Who's today's biggest flopper/diver? 

Post#1 » by The_Hater » Mon Apr 24, 2017 1:05 am

Manu deserves a lifetime achievement award but I think there's a current NBA player who has surpassed him. Just want to see other people's opinions before I write his name.

Take your pick...Smart, Harden, Lou Will, Lowry, Derozan, etc. If I gotta pick one probably Harden.

Flopping and ref baiting are 2 different things, no? If so it's definitely Smart

Waiters screams "And 1" on every single drive to the basket, even when there is nobody within two feet of him.

Agreed. Harden is great at getting to the line. The way he uses his body and locks his arm in with the defender when shooting is actually really technical and I give him props. He has a PHD in drawing fouls. Guys like Smart are terrible... They literally just "Flop"
