NBA. If you 4 players in poll, then those 4 have to be close to top 5 atleast. Anyways I agree that Bosh flops time to time, but you can't just judge someone based on 3 games (in these 3 games Bosh is flopping more than b4 for obvious reasons..), you still have to take in account 82 games (a season) and their track record for the judgment. I don't mind people criticizing Chris Bosh, but putting him on top list is exaggerating. Anyways, I agree that he is little flopper, but doesn't really flop that much as he has done in this series. I believe this post was made after we won, shows a sign of frustration (because Bosh was consistent with his game, including flopping), but you just need to relax. Anyways I hope we have great close games like game 2 for rest of the series. Cheers, and smile

I'm sorry but, this is the biggest flop of all time:

i dont care that we lost. i dont care about the magic.

they could lose the series for all i care.. I just wanted to see if other people who were watching the game saw how ridiculous bosh was playing.

[raphleek]

Rockets fans, don't be such hypocrites.
I know losing is bad, but Kirilenko is maybe in the middle of the floppers' stack.

You guys are even bragging about Scola being a great flopper.

Did anybody catch that? He (JVG) said that the Argentine actually teaches how to flop for all of their players!

Its about time we got our own flopper.

.......and so on...

It's kind of strange that so many clips of other alleged floppers are emerging, but none of Bosh have. Even more confusing is that Howard leads the league in offensive fouls (against all the teams he's played, being refereed by many referees) and Bosh drawing offensive fouls on him is somehow surprising.
