NBA finalizing flopping procedures

[BTrujillo]

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8433232/nba-finalizing-procedures-penalize-players-flopping

The story does not state what the penalty would be... or if it would be during or post game... I'm assuming it will be post-game fines

either way looks like half the Clipper playbook must be thrown away :roll:

To be fair to Blake, he never hits those FTs anyway.

[Heavincent]

The punishment for blatant flops (like the ones above) should be severe. Like I'm talking suspensions. Flopping just disgusts me.

[BlackVVaves]

****ing finally. The rule should be, you're awarded a post game technical and small fine for each flop. And, after a certain among of flop-induced technicals, the fine is doubled.

When players start missing 1, 2, 3 games without pay due to the rule on suspensions based on exorbitant technicals, the flopping will cease.

In all seriousness, the penalty should be castration.

manu won that flop-off with the leg kick at the end.

[Myth]

NBA said they were going to fine for flopping years ago, and it never happened (they just pretended it never happened). So, I'll believe this will be enforced when I see it.

Well I hope something happens. I'm tired of it. Selling a little contact is okay with me, especially if you're taking a legit charge, but the fake flops where you don't even get hit is ridiculous. I hope the NBA goes through with someone harsh, they said a few years ago they were going to start fining players and I never saw anything materialize from that I thought?

F*ck me I hate this guy.

Bron should be ashamed of these flops, for the best player in the league to flop like that is unacceptable.

Poor Kirilenko....if only this would have been announced before he decided to leave CSKA.

FALSE

The rule SHOULD be that you get suspended for a game every time you flop.

[Euroleague]

[Euroleague]

What rules are in place to stop flopping in Europe?

Well, when you say Europe, it varies.

In like Spanish League for example, they encourage it, just like the NBA has been doing.

Some leagues, like Greek League, never allowed it to happen.

Some leagues, like Euroleague, started to get a real problem with it, not as bad as the NBA now, but still it was getting bad. So they put in a 4 free throws and the ball rule if the refs thought someone flopped.

In short, it's a problem in Spanish League, but not anymore in Euroleague/Eurocup.

Bron is the worst flopper in the league. And he's been my fave player for the last 10 ish years

That flop he did against us when Haywood was guarding him was simply sickening

Floppers should be suspended

This is just a band aid to the problem. These procedures are only to retroactively go back and fine floppers, it does nothing to stop flopping from happening in a game. They should of created a system where refs can review a flop and if they decided a player flopped he would be hit with a T. All this does is appease the fans who think this will change anything.

Only a real idiot like you(rrr3) would believe a bogus poll like that. No real NBA fan, who's watched the NBA in the last 10 years would leave Wade off a list of floppers, after watching not only the '06 Finals, but his career since them. And you sitting there, trying to say Wade isn't a flopper after all that, just makes you look that much more ret**ded. Stop embarrassing yourself:facepalm

Yall are some seriously retarded nyggas. Show me proof of "FLOPPING" from Wade, hell, its footage of the whole 06 finals all on youtube bruh, it should be easy...... Right?

You sound like a fukkin clown, Wade aint flop shyt, just because the ref called a foul on some shit you think was not a foul (regardless if it was or was not) does not make it a flop. Wade is one of the GOATS at finishing and 1's and I have NEVER seen Wade flop on defense, just because you consider a call to be a bad call does not mean Wade attempted to get a call. The nygga attacks the basket with no regard for human life, I have never seen him just throw himself around to get a foul (other than the pump fake jumper move, and thats not a flop, its an attempt to get hit not an attempt to make it look like you got hit).

So I ask you dumb mothafukkas, do yall even know what a flop is, cause if you say Wade is one of the worse and I know for a fact you will not find ANY footage of Wade flopping on defense or offense then you are a dumbass dude.

:facepalm at people who say Wade doesn't flop

[gasolina]

Further, while Wade doesn't flop in the level of Lebron, Manu, Bell level.... nowadays he does something similar where he throws his body in the defender to get a foul.

To me, that's not a basketball play. He doesn't even look to finish his shots like he did when he was younger.

