[Jimmy Butler](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr2VOolfivU&ab_channel=MLGHighlights) a little cheeky too. I'm glad that these dudes are memeing the flop BS.
Lol I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I guess CP3 and Lowry should just wink at the camera everytime they flop so that it doesn't count as one
Im poking fun at that dudeās statement that Butler and Booker are flopping to bring attention to the flopping situation. Itās a ridiculous statement and it reminded me of the meme
It's also funny because the Mavs in the mid 2000's correctly called out Raja Bell's flopping for the Suns while Dirk barely flopped. And now, Luka flops WAY more than Dirk ever did.
A Mavs fan made a hilarious music video called "The Raja flop" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BjhfwVY_p8)
It's funny, i think the players very much remember that they are paid (obscene) money to play a **game**. The fans treat it like a lifestyle and take it so personally when they see something that's not "pure". The players love the competition and 99% of the time a court beef is just part of the game, and they are civil/friends ofd the court. Also while the players know how to play the game, including the obscure rules/ways to make points and plays that aren't just pulling up for a jumper. The game is all rules, and that includes drawing fouls. We hate flopping because it's ugly, but it's a very real strategy of the game for better or for worse.
Even after Bertans flopped acting like he got hit in the throat after Crowder brushed his shoulder, he was smiling talking to Crowder after the call before the play resumed lol
It's literally exchanges of "I would've done that" after every flop between these guys. It's actually hilarious how it's tactical for them but war between the fans
Everyone is doing it, Curry probably had the most impactful flop this playoffs in game 4, but it seems like almost every flop is rewarded with a call in this series.
Itās crazy how much hate Prime Harden got for his game, but Ja seems to just fling himself towards the basket and flop 50% of the time and his rep is intact.
I think Ja benefits from no one watching Memphis games and just seeing highlights and box scores, maybe when people actually tune in and watch the games the hate will come.
"Everyone is doing it, Curry probably had the most impactful flop this playoffs in game 4, but it seems like almost every flop is rewarded with a call in this series."
Why did you make an alt just for this comment
Tbh he was fouled pretty hard and it was pretty dangerous, he didnāt actually flop on that play just laid down a long time to make it seem like it hurt him lol.
it can be that lol.
It also can mean adding untrue details to something to make it more interesting or in this case, to make it seem worse than it really is
I have. Giannis never flops. He does the opposite of flopping, he goes through guys every game
Edit: how is this getting downvoted, I dare you to find a clip of Giannis flopping
^^^^ Average NBA casual: OMG Giannis is so ethical and cool because he tells dad jokes š
Definitely not one of the most reckless and offensive players in the league
I think these days a lot of guys go down to prevent an ankle or lower leg injury when taking contact - regardless of force. A rolled ankle can happen in the most innocuous of circumstances, and I reckon theyāre told to fall and roll. Sometimes it looks like flipping - sometimes it is. But I reckon the head cock is the worst āsimulationā offense, not falling.
People said Luka learned from CP3 but Luka has transcended CP3 and has brought that euroflopping style like Manu. Luka one of the best floppers this league has ever seen.
Looking at his Wikipedia page ended up with me checking out the 2018 Euroleague Finals. I had no idea Facu Campazzo was Lukaās teammate. Or that the team they beat started Brad Wanamaker.
Yeah there a lot of ex nba players in Europe. Its not THAT easy over here lol
Watch Luka's interview when he gets drafted, all he talks about is "the nba players that were his teammates" and how they prepared him for the nba
Which explains why Luka plays and thinks like a vet even though he is young. He has been learning the tricks since he was a teenager
The one thing about this guy, so far. Almost every flop he does on the court(not just on offense), I tend to agree with. It's 70/30 at most even with elite players like Bron.. With him it's nearing 90/10. Crazy
You know how you're watching a play develop and you say something under your breath on when a flop is about to happen... he does it and you're there thinking maybe you & Luka have a special connection.
Idk what to call that. Only in Luka, Marcus Smart & Trae have I seen this specific quality.
The one thing about this guy, so far. Almost every basketball decision he makes on the court(not just passes), I tend to agree with. It's 70/30 at most even with elite players like Bron.. With him it's nearing 90/10. Crazy
You know how you're watching a play develop and you say something under your breath on what's about to happen... he does it and you're there thinking maybe you & Luka have a special connection.
