Paul Pierce:Mr. Flop Himself | Bleacher Report

NBA's 10 Biggest Floppers | Bleacher Report

Only #8 on the updated list.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

When NBA fans think about floppers 10 years from now, Pablo Prigioni will be the first to come to mind of course. Dont you guys forget it.

He's a rookie, superfan...


How bout we let the people who watched the game handle this?

The whole point was that I dared point out Prigioni's flopping.

To which, the anally sore group of the lunch table that can't discuss anything that isn't a diss to Boston, proceeded to totally ignore what I was saying about Prigioni and do what they do, which is make everything about Boston.

I even posted a video about it.. and lotsa crickets in response.

You pointed out the foreign guy's flop and followed it up with something similar to "I'm glad I don't have to cheer for a guy like that"...

Which I found to be a hilarious thing to say coming from a fan of Paul Pierce...

i get your point, and it is status quo for the people in here...but

pierce flops

enough to be called out for it, often

my favorite is when he tries to penetrate the lane with 3 defenders there then throws his hands up mid-stride looking fro a foul

a lot of good things are hapening for the knicks this series (as you simmons pointed out, theyre hitting some ridiculous shots)

celtics are entirely overmatched offensively...and it leads to defensive mismatches and blown assignments

Paul Pierce is one of the most expressive players in the NBA. Whether he's yelling as he yanks down a rebound or making this face on a drive to the hoop, Pierce has a way of making it so even the fans in the nosebleeds can feel his pain.

Sometimes, it seems as though Pierce has built ways to embellish contact into the fabric of his game. Here he draws an and-one foul on a jumpshot over Evan Turner (Video). A close-up replay shows Turner isn't even touching him. But from the wide angle view (and the view of the official), thanks to wiggling extremities, it looks like Pierce is taking a punch to the gut as he releases the shot.

Perhaps that herky-jerky style that so flummoxes defenders can have the same effect on the officials.

Twitter also spotted another potential Flop of the Night from Pierce in Game 6, so we might as well show you that one too.

Watch Pierce's legs (Video) go limp during this blocking foul on Lavoy Allen. The bump is there, but it's almost entirely incidental. Still, Pierce's legs buckle like ancient pillars in an catastrophic earthquake.

Also worth noting: Ryan Hollins and Rajon Rondo's smiles as they pick Pierce back up.

Even without the acting, Pierce would likely have gotten this call, so it doesn't win Flop of the Night. But it does merit recognition and the attention of aspiring thespians everywhere.

When you see an egregious flop that deserves proper recognition, send us a link to the video so we can consider it for Flop of the Night. Here's how to make your submission:

Let wait for 10 years to see how much flooping he does.

The whole point of the whole Prigioni thing, the guy who brushes his teeth with mayonaise and gargles with chicken gravy said, "im glad I dont have to cheer for a player like that"
