Greg Oden Offensive Foul on Marc Gasol (Flop)

Sure, you can call this an offensive foul, but this just shows how ridiculous flopping has gotten in the NBA. I'm one who believes that big men should be able to play as big men and not have to worry about others flopping any time they try and back somebody down. It's not hard to draw contact down low and fall to the ground acting like someone just shot you.

As Rasheed Wallace puts it:

This game is watered down. Its watered down with all of that flopping (expletive). I just said that (Turkoglu) is a flopper. I didnt use no profanity, and Derrick (Stafford) gave me a tech. Aint like its the first time I said it. But everyone knows that hes a damn flopper. Thats all that Turkoglu do. Its not like I dug my shoulder into him. He hits my shoulder on a pick and he goes, Oooh, and he acted like I shot him."

thats a legit charging foul. no flop. he had position, took it in the chest, and went down. CHARGE

[FreeOden52]

Seriously?  Do you honestly think a little bump like that would knock over a 7 footer who is about 270 lbs?

Just use common sense here. Marc Gasol is one one of the biggest floppers in the NBA.

[JakeHenry41KC]

doesn't matter how fat they are. if he has position and takes it in the chest its offensive. your supposed to fall down and sell it. thats called "taking the charge".

[FreeOden52]

No, that's called flopping.

[JakeHenry41KC]

[MisterBinx]

You know, looking at this years later, why didn't Oden just shoot that. He has a nice looking shot. I wouldn't care if he bricked that.

its a charge, it doesn't matter how big you are, when you take a charge you are suppose to fall. Flopping is when there's absolutely no contact, no legit positioning, a player just pretty much acts the whole thing...I hate to say this, but learn the rules especially about blocking/charging fouls, learn to play basketball, learn the word "flop", go check out other videos, you would see the difference, it would make you feel like you are watching soccer and lastly just learn to enjoy the game