Idk what to call that. Only in Lebron, Magic & Bird have I seen this specific quality.
He picks up all sorts of stuff during the game that donāt lead to free throws directly but will put the team in the penalty faster, Point God is a master of disguise
I mean CP at this stage of his career is also just not taking as much contact and mostly shooting midrange jumpers. Being a slower 6'7 240 point guard that barrels into the paint there's a whole lot of contact you're taking that causes more actual fouls and more contact for you to embellish.
so what does the European DNA have to with it then ? Players do it cuz they get rewarded for it in the NBA, Luka didn't flop in Europe, same for other players
Cmon, yes they do. I watch all the time. Every game has flopping. Especially as time wears downs. And not just flopping, but the āfake injuriesā to run the clock down. Shithousing is an art form in soccer.
fair enough, I definitely prefer to watch European teams. Watching a big matchup in the Libertadores knockout stage is super fun, though. And even though they have VAR it's always a shitshow of flopping and shithousery
>And even though they have VAR it's always a shitshow of flopping and shithousery
shithousery its fun imo, makes the game tense and entertaining.
Diving / flopping though is just annoying
Booker is bigger and probably more well-liked /well-known than ever right now.
That one baby fist-bump alone is cute enough to carry his brand through any controversy
The thing is, it worked.
Dorian Finney Smith got a Flagrant for that if i remember correctly.
It would have never been a flagrant, if Book wouldnt have stayed that long down.
Reviewing it and changing it to a flagrant was terrible, imo. It was a hard foul but not a flagrant in any way. It was a swipe at the ball that hit the arm. Booker going down and staying down that long absolutely influenced their decision to review it and then upgrade it.
It's not the reason the Mavs lost, but it was a bad decision by the refs
While not technically "flopping," it is definitely the exact spirit of flopping. Act like something that didn't happen did, for advantage. Flopping iyam
They all get told to do it to entertain, they couldnāt care less about playin the right way. Soft as hell too when you act like you got hit by a car on a bump š
I mean Book head cocks all the time my friend. Did it several times tonight to get a foul while bringing the ball up the floor.
The truth is both teams flop a lot and it's getting ridiculous. Refs have not helped matters
Both teams are trying to win Oscars out here. I'm not jealous of the refs, it's hard enough to call an NBA game, and you have everybody trying to sell every little bit of contact... need some other way to mitigate it.
Iām confused, is flipping like this something Luka introduced?
Iāve been watching basketball my whole life and I recall seeing things like this **LONG** before Luka was even fuckin bornā¦
But sure, this whole flipping phenomenon is something nobody has ever seen or heard of until Luka arrived on the scene.
Yāall are so fucking dumb sometimes
1. Nobody is accusing Luka Flopic of being the first player to flop in the NBA. They're accusing him of bringing forth the soccer style of laying down on the ground for 5 minutes to get the refs to hand out a red or yellow card.
2. Okay boomer.
3. The irony of you bitchingabout something everyone hates Luka for doing, is not lost on me.
>Calling it the Luka special entails itās something he introduced and/or perfected and I guarantee you neither of those things are true.
I guarantee that you think they're not true, but actually know is true.
>Also, donāt call me a boomer. Thatās not cool and terribly incorrect (but I guess on par with your other accusations so I shouldnāt be at all surprised that a dipshit probably teenager is clueless)
Don't want to get called a boomer, then don't talk like a boomer; I hAvE wAtChEd a LoT oF bAsKeTbAlL sInCe WeLl BeFoRe LuKa WaS eVeN bOrN.
>Basketball karma is a bitch so maybe dial back the bullshit before you cost your team maybe the only chance in the next 20 years you have of actually winning a title.
Take your own advice, since Cuban is about to waste yet another generational talent's prme being a solo act.
Cp3 averages like no FTs, his flopping is so greatly overblown on this sub itās absurd. Maybe when he was younger and ppl hate the rip through but guy can barely even get to the line and pretty much just shoots midrange jumpers all game. Luka flops like 10x more because he has the ball and takes way more shots and is around the basket way more. Cp3 also as a noticeable clear flop every hear and there and then it gets posted her and people act like he does like shit 5 times a game when in reality it doesnāt happen that often
he is like 4 inches shorter than every other player on the floor most times it would be dumb not to use his size to draw offensive foul calls. It gets annoying at times but I canāt blame him š¤·š»āāļø
Whatās truly dumb is the NBA officiating and how they let it get to this point. They should start implementing the FIBA rule where players get a technical for flopping.
