Danny White;3378377 said:I wouldn't call what Ginobili does "flopping" so much as he throws his body around with reckless abandon. He's always kind of out of control when he drives the lane, so when he leaves his feet he's at crazy angles and he falls as a result of that, or if he gets a slight amount of contact he falls over because he's already on the verge of falling over to begin with.
He gets some calls because of that, and he uses that to his advantage as he should. But by and large I think the refs have gotten used to his style and he doesn't get many of those calls anymore.
Then again, I'm a Spurs fan so I'm obviously biased, but I don't see it as him faking it... I think the fearless, reckless, out-of-control drives are just his style of play and part of what makes him so much fun to watch.
He's a flopper. No matter how light the contact he acts like Shaq just ran him over.
