NBA: Stop the Flop Petition

[cubblue13]

if you sell the call, then you deserve it. Refs should be able to tell. Just like when players scream after getting tapped on the elbow going up to get the call.

[SmoothMM]

@cubblue13 Refs can't be everywhere and see all the players' motions (3 referees vs. 10 players). But I doubt flopping will ever stop unless they integrate more physicality into the game by letting players get rough. Nothing excessive though.

[pinoydts91]

Players should be fined for flopping.... shit gets so irritating

[ayyson3000]

HE DIDN'T THROW'EM!!! LMFAO!!!! XD

[popomora]

he learned from the best (ginobli)

[monsieurmitosis]

@ AfricanH3ro

Nicely observed. This indeed is not soccer.

[hemelekkoff]

Who Cares!!

All the players FLOP including the Big Fat Shaq. All of them

Do you want a real and important petition??

STOP THE ALL-STAR-TREATMENT. Kobe, Wade, LeBron average like 10 free throws per game and they can easily shoot like 20 in the playoffs and in the finals

[D3Andr3]

I swear if Jeff Van Gundy leaves being a announcer I swear I will stop watching basketball! Him Mike Breen & Mark Jackson are the best!

[trowabarton321]

@D3Andr3 Breen and JVG are ok...But Mark sounds like a complete idiot sometimes.

[Silentium92]

(obvious) flopping should be a technical foul!

[Hellzplaygroundz]

Freakin Carlos Boozer and his stiff arming, i hope Horry was able to resume his career after this horrific incident at the hands of the evil Boozer. =)

[62convertible]

people sign the petition

[classicsfan94]

the funny thing is that this is minor compared to soccer, i was watching the FIFA world cup and probably like 20 times random people would just fall over for random sprained ankles and cramp up right as people were about to shoot the ball

[lilvjdude]

there should be ejections in soccer and basketball for flopping

[RBEO22]

Good old 2007, when UT got horribly screwed, and the refs did ALL the work for the Sterns.

[RapPremieres]

boozer just tossed him.....

[AfricanH3ro]

I hope they make a rule against it. This isn't soccer.

[eliaslaing12]

haha omg this doesnt even make me made.. haha just funny

[llJAFYll]

*shakes head *wow"

[kuleht0518619]

here in the philippines 1st flop= warning 2nd flop= technical.i hope the nba apply this rule also.

[StealOnU]

I like robert horry but god damn that is a pussy ass move...

[lilze96]

WTF is this the NBA or Soccer? come on now

[50bhhamnt]

Flopping is all right with me. You gotta do what you gotta do. Whatever it takes to win

[RBEO22]

@50bhhamnt Sure...if you're a little bitch

[mothahen123]

signed it

[blastmasterbiz]

Fuck the Spurps! Uglyest fuckin team ever to play NBA basketball.

[falvarez4]

who the hell cares about what they look like

[blastmasterbiz]

You missunderstod, the way they play ball is ugly

[timsk]

They should've put AK47 and horry together. Maybe they'll do a double flop and get a double foul.

[im23412313]

Petitions dont work.

[chachabom]

well, this is the Spurs's specialty, i think they practice this during training, there must be a set play for this or something. I mean, look at Horry, Ginobili and Bowen, they should get a grammy's award! NOT!

[Allistar123]

@chachabom grammy? dumbass you use Mark Jackson's quote totally wrong Bowen does not flop by the way so you just lose all credibility

[teagan684]

You should start a Facebook petition, I'll join it. We have to make a stand that the NBA will listen to.

[PerryHero]

its robert horry what do u expect

[RealspitHiphop604]

it's the spurs what do you expect.

greg has got to train his players in how to exploit so many situations it's obvious by studying gameplay, the refs need to pick up on it.

[TheDcneto]

lol we should make a petition for Hack a Shaqs

[32JSE]

Actually Hack a Shaq is very useful.Shaq isnt a good free throw shooter.Its like getting 1 or 0 points instead of 2.Sometimes Shaq might make them all tough.

[PriceGetsItDone]

If Hack a Shaq should be allowed then so should flops. They both shouldn't though because they both take the fun out of the game.

[32JSE]

Actually Hack-a-Shaq is allowed.Doesnt even matter.

[PriceGetsItDone]

Yeah I know it is, I should've phrased what I said better. Unfortunately I cannot think of a way to phrase what I'd like to explain. Stupid me. :P

But the point is they both take away the fun, Hack a Shaq especially. I'd hate to be a fan who paid money to watch an enjoyable game have that taken away from him because the other team has to resort to cheesy tactics just to get a win.

Imagine having to watch Shaq go to the free throw line non-stop for 10 plays. No enjoyment in that.

[32JSE]

I agree.Wouldn't it be rigged if Shaq would be allowed to score all the time and nobody would even try to hack him?Hack-a-Shaq is a good play, but it really is annoying when they do it to him almost in every play.That's one of the reasons why he hasnt been playing well in Cleveland.

[nukedco]

Damn, I'll sign that petition.

[lopiaz123]

THIS IS NOT SOCCER!!!!

[justineeyo]

lmfao I hate the fucking spurs now Ginobli especially

[ultimo2000]

hold up if it was yalls team yall wouldnt say shit about your player doing that.... be real now.... so dont hate the player hate the game

[justineeyo]

ya well it isnt our team is it. Our teams arent full of pussies floppin all the time.

