sheed said what most people already think. let flopping remain on the soccer field where is it the norm. sheed will get fined, but he probably knew that ahead of time. he is speaking from the heart, which i respect immensely.
Well, someone should tell this to Pierce and Rondo, I guess. Flopping is not limited to flying out of bounds on a charge. Pierce and Rondo routinely try to sell minimal contact when dribbling around the three-point line in a way in which you'd think someone is trying to take their heads off with a rusty pickaxe.
it goes for everyone, even celtics players. i detest the wimpy flopping you see every game. i look to the refs as the problem. if they dont get rewarded for flopping, they would stop bc they would not only be taken out of the play, but they would be wasting their time.
Pardon my green tinted shades but we don't really have any serial floppers on our team. I could see Rondo flopping every once in a while but that's it. Pierce takes alot of charges but actually absorbs alot of contact.
What has always been crazy to me is that a guy has to fall down for it to be a charge. For example, by definition, Perk probably takes like 10 charges a game, but no one is knocking that man down, so I am willing to bet he has
never taken a charge...ever. This is what happens when flopping infiltrates the league. You need it as a big man to get a charge call. Vlade da di Divac was the best at it (he was and still is my least favorite player of all time...his whole game makes me puke).