[The Real JW]

LeBron and Griffin are on another level with their flopping

this will surely affect their play

[magictricked]

You're being disingenuous. The question the players were asked is "who is the best flopper" or who's the best at selling fouls via the flop. Not who does it the most, biggest or the most blatant or in your words most egregious.

If this was true surely Paul and or Griffin would be on the list


WHO IS THE BEST FLOPPER IN THE GAME?
Anderson Varejao, Cavs C 22%
Manu Ginobili, Spurs G 18%
Luis Scola, Rockets F 7%
Derek Fisher, Lakers G 6%
Kevin Martin, Rockets G 5%

FAST FACTS

Five of the top 10 vote-getters (and 12 of the 32 named) played professional basketball outside of the U.S. before joining the NBA.!.!.!.

[Clippersfan86]

LeBron and Griffin are on another level with their flopping

Griffin isn't even the biggest flopper on the Clippers, CP3 is. People don't seem to understand that flopping isn't a necessity. In Griffin's rookie year when he barely flopped he was arguably more effective than last year when he added flopping so how does this logic make sense?? Bottom line is competitors will do w/e they can to sell contact and get extra points for their team. This won't take it away but even if it lessens it.. it will affect everybody in the league, not just two guys.

Look at young Lebron for example? Never flopped... still MVP and most dominant player in the NBA. So this is a cop out and just a reason to bash players you don't like or choose to target.

Griffin not even top 10 probably. This is why I say people need to stop being biased little bitches and actually watch basketball more.

[The Real JW]

I think the big names, like LeBron, will obviously get away with it more though.

You can post as many gifs of LeBron flopping as you want. He doesn't rely on flopping to be good. He'll be a dominant MVP with or without flopping. You act like he blatantly does it in every game.

Griffin had a better season when he wasn't flopping. Same thing can be said there but of course you'll somehow worm out of that one. You think CP3 a guy who has potential to go down as a top 3 PG all time NEEDS flopping to be effective? Comon people wake up. If you're a great player, you're great. If anything this will affect the non stars like Scola and Varejao a lot more who almost depend on this kind of play to be very effective.

Or maybe they are just extremely smart and competitive. Willing to do ANYTHING it takes to attempt to gain an advantage. If all of the top stars in the NBA flop (they do) they would be at a disadvantage to at least not try to get a couple extra calls. Kobe with his Jamal Crawford kick move on the shot that gives him an extra 2-3 free throws a game at least?

I don't deny that the players flop. I'm just saying they don't rely on it every game to win. They are good players with or without flopping. You take away flopping, and LeBron is still the #1 player in the NBA.

I promise I'm not saying this as a Clippers fan but it doesn't annoy me UNLESS a team is getting a bunch of calls for those flops. If it's not called I actually find it entertaining and hilarious. Comon you can't tell me you don't find this funny if it's not affecting your team with a call....

Hands down. Just like Griffin is still an all star, CP3 still a top 5 player, Kobe still the best scorer of this era (if you take away his kick move). Flopping may be essential for scrub role players like Rudy Fernandez or for a solid starter like Anderson Varejao but they are NOT vital to the game of a great player, period.

I think it's more along the lines of pathetic. But it's a little more acceptable from Chris Paul, because of his lack of size. But guys like Lebron and Blake Griffin, who are bigger than 90% of the players in the league, it's just sad.

It's not pathetic when you really look at WHY they do it. Griffin+Lebron alone account for 40+ percent of the flagrant fouls received the last two seasons. Griffin has taken about 20, Lebron 16. Due to their size and strength officials let a lot of shit go. So I honestly think they flop to compensate for that a bit. I can't tell you how many hundreds of times I've seen Griffin and Lebron get pummeled in the paint but since they finish the bucket, refs don't call the clear And 1.

Yeah but it's not fair because they already have an advantage because of their size and strength. I didn't want to use the word "fair" because I know it's do anything to win. I don't have a huge problem with flopping, but when there is little or no contact it just looks stupid.

And the part not getting the And 1 is bull. Those two player get to the line more than just about anyone else in the league, and that isn't because of flopping.

[Clippersfan86]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSfX6jvhpyg

Ref was looking in Griffin's direction when this happened and did nothing. Exactly what I'm talking about Buffalo. I'd start trying some flops too if refs let people maul me like this.

