    Pretty self-explanatory. Pick a player for each position, that is a known flopper. If need be you can have an "honors" or "sixth man".

    <u>My list</u>
    PG - Devin Harris
    SG - Raja Bell
    SF - Corey Magette
    PF - Antawn Jamison
    C - Anderson Varejao

    Sixth Man - Manu Ginobili

    Those are 6 very good players. Who cares if they flop? They're not in the NBA cause of their flopping skills, they're in the NBA cause they're awesome players. Manu especially.[​IMG]

    Lol, nothing against them. Just curious if anyone can name anyone else. Thought it would be a pretty cool topic as well. [​IMG]

    Sasha Vujacic. He always tries to draw a charge when he is guarding someone full-court.

    I would argue that a lot of those players wouldn't be in the NBA or would be end of the bench type of guys if they didn't flop like crazy. Mine would be:

    PG- Devin Harris
    SG- Manu Ginobili
    SF- Raja Bell
    PF- Dirk Nowitzki
    C- Jarron Collins

    Bench- Maggette, Vujacic, Varejao

    Shouldn't the king of flop, Bruce Bowen be on everyone's list?

    PG - Derek Fisher
    SG - Leandro Barbosa
    SF - Bruce Bowen
    PF - Andres Nocioni
    C - Anderson Varejao
    6th Man - Manu Ginobili

    That argument is laughable at best. What does Manu's flopping have to do with his clutch 3's, key steals, and taking the ball to the hole WITH EITHER HAND in traffic off a quick first step?
    Labeling these guys floppers is like criticizing Carmen Electra cause her legs aren't long enough.

    Only from a fan.[​IMG] they are not taking away from his skills, just pointing out his flaws.
    Floppers are a disgrace to the league and to all the other players who do without the excessive flopping.

    I would have put him as my SF, but Magette is just too hilarious. It is so blatantly obvious, especially when he flails everywhere.

    Sasha Vujacic is also another player that flops, but he isn't that great even when he does sell it.

    That's gotta be the ultimate diss - not only are you a FLOPPER, you are an INEFFECTIVE flopper.[​IMG] [​IMG]

    Dude. Sasha Vujacic is trash. He's the garbage of all garbage. He's the definition of scrub. He's the definition of suckiness. He's horrible.

    Hmm, I'd take him over a couple of dudes on your team. Cook and Smush for starters - those guys look like they have no clue what they're doing out there.

    Smush isn't even NBA material. He isn't even NBA practice material. At least Sasha gives some effort on the court, though he still sucks like hell. Sasha has always been a great player in practice, unfortuantely he can't convert that to real games. Cook sucks as well, but he's a great shooter, unfortuantely, he is dumb, and plays no defense like the rest of our team.

    Sasha is probably the worst player in the NBA (besides Smush). The only reason why he's still on our roster IMO is because he gives a lot of effort. But even with all that effort, he sucks.

    [​IMG] Vujacic will be a scrub if you made a team out of scrubs.

    Anyways as a raptors fan I'd throw Mopete on the 2nd team with the number of charges he takes(fakes).

    I'm suprised no one has mentioned Pau Gasol, he drives me nuts!
