It's not really flopping most of the time. Usually what he's doing is more similar to when an NFL team draws an offside from the defense. Harden tests the positional awareness of defenders more than anybody else right now, and that is a legit skill.
I don't get the complaints about Harden drawing fouls

No he's definitely flopping most of the time. nikka is talented as fukk which is what makes it so frustrating. Dawg has the ability but does fukk shyt instead instead of just playing ball.
I've heard someone describe him as a human pufferfish. You're all tentative around him because the second you get close the bytch pricks you aka flops/draws a cheap foul. shyts lame

But I think it's because too many players aren't good at defense. Someone like prime Gary Payton would be a nightmare for Harden and cause lots more turnovers from him and fewer FT attempts.
Some of the time it is a skill. He's able to exploit the defender's hand position or how they're playing him when he comes off a screen and he sells contact better than anyone. Combined with just how good Harden is without having to get to the free throw line, he's a bytch to defend.
But he pulls some real bullshyt sometimes and it's not debatable that he does.

To keep it real, he gets fouled a lot because he mastered his ball handling to make defenders think they can swipe the ball but they almost always foul him.
But for icing on the cake, he does flop regularly when it conveniences the team.

Yeah, some of those are bad, but the refs have no business calling it. I'd be much more angry at the refs than Harden. And that first one was a foul. 42 should have planted his feet.
Perhaps, however (even though it probably wouldn't have mattered) Harden attempted a 3 towards the end of the game, and instead of just shooting a regular 3, he attempted to contort his body to get a foul, and missed. And like someone said earlier, dude is talented, and should have to resort to doing things like that.
