kind of insane. how would tony parker have to pay $5000 for getting fouled when they are admitting in that video he got fouled? who gives a fck if you embellish real contact as long it is real contact.
They should have showed the Bosh one or one of LeBrons classic flails after no contact:lol :lol
Not sure how theyre going to review it? After the game then fine said player? Does each instance get put on report or does someone review every game???
I think its a positive move though, watching the Clippers pull that shit every game last season was disgraceful.. Miami werent much better either..
Hard to believe it ever got to this point. The elite players should be ashamed of themselves for resorting to this.
Right. Very expected...
I can see what's going on there, you can exaggerate contact and move in a way you are pushed, fall in a direction you were hit if you don't add to it (flailing arms, head etc.). You can act a glass doll if you want to, but don't add to it...
Alternative link? This f[I]u[/I]cker doesn't want to open.
I can see it already.. I really am happy they've done something to address flopping, but there's going to be a lot of **** storms throughout the season of people getting fined who claim that the rules aren't clear/specific.
I like it.
[QUOTE=Faptastrophe]Alternative link? This f[I]u[/I]cker doesn't want to open.[/QUOTE]
just open it with a video player... or save target as might work
If the Refs actually called it the way it's supposed to be called, then none of this would have gotten to this point....
Chicken or the egg....? :hammertime:

They used to, but its extremely hard to ref a game and a lot of them are so used to no flopping or low quality flopping so when players flop good they will blow their whistle.
We will provably see more skilled flopping in the future.I guess I would rather watch a great actor then a bad flopper

It will be fun.
But I am more interested in if superstars will get away with flopping. Like (FOR EXAMPLE, NOTHING SERIOUS) a blatent and obvious Lebron flop going unpunished/ignored.
Its gonna be a fun 82 game season.
So much clipper red in that video. Even a few that they said would not be fined even though it was an attempt to draw attention.
Josh Smith and Reggie Evans should be ashamed.
:roll: @ that Chris Paul flop.

Chris Paul runs into a guy from the back and ends up flying back! :roll:
S**t just makes me sick.
Link doesn't work for me. Goes to WMP and says unexpected error as occurred.
Gallo's flop:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
LMAO at Wade. F'ing pansy. :oldlol:
Lakers gonna be in trouble.

Not a flop according to these rules and would not be fined.

Yeah, Gasol will hemorrhage some cash. It's the European in him that causes him to flop.
[QUOTE=ispin69][url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR-l7MYNask[/url][/QUOTE]
Bad quality video. Maybe.

Not a flop according to these rules and would not be fined. Continuation of momentum.
The video is hilarious but the rule is stupid. I wish they would do it like soccer and if the player gets caught flopping in-game they get a technical for it.

I think the NBA will end up tweaking the policy to hand out technicals because while the fine will curtail some flopping it does seem like a money grab at the same time. Doing it in game is next to impossible unless the refs can be allowed to go back and review the video which would make games unbelievably boring to watch unless maybe they did it at half time or between quarters.
Clipper players gonna be in trouble, better find that second job for extra cash.

His "tornado flops" are just hilarious. I honestly don't know how the refs buy that crap
It doesn't mean that the refs would catch every single flop. Just like this whole video review after the fact thing isn't gonna dish out a fine for every flop either. I just think that if a player knows they are at risk of getting a technical in-game for an outrageous flop they will be less likely to flop than knowing they could still potentially be rewarded for the in-game flop in a pivotal playoff game for example and get a miniscule fine for it later.
I love when the players do a ridiculous flop and the refs don't call it and the players looks like a complete ass.

Now imagine that exact same scenario with them actually getting a foul or a tech called AGAINST them on top of that. And them showing it on the replay and everything. That would be the ultimate embarrassment right there.:oldlol:
It must be embarrassing that so many Clippers plays are involved. Really, [B]any[/B] player should be embarrassed to find himself as an example of flopping.
So many flops against the Grizzlies:rant
I hate it so much.
[QUOTE=longtime lurker]No Lebron or Blake Griffin=fail[/QUOTE]
Goes to show that the claims against them are greatly exaggerated by fans like I've said all along.
[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]Goes to show that the claims against them are greatly exaggerated by fans like I've said all along.[/QUOTE]
Not true at all but if they showed both stars doing it from 2 huge teams, they'd get crucified from the teams fans for being "biased" even though they aren't.
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:

:biggums:
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.
Correction: The Chris Paul flop in the video was probably the worst one. I don't even see how the commentator talked about it without laughing.
galinari's was pretty bad because he chose to stay on the ground at the cost of actual gameplay
Opening with a Reggie Evans flop :roll:
That Chris Paul flop is hilarious.
