Kobe: "Shameless flopping is just a chump move."

[BEAST Griffin]

Says the king of flailing your arms and verbal flops.

Another shameless flopping chump

Says the guy who flails his arms and screams "hey" every time he gets stripped or gets his shot blocked. This guy just doesn't know when to STFU.

Also, it's about damn time the NBA did something about all this flopping crap. Teams like the Lakers, Heat, and Clippers are going to have change their entire game plans. Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Kobe, Gasol, Artest, CP3, and Blake are all among the biggest offenders in the league. P*ssy ball. Some of those gifs/pics above are priceless. One of my favorites is Wade falling down and grabbing his eye while b*tching to the refs.

I'd also like to see them clean up the whole "throw my body into a stationary defender and get a foul" BS. That constitutes as flopping no?

Ive only seen Artest flop one time and that's when Rondo shoved him, I can't think of another time and I bet you can't find 5 vids where he does flop

Today's era = golden era of flopping.

Kobe keeping it real . It's funny that a lot of these haters agree with what he's saying, but because it's Kobe they go on some other tangent

They can't come up with nothing that compares or comes even close to this shameless flops that have been posted

Artest is a flopper now?

Throwing your hands up and screaming "hey," something players have been doing since the 70s, is different than doing a Chris Paul cartwheel, a Varejou back spin, a Reggie Evans collapse to the ground. Those type of stunts are shameless because they do more than sought out attention from the refs, they mock the integrity of the actual game. There's no reason or place for Broadway type performances on the court.

Did you actually read people's posts? This sounds like a response to something completely different.

Kobe really doesn't flop too much. He whines for calls but you don't really see any blatant flops from him.

He does flop, but its not the type of flop you're used to seeing with most of these other players in the league today. Its a "I just got stripped in mid air, fling my hands and scream AEYY!. Then pray for a ref to call a foul" type flop. Not retardedly whiplash your head back when guarding Boozer or run back down the court and throw your body all sideways like you got hit by a train with nobody within 3 feet of you (Robert Horry, also against Boozer)

[Asukal]

Kobe didn't say he doesn't flop. He said "shameless flopping", probably referring to the heat's big 3 flopping without contact.

I'm glad flopping is going to be reduced, the league is on the right track.

Exactly.

Kobe is definitely not a flopper. Have never seen him do anything like some of the gifs posted in this thread.
