The Art of Flopping....

A pretty funny article on ESPN in relation to the 'art of flopping' Well worth the read.

Short snippet of the article:

Bill Laimbeer: The Godfather. A master at appearing hurt & then sprinting back down the floor (the picture of perfect health).
" Reggie Miller: With legs kicks and splayed arms, hoops alchemist spun offensive fouls into defensive whistles.
" Dennis Rodman: The flop as taunt: clever defender used positioning and flamboyance to get calls and get inside opponents' heads

Cam over-emphasises a possible foul... (Whether it happened or not)This is also considered 'Flopping'.

he's a good player but he plays frustrating basketball, his defence is extremely cheap for someone who expects every foul called when he has the ball. he's a hacker.
