They both played like babies the first 3 game imo. I posted the comment that they need to both stop pretending to be hurt every play and to just start playing.

But Delly is a mad flopper on the other side.

The move that really irks me too is when a player is running off a screen and gets bumped a little and throws his head back but keeps moving. Teague does this a lot. Kyrie is guilty too

From reading this thread and from my personal viewing:
Top 3 in no order are Marcus Smart, Chris Paul, James Harden
Honorable mentions to Lebron James, Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan

Floppers of yesteryear included more Spurs.

Wade and Lowry should be on the list

Harden. My recent favorite is the head snap reaction when Curry fouled his beard during the final reg season game. His flopping reflexive instincts are lightning quick.

Why Curry just had to touch the beard, is another puzzle. I think it may have hypnotized him.

Wade, Chris Fall, Paul Pierce, Lowry, Pau Gasol, LeBron (gotten better), Draymond Green

I don't think I can put Harden in the same category as Smart and Paul. He has more volume than anyone else, but those guys are more explosive floppers. Marcus Smart especially has had some very athletic flops that you don't see from Harden. Paul not quite as explosive, but he commits to the flop better than else. He's the most well rounded flopper in the game.

As a raps fan watching numerous games I can honestly say Lowry yes. DeRozan on the other hand trys to draw fouls with contact, but he play through it. That's not a flop. Pump fakes to get a defender in the air is not flopping. Driving into the defender is not flopping. In fact, I would argue that it's pretty hard to flop on offense. Selling a call I understand the complaints, but flopping is usually what you call the defender that falls on his ass for a slight push off.

I don't even think Derozan knows how to flop. He's pretty good at drawing fouls though.

In lowrys defence he was actually hurt last game, but derozan...MAN! Often lies in the ground like he's either seriously hurt or got shot in the leg. Forces his teammates to take a foul to stop the play and forces casey to burn a timeout, only for derozan to stand up 5 seconds later and walk back to the bench. Apparent get up and hustle back on d was not a part of his bball knowledge

I consider offensive moves to fall under the flopping umbrella as well.

Therefore for me it's Harden pretty easily here.

I don't think IT does too much here....refs just reward him for falling down

Marcus Smart & CP3 are really in a league of their own. Not every one has the body control to fake getting shot by a sniper with the Matrix spin around and all that.
