Top 4 All-Time Floppers:


1.) Vlade Divac - He is the GOAT of Flopping. He has a lucrative post-NBA career teaching proper flopping techniques to soccer players.


2.) Manu Ginobili - He is in the GOAT conversation, but still not quite at Vlade's level. However, he is still playing, so he could surpass Vlade by the time he retires.


3.) Derek Fisher - He has arguably the best form of all floppers. He gets downgraded a little because he took too many actual charges earlier in his career.


4.) Lebron James - When all is said and done, he could retire as the GOAT of Floppers. He needs to study more tape of Vlade and D-Fish. Some of his flops are still too obvious. He does have the best "shot by a sniper" flop, however.

Completely disagree. Lebron at best can get to #2. Divac changed the game. Ushered in a whole new era. He is the babe ruth of flopping. it doesnt matter how much lebron flops.. how many sniper bullets he catches.. divac changes the landscape of basketball with his flopping.

Another failed attempt, at trying to be funny.

Funny? That is basically copy and pasted from basketball wikipedia.

I seem to remember Laker fans being awfully sensitive about Kobe six years ago.

When someone is regarded as the best player in the game, fans are going to nitpick at every negative thing about him. Its just the way it is. It happened with Kobe, its happening right now with LeBron and its going to happen with the next guy in line.

I love me some CP3, but some of his flops are so ridiculous that they're becoming hilarious.

He's definitely up there as one of the biggest floppers in the NBA.

Big Shot Bob = GOAT

He prefers Rob > Bob

Harden and Ginobili are tied for first.

Dan Patrick asked Larry Bird who the worst flopper when he played. Bird instantly answered Bill Laimbeer. Bird says flopping is getting worse because of the influx of European players. He can understand why David Stern is worried about it.

From 2007:
The greatest floppers of all time

1. Bill Laimbeer
A cornerstone of the famed "Bad Boys" championship teams in Detroit, Laimbeer was vilified around the league for his aggressive play, head games and the trademark "Laimbeer flop." He was the most hated player in the league during his heyday. Legendary Celtics broadcaster Johnny Most dubbed him, simply, "The Flopper."
A sampling of memorable Laimbeer moments:

• Accused by Chris Webber on Nov. 28, 1993 of flopping on a rebound attempt 70 seconds into the game, then sticking his leg out and causing Webber to sprain his ankle and leave the game -- the only scoreless regular-season appearance of Webber's career.

• The Mavericks reportedly once used clips of Laimbeer flops as an instructional tool.

• Accused by Portland's Kevin Duckworth of flopping throughout the 1990 NBA Finals.

• His flopping performances in nearly every playoff matchup against Robert Parish and the Celtics in the mid-to-late 1980s are legendary.

During the 1989 Eastern Conference finals against Chicago, Laimbeer somewhat acknowledged his use of flopping but said he had moved on.

"You can't pin that on me now," Laimbeer told the Washington Post. "You don't hear about me flopping. Now I'm just a dirty player. What happened was, instead of me falling back and trying to draw the foul, I just started hitting people. It's not malicious or dirty, it's just that now there's a collision instead of me falling."

4. Reggie Miller
Miller is unquestionably the greatest offensive flopper in NBA history, and also the most vocal member of this list.

He spent almost as much time lobbying the officials as he did feigning victimization. Miller perfected the art of drawing contact in midair -- sometimes with an extra little kick at the end of a jumper -- and often found his way to the floor despite barely being grazed.

Said former NBA guard Rex Chapman during a 2004 TNT telecast: "Reggie is, without a doubt, now that John Stockton has retired, the best flopper in the game."

Probably for the same reasons Laker fans are sensitive.

Anyone know what this cat's talking about...?

Good point. I stand corrected. Vlade is the unassailable GOAT of the flop.

Look at what I was responding to. From there you should be able to piece it together.

If it's about the NBA, he won't be able to.

if you say so...:rollseyes:

good thing my knowledge(great OR small) isn't up to a pea-brain like YOU to be able to judge...


but DO continue to try...

Something tells me Ray Allen will be back to start next season.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

You didn't know LeBron is the only superstar in nba history to have a role player hit a clutch shot for his team in the playoffs? Don't forget that Horry bailed duncan out also in game 5 of the Detroit series.

Horry bailed more players than Just Tim Duncan and Tony Parker in Texas. Don't forget the first two championships he won in Houston, and then he bailed Shaq and Kobe out as well. It's a team sport and Lebron went to the finals four straight years - That's impressive to me

That shot he hit on the kings was the dagger of all daggers. To this day I still think the Kings were the better team in that series, but a hell of a shot. When he released it he knew it was in too. Started backing up with both his hands posed behind his back

Sacramento Queens fans are still bitter about that to this day

Even as a Lakers fan, I agree that Sacramento was the better team that year. I thought sure the Lakers would lose that series.

I also think the Queens were the better team.

I still get goosebumps when I see that Horry shot, then seeing the ball boy run on the court.
