No one is saying those pussy Euros don't flop, Blarg. Some of you pansies just act like that's the only sport with some kind of embellishing. But basketball is far worse. They cracked down on that shit in soccer, but basketball went the other way with some kind of opening up the offense so it's every game there.

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. 

 

After the Jordan era. Scoring declined so they started calling the worst ticky tack fouls and dudes started drawing them at will. I've always been a Lakers fan and Kobe fan, but he was one of the worst.

 

That shit of every time they go up for a shot they just let the ball fly up in the air and jump with their hands out stretched. Kobe mastered that.

Soccer players make Vlade look like an amateur.

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

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

They're all being bullied.

Awesome thread.

Wow -- what a little prick.....   The approving laughter was even worse.

Brandon there is no way that basketball is far worse. 

 

Until a basketball player holds his ankle rolls around on the ground and then has a trainer come look at him it will not be worse.

I'm guessing you have never played soccer nor seen Baron Davis?

I think the saddest part is that someone taught that kid how to do that, even to the point where they had him grab the jersey so the arms came forward.

 

Used to photograph kids playing club baseball, the parents were the ****ing worst.

[Brandon]

Kids emulating pros and their heros. Back in the day when I was on a basketball team I did that stupid thing of high fiving dudes at the free throw line because the NBA guys did it.

Sports Entertainment...that's what it's about.

Imagine how much it would spark things up, if Scisocia's pressers were like Ric Flair's.

Too much detail...that kid was taught unless his reaching out to grab the jersey was instinctual.

 

Oh well, either way. That kid is a douche and his parents are too...I bet they are from Texas! (oops...house happy hour started early apparently!)

His look getting up bugs the shit out of me.

And as someone said in the comments, what's a nine year old in a rec league doing wearing neoprene sleeves?

He thinks he looks cool as ****. Once this kid reaches high school he's going to get a few elbows to the face.

[m0nkey]

He looks like he's going to be quite the douche in a few years

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Not loving it....at all.  Hate this kind of baloney.  Kids needs a swift kick in the nuts.

Just saw this so I figured I should put it in here. Here's the difference between American soccer players and non-American soccer players

 

[Blarg]

Drama queen in pink shoes. That is so soccer.

I wish he would have gotten up and knocked the douche out. At least somebody caught it on video.

I stopped watching the NBA for a decade because of rampant flopping. Back into it a bit because the Clipps are making a run.
