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.

Hey, get out of here with your logic and rational thinking.

BTW here's one of my favourite flops ever. It worked so well the opposing player got sent off with a red card in the freakin world cup

Oh and never forget this one. 
Terrific just for the fact that he fell like 5 seconds after the hit and after trying to chase the guy 1st.
FIFA even gave him a suspension after viewing the video.

Selling a foul isn't bad in my books. Call it "soft" or "weak". But it's not like it's a dirty tactic. If there's one thing I hate about the critics it's the hate on so-called "floppers". It's part of the game, live with it. ****. Because honestly, it's funnier listening to people bitch and moan about it than to see someone commit it. Get real people.

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
Then Kobe should be number 1.
This thread is laughable. Flopping has been discussed many times, and the OP is just trying to lash out at Bosh for selling fouls during the playoffs
.
I find it stupid since the Magic have a player who tries to sell fouls too (Turk).

there are a grip of floppers imo that were left off. amare isnt even the most well known flopper on the suns so i think there should at least be an other option.

As a Raptor fan, I am absolutely offended that Bosh was put on this list...
...When clearly, Carlos Delfino is the most prolific flopper in the Eastern Conference! The man is a mad genius when it comes to the art of the flop. I am outraged that no one has even mentioned the main man!
Delfino has flopped more this season than Chris Bosh has flopped in his entire pro/college career!
Obviously, the OP has some axe to grind with Bosh, and is upset that Bosh is taking advantage of Hedo "meathead" Turkeyglue and Dwight "Dim" Howard. Sure, cry "foul" at the reaction, but totally ignore the action.
Those fouls they committed were hilarious, and all Bosh did was shine a bright light on Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. If you want to accuse Bosh of being a flopper than I'm more than justified accusing those two of taking the short bus to school. "Stupid is, is what stupid does."
Carlos is the man. Don't anyone forget it.

possibly the funniset post i read all month. I applaud you my friend. i have nothing against bosh...i just dont like when players flop. I don't really care if the magic don't win this round so it doesn't matter to me. I am just pointing out the obviuos.
