All flopping is illegal. It mars the game and makes a mockery of the game and the refs.

I just flopped the other day in a game and got the call, no one could tell the difference. My flop was consistent with the mechanics of the contact, a fat guy bumped me out of bounds under the basket. I knew there was going to be contact from his stomach, so I sold the contact when it came. I didn't lie, I just drew attention to the foul.
Sometimes a foul won't be called because the guy getting fouled can take the hit and not appear fouled, but it's still a foul. What Reggie Evans did is the flopping we're concerned with, with the flopping the NBA is concerned with. It's not the crafty flopping but the ridiculous stuff! You can't just fall like you've been shot for no reason! The Will, check out the Official Home of Will's GameDay Art: http://tinyurl.com/thewillgameday

But if there is contact and you maybe try to draw attention to it a little, because there is so much going on in a game the refs will miss it if you don't point it out, then this is fine, I have no problem with this type of flopping. Maybe, like I said, a huge pink light can go on to also alert the refs to any possible contact. If you have to spend time thinking about how to draw attention to yourself during a basketball game, I pity you. And your game. Hey, what about bringing in some World Cup soccer guys as flopping consultants? Maybe every team in the NBA should go through flop camp? |

I don't know how much thinking is really invovled in it, it happens so fast, like an instinct. If you're legitametly fouled and the only way to get a foul called is to fall to the ground, then that's what you have to do, because otherwise the foul won't be called!! There is honest flopping and dirty flopping. The Will, check out the Official Home of Will's GameDay Art: http://tinyurl.com/thewillgameday

If everyone flopped we wouldn't need refs. Because if you only flop when you've been legitametly fouled, that's like calling your own foul. No one really flops if they have the advantage on the play because they can score an easy one, and you would always rather score than fall. It's like a system for self-regulating in basketball.
