Would you flop if you played in the NBA?

Some of us had self respect while playing organized basketball.

You must have spent a lot of time on the bench.

Real men don't need to cheat to win.

Also if you flop I'll just make sure to get my money's worth.

Flopping is not cheating. Real men understand that.

I was an expert at protecting myself against people like you. Kobe was not the first to slap a defender in the eye while shooting.

It absolutely is. I'll respect someone taking cheap shots over a flopper every time.

Did you "self report" to the refs every time you got away with a foul?

What about when the guy guarding you was called for a foul that didn't happen? Did you tell the refs that he didn't foul you?

I'll just wait for the moment when LeBron is sent to the bench with foul #5 on an obvious flop and then see how much these same people defend flopping.

The real shame is that there are a handful of guys who can win without it but choose not to. More disappointing than anything.

Would I flop? Sure, I would. Could easily justify it to. If the best player in the game, the face of the NBA, feels the need to flop, then I damn sure won't make it without it.

No its not. Changing the score is cheating. Cheap shots is cheating. Flopping to emphasize contact on a shot is not.

It's not my job to make calls.

It is more acceptable to punch the opponent in the face than to flop. At least then you're a man still.

Cheater!!

That pretty much tells me you rode the bench. If you have skills you have no need to hurt someone.

I fouled out a lot.

Well I see this thread took off again lol

If you have skills, you also don't need to flop.

I didn't say I did that. I said there's a chance I'll respect you as a human being still if you did that.

If you flop, you're a whiny little bitch. Period.

Yes you do if you want a 3 point play. They only give you 2 for anything inside the arc without a foul.

As you said: "It's not my job to make calls". If a player flops, it's up to the ref to catch it. No different than missing holding or hooking calls.

Your respect would be the last thing I would be looking for. I'm trying to win without injuring someone.
