^ Do you think that it's fuckin' pussy, and bad for the game?

Absolutely.  I think it's one of the things that hurts the NBA very badly.  Fouls are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to subjective anyway.  Refs can decide the outcome of a game.

I doubt a classy coach like Phil Jackson would encourage flopping...Maybe encourage his players to take the charge, but flopping is a whole different thing.

Pretending to get hit and falling down to draw a foul.

your right there is a difference between flopping and taking the charge...however if the call goes your way you dont complain,and i dont see any coach gettin onto a player for flopping.

Son, everybody, everyteam in the league practices the flop. Don't think that LA doesn't either. As deciving as is it, a good flop is not so simple to pull, and refs DO catch it alot, and don't make the call. BTW I didn't see this excuse on Tommy's list ;D

Grandson, if you think every coach teaches his players to flop, you are INSANE.

Flopping = Incapacity to defend most of the time.. if you know you can keep it up physical wise (no homo) with the opponent who back you up, you're not gonna flop

true,but a player with limited defense capabilities will resort to the flop as strategy. the coaches know who can defend and who cant and in turn will "suggest" a flop as a bailout.

I can't believe Phoenix has 3 first rounnd draft picks, including Atlanta's pick.

LMFAO tell me you guys saw Vujacic take one of the lamest flops ever recorded in the game yesterday?  I bet Phil taught him.

Young boy, you stay looking like a fool in these basketball threads.
