I say Manu wins this.

... And I thought Raja Bell had standards. :nonono:

Still, Manu wins this one. Not jsut this battle, but he won an oscar for that **** brilliant piece of acting. He's mastered the art of flopping through repetition and practice.

aaah - that reminds me WHY I hate Ginobili so much.
Raja's flop was bad (but it was against Ginobili so it was somehow forgiveable),
but Gino's flop was a clear nominee for the "bit*hflop" of the year

At least Raja's was a convincing flop. Haha, Ginobili's flop was so late and poorly performed... I thought they were going to start throwing techs for these things....

Looks like Bell tripped up Ginobli, then Ginobli pushed him off. Of course they both flail their arms as they fall to the ground though :lol:

Doesn't look anything like other "epic flops" I've seen in years past though.

Yeah. Their double flop in the playoffs a few years ago was much more heinous.

**** floppers. It was downright embarrassing when Raja flopped with us.

Yeah the one thing I always remember when playing officiated ball is, if someone's gonna flop you might as well hit em and actually knock him down

I miss Raja...he was the heart and soul of the team even though he was in Phoenix for a short time. Not many players would have had the cajones to do what he did in the 2006 playoffs.

I hate flopping. But this was f****** brilliant.

I have mixed feelings about flopping. I find that floppers are big pussies and are mocking the rough and tough days of the Pistons, Knicks etc--especially when certain players are constantly touted as having massive heart and fire (ie: Manu, Pierce)

But then I see that it works when the refs buy into it and the opposing player's just losing his cool over it. So I gotta give those guys props for being sneaky and potentially embarrassing themselves for the sake of the team (ie: AK47's massive flop vs Dirk)
