No it means the NBA trying to avoid looking bad by putting the two superstars they're golden boys in the video. That whole video could be examples of flops from Griffin and Lebron, it's they're that bad. I'm shocked the Chris Bosh flop of Carlos Boozer isn't in there or the Lebron flop then wink on Derek Rose. Those are two of the worst ones I've seen recently.
[QUOTE=andgar923]I don't blame the players as much as I blame the rules and officiating. If they want to eliminate flopping then they should change the rules.
Ane people wanna argue that today's era is better.:no:[/QUOTE]
Same here, it's like do you blame the system itself or the players who are smart enough to take advantage of it? It started as a thing where just a few main guys were consistently repeat offenders. And then when others in the league saw how they were getting away with it time and time again, and sometimes in the games biggest moments they decided to throw it into their gameplan because it works, like 75% of the time.
[QUOTE=Faptastrophe]Alternative link? This f[I]u[/I]cker doesn't want to open.[/QUOTE]
Same here... bad or slow link. Is CP3 & Blake in there?
lebron isn't as bad of a flopper as people say. he embellishes contact but most of the time, he gets hit. his game is built around contact and finishing
his flops w/o contact tho are really bad
I want to see CF86 try to defend this shit. Half of the clips involve clipper players.
The vid and the commentary makes it unintentionally HILARIOUS! :roll:

Why would they be embarrassed? They pride themselves in being known as Flop City
[QUOTE=ashlar]I want to see CF86 try to defend this shit. Half of the clips involve clipper players.[/QUOTE]
What would I defend? I've always said CP3+Evans were two of the top 5 floppers in the NBA last year. It's Griffin who's flopping is GREATLY exaggerated around here which I defend.

I don't think so. Many of Griffin's flops are absolutely disgusting. Almost as bad as the likes of Dwyane Wade.

The level of drama in the flops he's top 5. I defend the frequency of them. People act like the guy flops every game, which is a lie.
That vid was comedy gold. :lol

Are you [I]f[/I][I]u[/I][I]c[/I][I]k[/I][I]i[/I][I]n[/I][I]g[/I] kidding me????
Blake Griffin did not just hit [U]HIS OWN DAMN SELF[/U] in the face, then flop to draw a call. No, no I know he has more integrity than that. I know he does. Right?
[B][SIZE="4"]RIGHT???[/SIZE][/B]
This is why we can't have nice things.
Does anyone else think they took these video clips straight from the Clippers playbook?
:roll: :roll: I can't believe how hilarious some of these are. They ruin the game yeah, but it's really funny seeing these players attempt this ridiculous shit.

You call it funny, I call it nauseating.
But, I must admit, that one clip of Lebron flopping on the drive against the Mavs...that is just so pathetic, I can't help but fall over laughing :roll:
In fact, I think that's the funniest flop I've probably ever seen. That and the Reggie Evans flop against the Grizz last post-season :oldlol:

I have to admit. They are pretty funny. :oldlol:

That Tony Parker flop was probably the worst flop in whole video and is a pure embarrassment to Tony Parker, the San Antonio Spurs, and the game of basketball.[/QUOTE]
flops are trying to create fouls that didn't happen, overreaction isn't flopping. the guy in the video even said that that was a legit foul u fkcing idiot.
Wish I could see this video. Is there an alternate link or youtube video? All I get is a blank page. Also wont open in QuickTime.

I'm same way. If it goes uncalled and is super dramatic it's hilarious. Kind of like CP3's tornado flop AFTER the foul was already called. Didn't hurt the Lakers but was hilarious to watch.

Thanks for the link. The video really put some clarity on what I can expect this season. Should be interesting to see how stern(pun) these guys are going to be on the players, initially.

And Griffin hitting himself in the head and flailing :lol

It was a foul, it was an arm-bar on Perkins. He stuck his arm out and it touched/grazed Parker. Parker's reaction was ridiculous though obviously.
If they were to limit it to only flops when there was no foul at all, it'd be pointless.
And any fan should agree (that ridiculously exaggerated movement has no place in the game).
The only opposing argument u can have to that is if you say you like flopping because it's hilarious.
[QUOTE=maybeshewill13]And Griffin hitting himself in the head and flailing :lol[/QUOTE]
by far Griffins flops have to be the dumbest looking ones i've seen :oldlol:
Mr Hunter does not like...:lol

If the rules and the game is called in such fashion, of course they're gonna take advantage, it'll be almost dumb not too.
Everybody flops!!!
Naturally
Lol. Phukkin clippers
Honestly that video makes the rule seem pretty lenient. You can still sell contact, you just can't do the outrageous CP3 heliflopter stuff.
I hope this makes guys think twice about even selling contact though. Hopefully it will help bring back some toughness into the NBA.

Just gotta love ISH and their ISHiots:applause:
The thing that kills me dead is how they sit there and try to defend the indefensible. A video/gif of Lebron BLATANTLY flopping to them it's "oh...well....you see. He got something in his eye, lost balance and couldn't see his defender, so that's why it looked like he was flopping, but he wasn't." BG hitting himself in the head, and it's "oh....you didn't see his head snap back form that forearm shot he got hit with." Then they have the gall to get mad when people don't take them seriously:roll:

This.
Even though I'm a LeBron homer, I've always said he's the greatest flopper of all time. The dude obviously flops. We all know it. The NBA knows he's the league's face right now. They're not going to use him as an example of something negative.
I guess they used Wade and CP3(+multiple clippers) to have the appearance of not being biased so they can say "hey, we used Heat and clippers players as examples". It's not fooling anyone though. They're not gonna use the face-of-the-franchise players.
way to go nba for not including your love child lebron in any of the videos
[QUOTE=bluechox2]way to go nba for not including your love child lebron in any of the videos[/QUOTE]
This.. blatantly one of the worst offenders..
Clippers are in serious trouble ...
not every topic needs to be lebron. no rational people are out here saying he doesnt flop, but got damn are people really, really trying to say that lebron had a flop worse than gallos? thats just trolling to the nth degree.it is the nba forum tho, so carry on no lifes, carry on.
If anyone has watched any Clippers or James Harden pre-season games, do you notice them playing differently in preparation for the flopping rules in the regular season?

The only Clipper that flopped yesterday at all was Hollins twice.
