How are we defining "worst flopper" here?

He gets a ton of points from flopping. Id say that makes him very effective at it, so maybe worst needs to be clarified.

I legitimately don't know why the league doesn't hand out suspensions for blatant flopping like that. It makes the entire league look like fucking children.

maybe it's too hard to determine if it's a flop in the next 30 seconds, idk.

i'd definitely favor the idea, though. you can even start small by suspending them for a quarter or something.

It doesn't need to be punished in game. These games are all reviewed post-facto anyways to measure referee performance. If the replay shows definitive proof of flopping, like this video does, it should be an immediate one game suspension.

I don't understand why sports don't harshly punish this behavior after the fact. You don't have to make the decision as the game is happening, but hand out ten game suspensions the day after for garbage like this. It will stop very quickly.

It's the league's fault, really.

The refs are taught to look at how players' bodies react to gauge how much if any contact was made as opposed to only calling fouls when they blatantly see the contact.

You look at a guy like Dirk Nowitzki, and he was a fucking master at making it look like there was legit illegal contact made on him by contorting his body to paint that illusion. Only through careful analysis of repeated slow-motion replays could anyone tell the difference.

So really, I don't agree with punishing players for flopping. Because ultimately we're just punishing them for being bad actors since all the good actors will continue to get away with it. If they don't want floppers, then they need to completely change up how they officiate fouls. Sadly, most pro sports leagues these days want to just keep throwing cheap paint on anything and everything that isn't 100% going the way they want it.

That's like arguing you shouldn't punish people for thieving because only bad thieves get caught. No, the act itself is still demonstrably unsportsmanlike and antithetical to the spirit of the games and should be punished every time it is provable beyond at least a reasonable doubt. With the multi-cam slow-motion recording available, that happens a lot.

I can tell the lot of you are new to the NBA. The greatest flopper of all time is the NBA is Manu Ginobli AKA Flopnobli. Youre welcome for thia info.

Always been a fan of the Bosh flop.
And that one from Chris Paul where hes trying to land an acting role and the other player is just looking at him.

The worst flopper in NBA history without question was Manu Ginobli.
