Worse thing that has ever happened to Basketball

[Blarg]

One step closer to becoming soccer.

[TobiasFunke]

and baseball

[Blarg]

There is no flopping in baseball.

[HaloCory22]

Wow. What is going on in sports culture and kids. Ugh.

[TobiasFunke]

O Rly?

 

[1nutkruk]

O Rly?

 

That is a flop?  The ball clearly hit him.

Not even close. Basketball is easily the worst. I think someone even created a Robert Horry greatest hits youtube.

[HaloCory22]

Basketball has taken over as the top flop sport by far.

Not sure if you're trolling...or just plain trolling

Maybe I need to reacquaint you with the Luis Suarez thread?

[Ray McKigney]

The coach should bench the kid for the next game.

Maybe you shouldn't consider one person to make up a whole global sport.

 

We have this discussion once a year. Players in every sport are always going to try for some kind of edge, basketball is just the worst. I'd even argue football has gotten really bad the past few years. I can't find my favorite, but some Broncos player got up off the ground after tackling Trent Green and kind of brushed him and flew back.

 

 

[Spirit]

I hate flopping.  Hate it!

 

But there are times when you just have to applaud anything that is so well executed.  

 

Kudos to the kid.

Nah, just looked at first like it hit him but upon further review it hit his bat.  I have deemed it a flop.

It is like the coach is using the Jedi mind trick on them.

Butt...butt...butt...SOCCER!

[Blarg]

Oh holy crap, soccer is the international Shakespeare in the Park for over dramatic flopping. No sport even comes close to those drama queens, grabbing ankles and falling over like fainting sheep.

[Angel Oracle]

Does Vlade's son like Marlboros too?

[1nutkruk]

[Angel Oracle]

Soccer players make Vlade look like an amateur.

A little shove, and it's like they were stabbed in the heart.

The point is, don't act like that shit doesn't happen in other sports

[sneaky_flute]

When did the flopping trend in basketball really take off? I don't watch basketball anymore, but I'll occasionally catch part of a game and see someone flop and it's just nauseating.
