Chris Paul and the Art of the Flop

[dangvuson]

clearly a foul imo

[SanguineBullet667]

BAN EVERY FLOPPER THEN IT WILL STOP

[17thwonder]

epic

[rolandroiroi]

These guys should need to learn from dwyane wade. The guy doesnt often flop that much maybe one flop per 3 games, but he knows how to make them real. Unlike these players *cough* cp3 *cough*gasol *cough* ginobili that always flop like 3 times a game. They dont have the talent to master the art of flopping

[youasillybish]

It was a necessary evil. Flopping to create a call should be a Technical Foul but on this play watch Scola's left hand grab Paul and prevent him from getting to the inbound pass. If CP3 fights through the foul the ball probably goes out of bounds for a T.O. because the referee's missed the grab so he had to take a dive. He and Rondo hit the floor a lot but it's within the rule book for the most part and it protects them from being played physical like teams play Rose.

[MikaOwns]

he learned this at the divac school of flopping over in europe

[kobebeef824]

chris paul is a little bitch. All he does is flop... especially in this first round vs Lakers

[Mukik1213]

That's not a flop...CP3 tried to dive for the ball when he lost his handle to avoid the turnover...come on

[NWsideHtownBaller]

He flopped so well that the fans actually thought he was fouled, but they were probably drunk anyways!!!

[defekt87]

Come on Chris Paul...you are better then that

[remziiee]

It looks like a flop, but at the same time it looks like Chris Paul lost the handle; he dived for the ball to avoid the turnover which made the flop look worse than it was.

[m4tttc]

mayb thats why he wil always be on a sucky team :/

[FaceTweetSpace]

i play basketball in a league myself and sometimes you have to emphasize contact especially when ur guarding a more physical player.... but i get that the kind of flop that CP3 did was unnecessary

[alaher21]

This is why D-Will and D-Rose are better. CP3 and Rondo are notorious for flopping and refs need to catch on.

[xXRequiremXx]

come on CP3 youre better than this

[madllamaboy]

is flopping the equivalent to diving in football?

if so, they should both be banned

[TheMattyT]

chris paul is not a master flopper, are you kidding me? everyone flops in basketball at some point, its part of the game. its a smart, savvy move. some players take it to an extreme, yes ok fine, but chris paul is not one of them.

[Only1Bukwild]

people! if you look at there feet.... he step on his right foot and thats why he fell..... look!

[Morinethar]

@Only1Bukwild It's physically impossible for him to step on his right foot from his positioning. Especially in a way that would make him trip.

[NoDunKing]

is cp3 friend with manu?

[590221010]

12 dislikes? Must be the all the Hornet fans, whole dozen of them.

[WhereTheCheeseAt]

fucking caveman 

[AdrianPetersonFan369]

This is another reason why Rondo is the best PG in the NBA; he's tough and he doesn't flop.

[AIR811]

@AdrianPetersonFan369 Rondo??? lol if ur looking 4 a tough PG that would be D-Will, who is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Rondo. And don't say Rondo is a better passer, if defenses played off DWill and he had 4 future hall of famers, he'd average more assists, and definitely more points

[TruthMakeYouMadLOLHa]

Good job CP3! Give Scola his own medicine mwaahaha!

[DNW41]

The referee is sending help to Mrs. Fletcher, oh I hope he gets there in time.

[sam17roller]

@ATLKing STFU u idiot. Your foot doesn't go backwards when u are goin forward! U dumb fuck!

[ATLKing132]

I'm a big paul flop fan but he got tripped up on this one look at his back foot if ur tryin to lift it up and someone's foot is behind yours ur gonna fall!!

[theanzer]

looked like he was diving to save the ball...

[ASwass23]

you sure thats a flop im pretty sure scola stepped on his shoes

[ecwsan13]

they got a point sure he flops but he gets away with it just like so many other players i think if they wouldnt allow it so much all the players wouldnt flop as much and they would all have a cleaner game...

[sammiej22]

paul flops all the time....his game is so ugly....I don't care what people say...he's so damn awkward....