[tmacattack33]

I hope you guys don't really get your hopes up for this.

I mean they already tried doing this a few years ago (they said they were going to start fining players for flopping), but nothing actually happened.

Trust me... for as much as they get to the line they should realistically have 4 more free throw attempts a game, especially Griffin who lives in the paint. Lebron has become more of a perimeter oriented player so I won't complain much there but all Griffin does is bang in the paint and he got 2+ less free throw attempts a game this year DESPITE adding flopping to his game.

Bottom line is these guys get mauled like hell and many times it's not called because of their strength... refs don't think contact affects their shot.

[TexasBloodMoney]

Paul, Griffin, Harden, the Gasol brothers, Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Kobe, Fisher, R. Fernandez...(too many to count)

Should all jump off a plane and die. I hate flopping.

Lebron has become more of a perimeter oriented player so I won't complain much there but all Griffin does is bang in the paint and he got 2+ less free throw attempts a game this year DESPITE adding flopping to his game.

Bottom line is these guys get mauled like hell and many times it's not called because of their strength... refs don't think contact affects their shot.


You can't get the foul every time though. That's the thing. If they called a foul on Lebron every time he drives to the basket, he would be even more unstoppable than he already is.

[SpecialQue]

It's not pathetic when you really look at WHY they do it. Griffin+Lebron alone account for 40+ percent of the flagrant fouls received the last two seasons. Griffin has taken about 20, Lebron 16. Due to their size and strength officials let a lot of shit go. So I honestly think they flop to compensate for that a bit. I can't tell you how many hundreds of times I've seen Griffin and Lebron get pummeled in the paint but since they finish the bucket, refs don't call the clear And 1.

[Clippersfan86]

Paul, Griffin, Harden, the Gasol brothers, Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Kobe, Fisher, R. Fernandez...(too many to count)

Should all jump off a plane and die.

You first.

Ref was looking in Griffin's direction when this happened and did nothing. Exactly what I'm talking about Buffalo. I'd start trying some flops too if refs let people maul me like this.

The officiating let so much go with the Grizzlies just to give them a chance against the Clippers. It was disgusting how the refs were allowing Memphis to hit, push, and punch (not basketball). Griffin gets murdered in the paint, just like Lebron and other bigs that play inside. I remember Griffin in his rookie year got a busted lip by the Spurs. He quickly learned that he had to sell the fouls..just like all of the other NBA players. With these new rules many of these players can just make the adjustments, but I can imagine it's such a habit for many of them that it will take a while to stop it. Certain guys may just have to go to the euroleague...ginobli, gasol, etc.

:facepalm at people who say Wade doesn't flop
Complaining about the lack of a call (that pic was ridiculous, D Wade was on some bullshyt lol) is not flopping you fukking idiot. How the fukk is someone gone flop while the game is over :facepalm. Are you fukking serious bro?????

Like I said before, FIND ME ONE PIECE OF FOOTAGE SHOWING WADE FLOPPING, JUST ONE. If dude is one of the worse in the league why the fukk did you post a pic of something that happend after the whistle and had nothing to do with the actual play. Fukk outta here nygga.

[MavsSuperFan]

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I am entertained by flopping. You got to admit it's hilarious, especially if JVG is calling the game.

They're either the biggest floppers in the league or the biggest pu**ies for getting slammed to the ground every time someone barely touches them. Which is it?

Sorry I don't think flopping shows the "competitive" nature of players. Kinda ruins the game actually.

I fully expect you to either 1) not bother to respond cuz you made yourself look stupid(the best option), 2) respond with some pathetic attempt at an explanation other than a CLEAR flop, further embarrassing yourself, or 3) with some MEANINGLESS rant, to try and cover up the fact that you made yourself look stupid.

[Clippersfan86]

Bruce Lee once said he would do ANYTHING to win a fight. Bite somebody, throw dirt at them... anything. The competitiveness is what drives them to be willing to do ANYTHING to give them an edge. Flopping doesn't work usually but when it does it's free throws or a foul on the other team which can pay off. Or did you just think they did it for fun?

[Bourne]

It's basketball, where competitive spirit and honour and important, not a fight where you risk bodily harm if you lose.