[kuruptj0na]

well "your" team isn't one of the most successful franchises in this generation

[UNCfan9922]

well your yall a PRICK

[Hapsmash]

Reminds me of soccer. :p

[wtmpoppasmurf]

what a cheater

[ForcheAlex]

JVG tells it like it is

[koreyJmaker]

just like manu giflopy

[yes4me]

funny 5/5

[chefawkes]

these guys get coached to do it. If it you helps you win, then thats all that matters. sport is a business. its about the money. ya'll being naive to think integrity and honor has any business in business.

[edjar10]

horry

must been watching a lot of C. Ronalo videos

[oqal]

lmao

[fundy23]

These guys make so much money that they'd probably take the fine as long as they still won the game

[aeonokwap]

im glad those jazz floppers were beaten by masters

[teagan684]

Might have a carreer in soccer after basketball.

[sxpacks]

Bring on the Challenge flags.

If a coach suspects a flop throwout the flag

If it's a flop, Technical on the flopper

If it's not, Team is charged with a timeout

Final minutes all reviews come from the ref

Flops can only be challenged when it results in free throws.

1 ref does the free throw, the other reviews the tape. Verdict must be reached before freethrows are completed.

Two points automatically added if verdict is a flop.

[KCpro15]

yep.

[fripvince]

@sxpacks Send this to Mr. Stern immediately. Lol

[jrpace]

@sxpacks never going to happen.

[wadeownslbjkobe]

@sxpacks flops should also be able to be challenged if it's a players 5th or 6th foul regardless of free throws

[marscter564]

@sxpacks huge disadvantage for the heat. cannot happen.

[legendary77]

Wow SPURS and JAZZ the best flopping teams in the league!

[SalVillagomez24]

ginobli is the master of this...instead it being called the flop. it should be called the ginobli

[phalluses]

fuck your petition. spurs win because they have a brain, and unlike you commoners, they use their brains too.

[rockuzONE]

spurs still flopping

[Jonza121]

... and Will Smith falls down!

[underpressureUP]

then they will use an hour of every game reviewing calls...who wants to watch a game like that?

[dlxsfBRUH]

This happens in ever NBA game

[kwballzandy9206]

if your gonna do that shit play soccer lol

[Mavs101101]

STOP THE FLOPS UTAH AND SAN ANTONIO. Dirty players.

[dlxsfBRUH]

You're just upset that the Mavericks are fucking terrible.

[upabittoolate]

i am a huge horry fan but that shit was suspect

[GstateBALLER925]

yea same here... horrys tight, but that was pathetic. lol

[sciongod]

0:33

"wow.."

[farziran87]

and they ask why the nba is so much shittier than it used to be and noone watches. this stuff is common place and whether its the refs gambling on games or just great acting idk but they have to stop with this stuff. the spurs and jazz are great flopping teams and very talented floppers. the jazz are the poor mans version of the spurs but theyve got some emerging flop artists.

[benzeye]

Couldn't have happened to a more appropriate team. The Jazz are the kings of the flop, starting way back when with Malone and Stockton.

[TiuTeA]

Robert Horry .... and all spurs the most dirty team in NBA and maybe in the world They can't win Fairly ))

[Williamkurk]

That was funny!!! He went all out on that flop!

[TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Pathetic, but what can you do?

[dshaker14]

what the hell was that, no contact, are the referees blind, or they weren't paying attention, when nba players flop, they usually have some contact, boozer touched him, he falls like he tripped over something

[spicolisbrother]

haha at least in soccer the ref is far away. the ref was like 3 ft away and still couldnt tell. haha

[tikocal]

and people make fun of Soccer for diving

[Morzikei]

well, in football diving earns penalty kicks.

[Vernonu9]

Man, I hope Horry is alright.

[OneFunnyFellow]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHA. I laughed so hard when I read that.

[straightofdahood]

what do you expect?

[MadeinUniverse]

that was low

[rolemodlin]

Wow...an ex-Dookie getting burned by the flop. Almost makes me believe in karma.

[KangaKucha]

thats pretty sad

[shrek5592]

look at horry's face he's very serious.. its like he was really hurt..

[RepresentativeEAB]

I'm guilty of doing this too.. We floppers get a kick out of it.

[Coopypoopy16]

the hell with horry and the spurs. boozer "WOW"

[jimmy2lip]

fuck Horry

[AmericanAirmen024]

WOW what a bad call.

[kb24vskb8]

best acting award goes to ...... robert horry

lol

[TGFTH]

to be NBA player you have to Practice Basketball and Acting in same time...if u wana be bruce bowen you have to learn kung fu to kick someone's face

[belgradeboy89]

boozer '' WOW ''

[WtfARabbit]

Players are going to start getting fined for flopping now :D... looks like you "won".

[feezy243]

spurs has the most floppers lol ginobili, parker, and horry lol

[FunKADunK]

Van Gundy, though he can be an idiot sometimes, is so fun to listen to.

[Wadaay]

lol was that gundy. set the other commentator straight

[kingellis2007]

yeah this is an obvious flop, im glad the nba will start passing out fines because they are just making a full o

[micky2500]

Wtf do u mean this aint a flop the is the fuken def- of a flop

[Manx17]

This isn't a flop. But the spurs do flop all the time, there's about a million better examples than this.

[Quier0UnJellyb3an]

Are you kidding?

[oscargurses]

...looks like you got your wish! LOL, this is a perfect example of what needs to be done to take away this nonsense, so we can get back to playin ball

[ninjalobsta]

wtf??????? spurs r the gayesst team ever wit the 2 biggest floppers manu and horry and the dirtiest player wit bowen and the most boring player wit duncan and the hottest wife wit tony parker

[Quier0UnJellyb3an]

Yep...that pretty much sums it all up.
