Manu Ginobli is the biggest flopper ever

I can't believe the refs haven't caught on to him yet. He flopped the Pistons into three offensive fouls yesterday; my god he falls down if someone runs past him. I was so happy to see the Pistons win in overtime after he flopped San Antonio into a tie at the end of regulation.

2. John Stockton used to run player-only meetings while on the Jazz

It was at these "meetings" that he and Karl Malone used to teach the youngsters how to flop, lol.

3. They should find a way to make flopping a foul

When the European players first came into the NHL, this was a problem. They made diving a penalty, and a lot of it went away.

I don't know if it's the influence of soccer or what, but the Latin American and European basketball players do it too. It would make the game a LOT more entertaining if they called fouls for this.

5. technically, it is

if they would just apply the rule. There's a rule about "intentionally misleading the officials." I have to believe that's applicable.