[MrCohiba101]

if i was scola i'd just wait until the next possession and then really give it to paul

[Andres247ish]

D- will> chris fall

kobe> Lebronze

[animebrawler]

It helps your team don't it. Theres always bad calls in every game.

[syomi11111111]

starting score was 69 - 69???

umm....

[LilBo10]

@syomi11111111 its the 4th quarter..

[Marakulous43]

Chris Paul is a GAYFISH!!!

[VannieYpc]

LOL IVERSON USE TO DO THE SAME SHIT

[d3i0n201]

every nba player flops they gettin millionions from it nd drawin fouls so why complain

[vegetroyyy]

flopping is stupid ,, it should be always just technical foul if u flop

[MikeAKAEarl]

@vegetroyyy Fisher would be ejected every single game if that was put into place haha.

[optimusman8]

@vegetroyyy do u know what flopping is u moron. refs cant tell if its a flop cuz the player makes it look like a charge. so where the hell would the ref get a technical for that. u fucking monkey 

[vegetroyyy]

@optimusman8

look in replay u fool ,, at the amateur teams where u play they dont have replay ,, but this is nba =p

[WackAWarrior]

@vegetroyyy that would be dumb cuz there are times when people do coommit fouls

[sevreal4]

@vegetroyyy floping is a way to change ur opponent 's defense strategy, if they decide to play extra physical against you, u flop them to get them fouls and get the out of yourself, creating space. You may not like floping but you need to flop in a basketball game.

[hachakaza]

@vegetroyyy in soccer u get a yellow card for floping (equivalent of a tech, cz 2 yellows = ejection), i think they shud have that in the NBA

[tpstrat14]

@vegetroyyy That's dumb because on nearly every flop, if the foul isn't called, the offensive team gets a score. It's a risk to flop and like this video says, it's an art. LOVE IT.

[thanasi1721]

look at their feet scola stepped on him

[werby12]

wait name like 1 nba player that has never floped... then tell me hes so horrible

[sds654]

CP3 best pg who flops

[VasDeferens]

id flop too if he was grabbing me like that. gotta do what you gotta do to get the d to play fair.

[XxMetalGorxX]

Chris Paul 1 - All the other floppers 0

[Piestatic]

that wasnt a flop......

[NalFlasH]

@Piestatic u are obviously retarded

[SleepyClassof08]

It actually looks like he Scola's foot kicks Pauls foot. But wtf yall sayin Paul a bitch for? Luis Scola is a PF and is one of the biggest floppers in the game

[lakershd]

COME TO LA CP3 ! WE WOULD HAVE A WAY BETTER BIG 3 THAN THE HEAT.

KOBE > LECHOKE, PAUL > D-WHISTLE, GASOL > CHRIS SOFT

[7Pe7eR7]

@lakershd You are such an idiot ...

[djmrnelson]

Thumbs up for using that old commercial "i've fallen and I can't get up" lol

[hellomotobleh]

and people whine about football dives. wowowowowow hypocrites especially them usa folks

[paddycrackhead]

@hellomotobleh Only problem is it's a huge percentage of football players who dive vs a small percentage of NBA players

[hellomotobleh]

@paddycrackhead if that were true, then what's the difference? but not a huge percentage of football players dive. i dont think you know that there are only some 400 players in the NBA and tens of thousands of premiership and second league football players. you watch soccer for one month in your life because the world cup and give a bad name on the sport after that one short month.

[leonardliyi]

That was so fake!

[slimshady1022]

say wat u want about the celtics but at least we dont need the refs to cheat for us u laker bastard. CELTICS AND CP3 HATERS FALL BACK KICK ROCKS AND SUCK A BIG DICK U BITCHES

[BLADE619333333333333]

omg quit flopping damn you make yourself look bad lol

[zeroluu]

he didnt really flop for that, i think he just dived for the ball

[9revolta]

@zeroluu

Yeah, I agree Scola grabbed him by the waist preventing him from diving. But he did a little acting to get the call.

