[Clutch]

Great gif

[blacknapalm]

:roll: i remember watching this. gotta love ginobil's kick at the end, as if he's trying to out-flop bell. nay says manu, i am numero uno flopper!

[12shyloc26]

LMFAO. Repped.

Best thread I've seen in awhile, can't top the Yi Jian Li one tho.

If Raja would have waited another second to flop it might have looked like Manu's off arm hit him:lol

[JustinJDW]

Haha, so basketball has come to this. Can you imagine two players doing that shit 20-30 years ago? :oldlol:

[PassTheRock]

lol nice one. :lol what did the call end up being? (if there was one)

[bluechox2]

if someone can animate that now with some blue and red force in epic collison battle
and put 2 lightsabers in each guys hands. wud be funny

[OldSchoolBBall]

That's hysterical. :oldlol:

[PurpleChuck]

:roll:

[Go Getter]

Ginobili traveled too, lol...

[DGARAS]

that could have been nasty. the way his foot sort of got stuck on the ground he could have torn his ligaments. the kick isn't on purpose.


Ginobili traveled too, lol...

no he didn't, lol...

[Batz]

:bowdown:

[Brunch@Five]

this is sad

[PowerGlove]

At least Raja's flop was legit, Ginobili just fell over afterwards for whatever reason.

raja flopped first, then ginobli felt offended and tried to out flop him :lol

[NoName22]

There are legit flops now ?

[PowerGlove]

There are legit flops now ?
Raja did an ordinary flop while Gino just couldnt help himself to join in. If you looked at that live, Raja's flop would have looked way more natural than Gino's.

[kkling]

Ginobili clearly did not want to be out flopped. I hate everyone that flops, pieces of shits. lol

Here's the YouTube version from several angles (gifs not working on my computer right now): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNxiWES8G0o

That Gino leg kick reminded me of that soccer coach headbutt flop for some reason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0yX_1O3sRY

[bluechox2]

blocking foul

[tommy3]

Manu should have rolled on the floor a few times so that we could call it the goat flop

[Derka]

That...is amazing. Repped, good sir.

[Matty2Cool]

lol, theres tons of acting in basketball, this was just a dynamic display of master acting

[DaBigReality]

To be fair to Ginoblli, he fell down because his right foot went on top of Raja's left foot and slipped causing him to fall.

[Batz]

They both fell because of that. Raja throwing his arms up and Ginobili slide and kick weren't really necessary though. :oldlol:

Since Stern killed the senate and took control of the Empire.

[crisoner]

LOL

OK...Raja's flop looks real...but Manu....the law of physics on that one really do not make any sense at all. Kind of like the magic bullet....this is the magic flop.

[Rake2204]

It finally happened.

yep, raja was "selling" the contact like any player does.. manu i don't know wtf he was thinking

[bagelred]

You guys are so stupid. It's obvious an invisible third player crashed into both of them. It's the only logical explanation.


Idiots!!!!

[PurpleChuck]

:lol @ Manu trying to 1up Raja's flop.

Vlade will be proud!

[tpols]

You mean, inb4SinJackal?
lol I would LOVE to see sinjacky come in here with another classic explanation of why it wasn't manu's fault:oldlol:

If you look closely, you will see raja bell's shoe lace become untangled as he flops, causing manu to slip and lose balance, thus forcing his leg to swing wildly in the air..

[Pointguard]

romantic break dancing?

[Mr. Jabbar]

Manu is REALLY disgusting. Hands down #1 Flopper in the league.

[Darkess]

I think this is the opposite of the "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" paradox.

There must have been magnets involved somwehere.

[bdreason]

So sad. Both guys should be fined, heavily.

Do not fool yourselves, the ability to jump in the air and flail your legs in pain without any contact is insignificant compared with the power of the force.

The Lakers will put an end to this San Antonio uprising and show them the true nature of the force.

:lol :roll: :lol

Haha, yes! Vader is back!!!

[SCdac]

the matchup between these two was actually pretty 'intense'. You'd think stuff like this hints at fake-ness, non-competitiveness, and stuff like that, but they guarded each other pretty tightly and it made for good basketball. Bell was getting close to being on tilt (nothing new, even against other players). Both players got right up. Shit happens. I think it's funny more than saddening. The game is still physical enough, but surely flops/acting/over exaggeration is going to happen in sports like this.... flopping is not something Manu Ginobili created... go back and watch Vlade, watch some Robert Horry, etc.

That flop is The Event or Fringe material right there.


Flopquake ? :rolleyes:

[bagelred]

This answers the age old question......

"What happens when a resistible force meets a movable object?"

[KGMN]

What was the actual call on that play? Foul on Manu, Raja, neither, or both?

[Droid101]

Foul on Raja was called. I couldn't believe it personally.

Should have been a no-call or a double technical in my opinion.

If I was a ref and saw that, I'd throw them both out of the game immediately.

mm... not surprised. refs are horrible.

[Darth Vader]

Even the simplest of mind tricks will work on these refs, Stern is unwise to surround himself with such weak minded fools.

[Darth Vader]

I'll choke both of them for the flop.

[krazymofo]

God dammit man lol i haven't LOL'D this hard in a while, gonna try to rep all those who gave me a good laugh in this thread

[gts]

i wonder if refs get together watch this crap and laugh at each other...lol

Funny how the ref was standing right in front of them :lol

[Phong]

Raja's flop looks like a normal flop. Manu's looks like he was trying to do a bicycle kick. :facepalm

Really? Block on Raja?

I would have called a charge on Manu b/c of the way he lowered his shoulder.

Yep, that's what they called. The ref even stood there staring for a few seconds after blowing the whistle, then put his hands on his hips to indicate "block."

[Harison]

Its ridiculous, what happened with fining the floppers rule? :facepalm

[zac]

They said during the broadcast that they ended up calling a double foul on both of them. I thought that was an appropriate call.

[csklmf]

LMAO. Finally, the two greatest flopping expert play against each other. This is just art.

[El Kabong]

I guess that's what happens when a movable object meets a resistible force.

I don't care much for Raja, I wish the Jazz never signed him.
