If you want to count career....Kurt Thomas, cause he's still playing and still doing it.

This should be a poll - on a per-minute basis, I'd say Varejao, Ginobili...Dancing Bear's gotta be moving up the list, because there's maybe a dozen players in the league that can legitimately bowl him over, but he hits the deck every time he's looking for a charge.

Vince Carter wins hands-down for exaggerating injuries, but that's a little different than flopping.

The flopping that seems to be increasing is when guys fall down after shooting threes.  Lebron does it all the time.  It really bugs me.
I have no problem with the guys who flop to draw a charge.

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Right now? Anderson Varejao.

The greatest Flopper of All Time was Vlade Divac..of course he played for LA..picked up great acting skills there.

Derek Fisher is maybe the greatest clutch flopper in league history.  I've seen that guy swing final possessions 5 or 6 different ways through exaggerating contact against him or making contact in a way that the refs don't catch.  It's gotten to the point where I honestly kind of admire it, except when it's against us.

Across the whole game he's a ways from #1, but he brings it in crunch time.

You are correct D.Fish cornered the market on clutch flopping,but he has become slower with it as he gets older till its starting to become laughable at times,even when he pulls it on us(unsuccessfully).Remember New Yrs.day,the final shot by Fish?The score was close with a few secs.left and Fish pulls up to try a 3pt shot while Ray was guarding him,came up short on the shot but tried to flop into Ray.He failed at getting Ray to fall for the shot or the flop.When i watch the replay sometimes its comical to see.Im sure all the refs are on to him by now.

fisher, varajo, miller, ginobli....sad that we can all identify them, yet refs in the nba have been unable to do so yet.  :(

We have some pretty accomplished floppers ourselves...Pierce, Davis to name a few.

Between flopping and star calls the games get more and more discredited.