[Taywarit13]

well i guess soccer isnt the only sport that flop...but people bash soccer more but these black nba act way worst then soccer

[CorrectionPen]

fuk Flopping should received a Technical foul

[heatballin]

Hell yea. dats how you play the game. look at Jordan and Kobe they get away wit so many things it's great. learn from em

[sonicamylovers11]

I don't even like basketball and I can tell that he is a bitch

[Sr9896]

@SurlyCalifornia okay and go get kobe another white girl to rape ... and laker fans are blind to the bullshit and the refs callz

[BBall0027]

@Sr9896 This is officially my favorite YouTube comment I've ever seen.

LAKERS SUCK!!!!

[Sr9896]

@BBall0027 hahaha yea you said it man

LAKERS SUCK!!!!

[vladradforpres5]

@Sr9896 haha back to back champs. suck it

[vladradforpres5]

@BBall0027 Back to Back am I right?

[vladradforpres5]

@Sr9896 you were there? you know for sure kobe raped that girl? every team gets bs calls, not just the lakers

[BLADE619333333333333]

@vladradforpres5 yeah kobe did rape that girl dumass they just try to hide it... kobe is a rapist get your head out of your ass!!!

[Sr9896]

How come nobody see this when the lakers do??? huh?

[SFSD16]

"i have fallen and cant get up" hahahahaha XD

[v3rsionfade]

Lol you guys are idiots, you guys are hating on Chris Paul, when hes making millions. A great PG. While you guys are fat.

[theman2k7]

lol what he say about parker

[GroinsItchin]

"Well he falls down on everything, and he gets the call" LOL classic. Chris Paul the actress!

[TheMikeyG13]

He did not trip him, if you look closely his right foot is parallel to Chris Paul's when he plants it, unless CP3 has the coordination of a newborn baby he is not going to fall from that...

[saskue5885]

probably was a foul but didn't need to flop

[soSiccK]

CP3 was giving Scola a dose of his own flopping medicine

[uptown303]

falls down on everything or not you gotta find the humor in this shit. hahahahaha

[Skittles658]

According to Clutchfansdontnet everyone in the NBA flops unless you are on the Rockets.

[iratebsc]

The NBA sucks

[MsRaEvYnBaBy]

way to fake it chris

[justineheartsmac]

CP3 is my fav player. but that was no foul on Scola. Chris Paul call on that. the faka that inbound the ball forgets Paul don't got arm length and Paul picked up his foot at the wrong time. Wait til Paul pushes off Scola is smarter. oh well, superstars get their calls.

[Lampheader]

is it just me, or is it extremely obvious scola tripped him with his right foot

[fobsternd]

clearly cp3 was tripped

[MoSxyxnr24]

ok that´s not a foul but look closely it looks like CP3 just slipped so stop hating

[romanator14]

@MoSxyxnr24 I bet you wish you were sucking Paul's dick right now don't you?

[babasaki69]

AHHHAHAHAHA AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA

[76er2Nugget2Piston]

HAHA CP IS STILL AWESOME THO

[mikefly3113]

"He falls down on everything"

so true

[fhsdawgs377]

@mikefly3113 haha ur a dumbfuck...he barely ever flops...every fuckin player in the nba flops every now and then...ITS THE NBA!!!!!!!

[mikefly3113]

@fhsdawgs377 agreed but don't give me that shit chris paul is one of the worst

[jyhluk]

KARMA FAGGOT PAUL it's comin for you

[BUTTON89]

paul is the biggest fag ive ever seen PERIOD!!!!

[Tinawink100]

@BUTTON89 stop being a Hater pussy

[Tinawink100]

@BUTTON89 stop being a Hater pussy

[BUTTON89]

@Tinawink100 stop being a dick sucker pussy

[MrWyte1]

best PG in the NBA

[kalloused]

@MrWyte1 That would be Deron Williams actually.....

[FreeCapital]

He has delicate little legs. He better whip them into shape before the NBA makes new rules against women playing in the NBA. Oh wait......

[Kyprtonite03]

@falasaan your mom is

[Tinawink100]

@falasaan Paul will cross yur ass any day

[nabam]

@falasaan lol really? thats why he rapes any pg in the league ?

[guitarrules00]

@falasaan u mean paul is a beast!

