Will Wade ever stop falling every time he drives or shoots?

[Chris]

When it stops working, maybe he will stop.  But, currently it works more times than it doesn't, so where is his motivation?

All the superstars are cry-babies when they don't get the call. I recall you're supposed to get a technical when you react in a very inappropriate manner to the officials.. regular players get the whistle, Kobe can pick up the ball, flail his arms and approach the official and get no call.. It's so irritating when Wade does the same thing and all I can do is yell, "Hey, isn't that a technical?!" but no... the Miami Flop has crafted their way to becoming nothing more than floppers to get whistles because we all know their offense alone can't score too many points.

No they aren't Kevin Durant for one isn't a whining crybaby.

Should have used certain examples, but for the most part the "Superstars" of the league have gotten special treatment for a long time and now expect it. Kevin Durant I respect for playing the game and not doing the acting that now comes with it.

I thought Kobe's comments on flopping were spot on, but I was really intrigued by his 'fear' of taking charges... I never really thought about the career detriment taking charges could be... thoughts?

jermaine o'neal's career probably ended because of a charge

Jermaine O'Neal's career ended 2 seasons ago for the second time.  It essentially ended the first time when he signed his big Indiana contract.

It didn't end because of a charge.  It ended because he had no heart.

Completely agree with Einhorn/Finkel here. Well said. TP!
