    Maybe LeBron is trying to win an oscar because he clearly isn't winning a ring this year

    why is flopping getting such recognition today?
    can anyone say Bill Laimbeer and Vlade Divac? 2 of the biggest floppers in history. This should have been re-written in the rule book years ago.

    That's on the refs. If the players know that they can get away with it, they will.

    Flopping and preferential calls benefiting stars are the reasons I stop watching the playoffs after the Nuggets get eliminated. If I wasn't such a big basketball-Nuggets fan I wouldn't even bother watching the NBA anymore.

    I think preferential calls is a worse problem then flopping, superstars don't even have to flop anymore to get all the calls.

    That's just two guys. Now-a-days if you watch an NBA game you see about 3 or 4 decent flops a game. Every team in the NBA probably has around 4 or 5 guys that flop.



    LOL what a coincidence, I just changed my signature too haha

    The first bump on Chandler was a legit hit, but the extra flail was over the top.

    The Clippers as a team flop a lot, CP3, Reggie Evans and Blake Griffin at times try to draw fouls. Reggie Evans is the worst of the bunch

    Wouldn't it be nice that if the refs deemed someone "flopping", that a 1 shot foul and side out would occur. That would definitely get the flopping rate down.

    How about the refs making better calls. The issue here isn't the players. It is the officials. They just need to start watching more flopping videos so they don't get duped into making the bad calls. I love watching a defender flop to get a charge only to see the guy w/ the ball score an easy bucket.