[tywonellington]

wow, gotta love the NBA!

[MCRenaissance]

This is a horrible flop, and the fact is that Paul does this on a daily basis.

[Blaira89]

if you watch very closley it looks like there may have been feet tangled

[yanakiss]

I hate chris paul and his "good guy' image! floppin bitch!!

[Handlez362]

So Scola made his carrer off of flopping and so does 99.9% of all european players

[Nostalgia98]

and 99.9% of american nerds talk shit on youtube as if they have accomplished anything themselves as well

[Handlez362]

That's fine because im not American or a nerd nice try though! You don't have to reply for me to know how stupid you appear to be.

[Nostalgia98]

thats interesting coz your profile says clearly-

City: Miami

Country: United States

just stop it, seriously

[Handlez362]

Hold on I'll change my city to hong kong . Stupid fuck it's the closest U.S city to the Bahamas so GTFO. You just made an ass out of yourself again. You should take your advice and "just stop it, seriously" !

[wiesoliestdudas]

@Handlez362 its surely not his fault if you are writing shit on you profile, btw you CAN choose bahamas as home country

[Handlez362]

Umm yes I know you can choose Bahamas as a country ,but certain videos are restricted. And please reply to me in english if you wish to refer to me. Austria < The Bahamas!!!

[wiesoliestdudas]

moron

[Handlez362]

Neanderthal

[wiesoliestdudas]

ok, i think were acting pretty childish now, so better break up^^

[Handlez362]

Alright was nice arguing with ya

[Earuto4]

@Nostalgia98 How is he talking shit?

[edu32]

paul moda faka!!

[edu32]

shut up

[thecubanratio1]

Well Scola's the biggest flopper in the entire league so at least he got a taste of his own medicine...but that definitely wasn't a foul.

[DrHagencito]

Did any one notice it was 69 to 69 b4 arrest hit that shot

[hemdall91]

Lol,someone wanted to inch the balance to their side.m'irite?

coughwhypaulcoughwhycough

[bettaboy]

haha, if anything, he was holdin him up at the waist.. but do whatever it takes to get the refs to get the other players fouled out right? haha.. but this one's just sad

[ultimatederon]

CP3 is quickly becoming the new Manu Ginobili. He flops on everything and gets the call. Ugh! It's sickening!

[thereemix]

aahh , good ol fashioned flop. always gets em especially if youre a little man

[TheBostonCeltic]

That is smart, usually people fall on a push. But falling on a grab makes it look like Scola is pulling him away from the ball.

[nbaman3]

the end is hilarious

[blizzleman]

hahahaha 0:29 is so true...hahaha what a fag..

[MegaDavo13]

shame

[jclowers5]

I love the commentary, they are like yeah Scola fouled him...then they see the replay and they are like that's just shameful on CP3's flop.

[shadyparadox]

The ball bounced back up and hit him in the face.

[thizz99]

luis scola suck and he flop all the time

[eNg3842]

lol nice english

[thizz99]

fuck forgot sum s's but u know wat i mean

[qbthething]

scola dont do obvious flops like these other guy though.

[thizz99]

naa he flops but doesnt take charges those obviuos flops u thinkin bout r ppl takin charges

[guiguiwzr]

seems to me that scola walked on cp3's foot and that's wht made him fall... :S so not a flop but an usual application of physics I guess

[sebastianreviews]

this is a video to all that say "that international players floops"

[RAJON4RONDO9FAN]

ok all of dem r good points.. but rite now der doin better without him.. cp3 is great but hes not gettin his teammates involved as much as he can but he still gets his assists other players jus need touches... nd i dnt want any1 thinkin dat im sayin hes badd hes jus playin a lil out of it even tho hes still puttin up numbers..nd rondo can still do good on a team besides boston look wat he did in da playoffs..nd all he had was ray allen kuz mos qames paul pierce was playin like ass

[iOLY32]

the ending is the best. that commercial makes me laugh so much.

