Cheaters See The Value in Flopping

[Shanemansj13]

Dude ...we're talking about flopping in the NBA......dont be making this a real life intervention blog

Basketball is real life, it isn't fairy tale bs.

If you think flopping is cheating, you are a hypocrite and I guess you never watched soccer<---100 times worse!

better question, who with an ounce of brains is buying...?

And the number of times he was fined/warned this year is = to your IQ.

And flopping didn't start becoming an accepted practice until the Euros started coming into the league.

Bringing their soccer mentality with them.

So basically the premise to your entire thread is nonsense and just another kindergarten attempt to rip James.

Its a ramdon sports article turnip ,not my personal paper or blog or magazine.
WOuld you like a link to the article and see if any other player other than LeBum gets mentioned?go ahead..ask me.


Now its my fault writers across America hate LeBum too.?

 

[Jims_Doors]

If both an average player (2 fouls) and superstar (5 fouls) try to stop a driving player to the basket and the whistle blows for a foul, doesn't the average player always raise his hand to try to make sure the call is on him, to keep from superstar from fouling out?

Wouldn't that be considered cheating...trying to deceive the ref?

Well, he must have been fined and warned at least 107 times this year. Thanks for clearing that up.

This is pathetic. No cheating in sports unless you take PED's. Anything goes, the OP sounds like a vagina.

He reminds me of Rasheed Wallace.

aw, c'mon, Shane. it goes back to one of Jim Rome's classic quotes(which i believe he stole from somebody else). "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'..."

Jim Rome is too much of an idiot douchebag to think of something like that on his own.

It is called a competitive advantage!

Now I am not saying I like it, but facts are facts.

I like this!

Congressional hearing on flopping.

John Stockton's not here to talk about the past. Ginobli and Vlade and the rest of the Europeans forget how to speak English. Someone leaks LeBron's testimony and all hell breaks loose.

Not to mention the politicians who can't pronounce Chris Bosh's name correctly, refer to the NBA Finals as the Final Four and still think the Lakers play in Minneapolis.

Aww, fuck it.

Let 'em flop.

The 'flops' are gaining momentum in the NBA and it has become epidemic.

There is the all so familiar 'flop to get the charge call'.

And more recent 'vocal flop' and that is the 'yell out load' when you're in the paint on offense and get either some minor contact or an appearance of contact I guess sometimes there is really a foul here and the player is worried the refs might miss it.

Then there is the 'fall down on the jump shot' by the offensive player on the minor contact or an appearance of contact.

Of course the 'acting of pure and total injury on a hard foul type flop' that is an effort to get either a flag 1 or flag 2 call or even just a technical. Funny how these dudes always seem to tough it out and return to the game, usually to score out of their minds because they now have beat their true match-up in the game by getting their opponent tossed.

And then the most recent of flops is the 'jumping forward on a rebound' (I hate this one because it's so obvious) when someone is behind you and their is minor contact or an appearance of contact and you have not shot at the rebound, just act like you got pushed and you can get the random call no and then, what a racket.

Of course the most irritating of all is the 'fake contact flop' eg when the opposition swings the elbows and the defender flops on the fake contact. We've seen this a few times, I think it was Bosh who did this once so well. Can someone post the video of that? Those calls are the hardest to take, because there is no foul at all just the fooling of the refs involved, no 50/50 call to make a decision like horns stated just a pure acting job.

I'm sure I missed a few, if you guys want to add to my list feel free.

Makes me wonder at times what is more legit the NBA or the Pro-Wrestling whatever that's called.

It is getting worse and needs to be eliminated or the sport is in great danger of losing it's legitimacy, bottom line.
