No one on my squad flops.
Denver Nuggets Blog – Roundball Mining Company » Media Day recap
Iguodala was by far the funniest player at Media Day. He was extremely laid back and spent a good portion of his time laughing with the media about some pretty random stuff. He said he likes rap music but, “it’s gotta have some substance.” Then he talked about watching golf all weekend and how he couldn’t believe the U.S. lost the Ryder Cup. Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post asked him about his golf game. He said if by golf he meant barely making contact with the ball, then yeah, he plays it. He also went on a rant about flopping and the difference between European floppers and American floppers. He said, “I’ve never been a fan of flopping. There’s some American guys in the league who don’t even flop, they just scream.” Someone asked him about watching the Lakers-Nuggets Game 7 replay and he seemed genuinely upset that NBATV showed more Lakers runs than Nuggets runs — which was really, really good to hear.

:dead: Your hate for fisher is so strong

In all honesty, you should hate him a lot more than I do. He was losing games for your team for years. Even when he "won" games he was just making up for the 10-15 points he shaved throughout the game.

So Iggy says there are some guys who DON'T flop but scream and you're referring to Kobe? You're right, Kobe doesn't flop. :youngsabo:

Kobe and Pau are verbal floppers. even if they don't take a dive, they're still trying to deceive the refs/cheat their way to the line and should be dealt with accordingly. :ld:

idk how i feel about this, i like it in theory, but determining non obvious flops can be extremely subjective

Yeah, for a play like this would it be a fine or not?

Even though it looks like a flop, how would you be able to justify handing out a fine when a small argument could be made that it wasn't a flop

The easy way to stop flopping would be controversial.

Flopping is used to STOP the shooters POSSESSION AND prolong defensive TEAMS from falling into team penalty for free throws.

Reverse this by making offensive fouls a team foul for the defense, BUT STILL NOT A PERSONAL FOUL on or against the shooter. So if you feel you cant stop Lebron fine no need to get sloppy and try to hide from the refs, just flop down and give up free throws anyway. But keep defense players from foul out from TOUCH FOULS.

Then it won't matter if they flop defense because they get the possession of the ball, but they will give up free throws quicker.
A clear path foul is already two FT + BALL right?


The refs are already on high alert for flagrant fouls, so this will cancel out the unfair balance.

Goaltending is changed for this season too, ONCE SHOT TOUCH RIM anybody can touch the ball no waiting or hesitation.