Seriously why aren't you banned

[nightprowler10]

Griffin not even top 10 probably. This is why I say people need to stop being biased little bitches and actually watch basketball more.
The problem is that he is VERY obvious with his flopping, which is frustrating as hell to watch. It's easier to give players the benefit of the doubt if you're at least good at flopping a la Manu.

[LakersReign]

Major flop by D-whistle:lol

"detroitdogg" is yet another bandwagon Lebron fan aka Lebronyte gimmick account. That's why he's going to try and sit there and tell people Wade isn't a HABITUAL flopper. But you can't blame them, cuz back in '06, they were still on the Cavs bandwagon. There weren't Heat fans yet, so they're clueless as to Wade's flopping history:lol

How about none of those choices fool. Good shyt...... That was a flop, but for nyggas to sit here and act as if Wade is a constant flopper on either end is ridiculous bruh. I mean, him and Lebron has led the league every year for and1's for perimeter players, nyggas are acting as if dude is on some Varejao of offense type of shyt. A flop is that of what you just showed, him pumpfaking and drawing contact from a defender is not a flopin any way possible. Add to that the fact that nyggas act as if Wade does that in the paint without trying to finish then you have a reason why I went hard. Now get the fukk on my nygga.

...and I did that. Now you're like "oh...well...yeah....buh....buh...buh....buh....he doesn't flop all the time.":roll:

You CLEARLY aren't a real Heat fan, cuz if you were, you'd never have said that.:rolleyes:

This is going to create a serious problem in Paul's and Blake's games. Paul will figure it out but Griffin, acting is a huge part of his game.

Nygga,im 25 and been a Heat fan since Tim and Alonzo days boy, fukk outta here. Wade has been my top nygga since 03-04 since he rocked BD and hit a game winner as a rookie.I was watching since the triple double in the Final 4 and the ridiculous highlights thru his rookie year. The GW was the icing on the cake. Vince soon fell off my fav and Wade took that on the stregnth of entertainment you bytch ass nygga. How the fukk you gone sit here and tell other mothafukkas about a nygga you dont know and never seen in your life. I'd rock yo shyt in real life bro, fukk outta here.

So I said "find me one piece" and then what?????????? What was suppose to be the result of you finding this shyt bruh. You stated a point tht he has flopped before in his NBA career as anybody with a brain already knew. You found 1 piece of footage in a thread where nyggas are saying he is one of the worse in the league at it. I have literally seen 90% of the games Wade has played in his career, dude does not play thee game to flop bruh, not even close.

You cant be fukkin serious bro. In 2012 the lack of basic understanding is at an all time high. So, cause the ref called a foul its a flop?????? He CLEARLY lost balance and fell, do you actually think that was his intention, when its a fukkin spin move that missed the expected contact (his back touching LA's defensive stance). Off a 2nd look, he was already falling when the spin begun. There was no extra body movement to make the ref think anything. Damn, dude, how fukkin retarded are you dudes.

I dont give a shyt about you bruh, you are too retarded to even make sense in a conversation. Fukk outta here boy.

Of course the b.s explanation. Big surprise:rolleyes:
Naw, the fact that you are trying to argue about a word that you dont even know the definition of is puzzling. I thought only lil kids did shyt like that.

Log into your real account, then MAYBE I'll take you seriously:sleeping

So...a debate to you is...asking for proof of something....getting it....proceeding to get mad cuz you got what you asked for.....realize you made yourself look stupid....so....then you start to backpeddle? You're only dippin' out like a b***h now, cuz you can already see your crap ain working, and you're trying to save face, so just stop

Bro....... You are talking about real accounts (whatever the fukk that is), talking bout me being a Bron stan when I been pro Wade for years, and yo lame ass talking bout some "like you know so much about me.... Right"......... Fukk naw nygga, how the fukk do you even develop the assumption that im trying to know something about you or ever gave a fukk if the only thing I ever said to you personally was the fact that you are naturally a bytch ass nygga. I mean, I like really, really, really could care less about anything in this thread but the topic about flopping. So I ask you, "how the fukk do you know anything about me". I would not even hold a conversation with a bytch ass nygga, how the fukk can you assume who my fav player is and if im using a "fake account", how the fukk can you make a fake account? I dont understand????
