Nene must have some stinky armpits. Someone get him some deodorant.

[Budadiiii]

To early to call him an all time great flopper but hes certainly off to a promising start, his acting abilities really shine in his KIA commercials as well....

the guys a huge talent and a ton of fun to watch ...


:applause:

[eriX]

its funny coz nene timed it beautiful stopped just with a decent size gap between his arm and griffins face :applause:

[KungFuJoe]

Where da **** are people learning this shit? Are they teaching it in basketball camp these days. Back when I was playing, flopping didn't even exist.

Effing vlade.

I say we dig him up out of his grave, smack him around a bit, then bury him again.

flopping is the seriously the only reason I don't like the clipps even though they have the real jsmoove and gawdsoe on the team

[DMV2]

New flop rule is working as intended. Fines and warning only reserved for no names players.

[andremiller07]

The only time I don't mind when players flop is when someone is driving at them at a fairly high pace and they fall slightly before to lessen the damage/contact they can take, kinda of like rolling with a punch in boxing,.But this is a bit to much had Nene hit him fine hes allowed to move back but not when theres clear daylight between them.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Why aren't guns allowed in the NBA? Cause blake griffin would shoot himself. seriously this guy shapes his game after no basketball player but:http://imageshack.us/a/img855/7293/routine1.jpg

did Nene get called for the foul there?

[atljonesbro]

This flop officially puts him ahead of vlade divac. Holy crap he's closing in on manu so fast at such a young age.

[Mr. Jabbar]

did Nene get called for the foul there?

YES

[chazzy]

did Nene get called for the foul there?
Foul on Nene and then a technical on the Wizard's bench

[therammingman]

i showed this clip to my friend, a long time clipper fan....here was his email response:

Obviously it was not a foul and he exaggerated but it does annoy me that people make a big deal out of these plays where players flail back from an elbow. If he would not have moved, he would have been hit in the face by the elbow. It is an instinctive reaction to move your head. Every single human in that situation would have cocked their head back. If Harden would have avoided Artest's elbow, would it have been a flop? If Griffin was such a horrendous flopper, shouldn't he have at least been called for one flop? The NBA can review any play they want and he hasn't been called for a flop all year. Ironic that people exaggerate so much about accusing a player of exaggerating. So go ahead and root for Artest to play dirty and hit somebody who plays hard. I will take the side of the player who exaggerates a reaction to a player who intentionally tries to injure someone who is kicking his ass and must resort to violence to stop him.

Rofl dude's delusional. He clearly moved his head back in instinct (like any normal person would), but then throws his head back further in a second motion to exaggerate it.

Well, you thought wrong. The Academy Awards are February 24th.....

[Killbot]

All he needs now in his career is a double flop from him and someone. He has to time it perfectly so that the other player gets the call.

He certainly has made the Top 10 flopper all-time especially with that spinning helicopter up the air flop this season. :bowdown:

[yobore]

Honestly that's not that bad of a flop for Griffin, I was expecting something worse with the comments and his history. That's basically a flinch and I think most people would react the same way with an elbow coming at them. Flop would be if he held his nose and pretended to get hit.

[Phenith]

I agree, he embelished it for sure, but when you have an elbow coming towards your face it seems like an obvious reaction to pull back and turn to avoid the hit or at least take it on the side of the head instead of right in the face.

How is swinging to ball to the other side not basketball? He was trying to get a better angle because Griffin cut off his left side. Most bigs do the same thing Nene just did.

it still is an elbow close to someone's face, and that someone tried to get out of the way, but for some odd reason that is "flopping"


:coleman:

[Ikill]

At first he was just reacting to a elbow coming at him like most would he kind of flopped at the end when he swung his back. Overall its not the worst thing ever i don't know why you guys are crying about this. Also he's not even flopping that much this year only second one this year i think.

anyone defending this is an idiot. you can't crowd a guy like that and not expect to get elbowed eventually. There is a difference between playing tight D and invading an offensive players space.

[gilalizard]

Gotta say, the more I watch the Blake gif it seems more like he overreacted to thinking he was going to get elbowed, than an intentional flop.

Floppers usually fall to the floor clutching their "injury". Blake seems to try to stay in the play.

Not saying he hasn't flopped in the past. This just doesn't seem as much like one.

Damn, that guy grabbed his arm when he was going up. And I bet it was not called a flagrant. Griffin is constantly getting fouled, I would be pissed off too.
