next time you are walking in a semi crowded area, and someone accidently nudges you...throw your body into a helicopter spin and then fall down......then when everyone stares you down, laughs, or says anything....just get up and loudly say, "I'm ok, just had a Chris Paul moment"

i haven't seen enough of paul yet. they just started getting national televised games this year cause they got good. vlade was def. bad with it. but i saw manu flop up by 20 against the suns in game 3 or 4 with 4 seconds left. that just solidifies he's #1 to me. I really hate that part of the game as a whole. it's getting old ya know?MC KAos;2078020 said:

i agree, they need to do something about it. i dont think they can make it a foul because it would put WAY too much control on the refs, its not like they dont already have a gross amount of say in the outcome already. i think the best thing to do is have them not call a flop if they think its one, and then the league reviews it. If they find it was a flop, they give them a massive fine and a technical (after 15 technicals its a suspension i think, plus the fine that comes with technicals).

i think bill land said it best during game 3. It comes from european style basketball, which is influenced by the flopping in soccer. Now with all the players in the league coming over from euro leagues it has kinda become contagious and everyone seems to be doing it. the thing is that at least in soccer you can get a yellow card for flopping and the refs get fined for calling a foul on a flop.
My problem with CP3 in particular is that he is SUPER ridiculous with his flopping, complains about EVERYTHING, points at people on every play and he doesnt need to be doing that. my best analogy is that we all know players complain to the officials, but its so sad to see a great player complain AND flop. imagine kobe, tim, lebron, etc being floppers, it would just be ridiculous. Its one of the reasons i still think deron williams is the better player, that and the fact that deron destroys him on most of the times they play each other.
No doubt he is an amazing player though. I like how he also yells at his players when they complain, it makes me smile, i just wish he realized he is doing the worst. maybe he does it to protect his players from doing it and making himself kinda the spokesman for the team to refs. its kind of what tim does, since refs will only listen to the stars. I just wish he wouldnt flop so much, i think he does it with the spurs more because he knows bowen is a marked man with the officials and he can get him in foul trouble.

I really don't see how it benefits us (Spurs fans) to start complaining about flopping or complaining about calls. It invites unpleasant comparisons.
Paul does look somewhat foolish with some of these, but I'm not going to say he's any worse than a lot of the players in the league today.
I think flop smack talk just sounds like excuse making.
