Flopping is like an art to me. If a player can get away with it like Vlade does, I say more power to them. It helps his team by both giving them the ball back and tacking a foul onto an opposing player.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It helps his team by both giving them the ball back and tacking a foul onto another player</div> That's true, but only when it works. Vlade gets burned by his flopping alot also, which puts the Kings a man down on the defensive boards, as well as leaves a man open.
My favorite and most recognized aspect is his passing ability. He and Shaq are my two favorite passing centers, he sort of reminds me a very lesser Sabonis in that sense, not that he can jack up the 3's mind you :mrgreen: He has a pretty good balance, consistency and decency in both play and mentality. I'd say the only weaknesses he'd have would be age resulting in loss of speed and strength, maybe even awareness. The Flops he does is a Godsend. It simply shows how smart of a veteran he is. That I forgot to mention, he's quite an intelligent ball player as well.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Magic Johnson:</div><div class="quote_post">He and Shaq are my two favorite passing centers,</div> I don't think I'd call Shaq a passing Center. Maybe you just see more of him than the most other Centers in the league, because he's always on television. However, I could name you fifteen centers who are better passers. I won't do that though, because I want this thread to stay on topic; I'm just letting you know that Shaq isn't as great of a passing Center as you make him out to be. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">That's true, but only when it works.

Even if a "flopper" only has a 60% success rate, I'd consider it a positive attribute though.
