Just saw Hardin act like he got punched in the jaw and flew backwards and was thinking I have been hurt a lot worse playing at the gym and wouldn't dream of letting it show it hurt. I know they are trying to draw fouls, but man it gets annoying to watch these huge grown men flopping.

And the players know how it is and play it up even more.

That's what I love about hockey...penalty to the player flopping

At least it's not as bad as soccer...

Soccer gives out yellow cards for dives....

ya right haha christiano ronaldo would have about 150 million yellow cards man

In theory

I remember David Stern making a big deal about doing something to curtail the flopping problems after the season ended a couple of years ago. Nothing ever came of it.

In the gym, the offense would call their own foul, then near the end of the game, people would be complaining. Sometime near the middle of the game, people would start arguing over the score. Also, no free throws are shot, so at the end of the game, you better have a wide open look or you are going to get hammered, especially if someone on your team has called a few fouls.