[RAJON4RONDO9FAN]

lmao yea da end was hilarious..but i jus hate chris pauls gay fake floppin dirty player ass

[YourImmoralGod]

Kind of ironic coming from a Rondo fan. Chris Paul may flop, but he's still the best PG in the league. On the other hand, Rondo is a thug and I hope he gets a career-ending injury.

[RAJON4RONDO9FAN]

chris pauls a fuckin thug 2 cuase he punched sum1 in da balls in college nd he puched bruce bowens in da balls nd he punched al harrington in da head in da game dey had dis season..nd after da celts game he went 2 der locker room 2 fight rondo..nd speakin of injusries chris pauls bum ass jus got 1 in his last gme aqainst portland so stfu nd learn wat u tlkn bout beeitch

[YourImmoralGod]

First of all, why do you type like that? Second of all, Rondo IS a thug. Rondo is known for being a douche bag. For example, when he pushed Kinrich into the scorer's table.

He also went up to Chris Paul this season after the game and told him he wasn't going to win a championship. Trash talking is one thing, but that is a straight up douche move on his part.

Also, Rondo has 3+ superstars on his team, what do you think he would do in CP3's position?

[RAJON4RONDO9FAN]

1st off i type like dat kuz dis is fuckin youtube not english class so stop suckin me..nd i kno rondo came 2 him after da qame dats y i sed if hes a thug den paul is 2..nd trash talkin is a biq part of the NBA evry1 does it even chris paul..nd rondo wuld still do good in cp3s position he wuldnt hav a ring tho..nd evry1 needs 2 stop pullin da oo he has 3 or 4 superstars on his team BS kuz hes talented look wat he did in da playoffs with out kg nd paul nd ray werent even consistent it was all RR

[duduzak]

@RAJON4RONDO9FAN Your typing just makes me want to give up reading youtube comments....

[TChustz3]

haha

[jkid502]

aye man thats kinda dirty to wish that on somebody, but thug though he went to my church in louisville man. i doubt he's a thug

[jkid502]

bra chris paul is still the best PG in the game right now, and all players in the pros play dirty, thats what seperates the pros from college and high school

[RAJON4RONDO9FAN]

i kno dey all play sumwhat dirty but ppl r suckin him nd dey sayin rondo's a thug but so is cp3 den kuz hes done more dirty shyt den rondo..nd hes 1 of da best i cant say hes da best rite now he hasnt been doin much 4 his team dis season

[jkid502]

Man look at the hornets' roster all they he is chris paul and david west, and david wet is injury prone. Emeka Okafor ha no offensive presence on the court. On the other hand rondo has three allstar players around him and a supporting cast. Its not hard to run up the court and make pretty passes and play good defense and rebound. I saying he's no scorer; he's great though, at everything else but shooting.Really rondo is getting so much recogniton cause he had to step up, who else did boston hav

[grenadianking3]

hop off my dick

ur goin hard for no reason

[grenadianking3]

lmao the ending is from that fake insurance commercial

[chickenbrainz87]

LOL the ending is hilarious...

[qLsMx]

lol. commentator whispers

"... he falls on anyone.."

rofl

[wildnoutlr]

it looked like he dove 4 th eball and they called a foul not a flop

[tranedecoy]

pussy

[zoomlebronboi23]

WHAT A BITCH MOVE !

[dsknyn]

you guys are stupid. CP3 didnt flop, he jsut slipped and got the lucky call

[onevnwo]

us ROCKETS fans are used to this behavior

teams try it on us all the time because they cant hang with our TIGHT DEFENSE

[LALakrs4life]

You Rockets wont make it past the first round this time.

[aznwayz]

Says a fan of a team who couldnt finish off a 40 mil deficit team, ooops oh well

[Theodore234]

LOL, i like the ending Lol

[rgarz33]

i hate all flops

[usteeler81]

Thankfully the NBA's fining players for flops, hell they should give them a technical like in FIBA, it's ridculous!

[whomiketrann]

really?? thank lord if thats true, i think they should just give techs and suspensions too

[MVPChrisPaul]

thats a just a smart move by paul.

[FisjerMan]

i wanna see this from another angle, cus it looks a biit like scolas foot hits his foot, but not sure