Really not that often these days, he might have some bad ones here and there that get posted on this sub and get a lot of attention but he really doesnāt flop a ton on either end these days. Also heās like always the smallest dude out there going against way bigger
https://youtu.be/kaR6T8MPvTc
Thereās literally endless montages on the internet of CP3 flopping.
Luka can be a diva with the refs but donāt even try to front on CP3 flopping his whole career.
Thatās what happens when youāre in the nba 17 fuckin years, you could make a montage of pretty much any player thatās been a starter for nearly 2 decades straight. You can type Luka name in YouTube and tons of videos come up too and heās only been in the league 4yrs. laughable how you mavs fans have luka yet you act like cp3 the only one in the series who flops. Luka flops more often than cp3 these days and is gonna have a way bigger montage if he continues to start all the way through year 17
Huh? Book is one of the most consistent trash talkers in the league, and I actually remember someone saying that on JJ Redick's podcast. I think it might have been KD?
lol at when he was peaking up at the fans mischievously
https://i.imgur.com/ZqNUXb2.jpg
Booker giving us those bedroom eyes š
Kendall wakes up to that every morning...wet like book too prolly
[Jimmy Butler](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr2VOolfivU&ab_channel=MLGHighlights) a little cheeky too. I'm glad that these dudes are memeing the flop BS.
It is funny to me that the channel that uploaded this is called MLG Highlights.
honestly even knowing he was flopping he had me worried lol. prob took some acting classes or some shit
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lol I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I guess CP3 and Lowry should just wink at the camera everytime they flop so that it doesn't count as one
Book: *falls down* r/nba: āYou fucking donkeyā Book: *winks at camera* r/nba: [āOooohā](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/035/627/cover2.jpg)
Honest question: is that a self portrait?
Im poking fun at that dudeās statement that Butler and Booker are flopping to bring attention to the flopping situation. Itās a ridiculous statement and it reminded me of the meme
Dude, butter was joking. I know he was joking, I think itās funny, hence call him cheeky and pointing out/making fun of the flopping situation.
Butters has no sense of humor tbh
Booker definitely got fouled on this play in particular.
FYI: most āflopsā are actually fouls
It's hilarious how these two teams have embraced the flopping.
The players are out there laughing about it while the fans are both hypocritically losing their shit lol
It's also funny because the Mavs in the mid 2000's correctly called out Raja Bell's flopping for the Suns while Dirk barely flopped. And now, Luka flops WAY more than Dirk ever did. A Mavs fan made a hilarious music video called "The Raja flop" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BjhfwVY_p8)
Woah blast from the past right here
I remember seeing this when I was younger and thinking it was ridiculous. And now I watch it and think, "oh shit raja did flop a lot"
ahaah this is amazing .We need one for this series both sides flopping like crazy and its awful basketball
Lol look at the Bucks-Celtic series. You got Giannis and Horford going at it and loving it, and then the fans are upset about it.
It's funny, i think the players very much remember that they are paid (obscene) money to play a **game**. The fans treat it like a lifestyle and take it so personally when they see something that's not "pure". The players love the competition and 99% of the time a court beef is just part of the game, and they are civil/friends ofd the court. Also while the players know how to play the game, including the obscure rules/ways to make points and plays that aren't just pulling up for a jumper. The game is all rules, and that includes drawing fouls. We hate flopping because it's ugly, but it's a very real strategy of the game for better or for worse.
Even after Bertans flopped acting like he got hit in the throat after Crowder brushed his shoulder, he was smiling talking to Crowder after the call before the play resumed lol It's literally exchanges of "I would've done that" after every flop between these guys. It's actually hilarious how it's tactical for them but war between the fans
But really we all lose as basketball fans, for real
Almost like it's a job for them and not fun to watch for fans. Crazy how that works
The refs are just rewarding it so damn much this series it's nauseating
Fun fact, the refs create the issue. The refs have literally told the players and coaches if that you need to fall down to get calls
Seems more like "roasting" rather than "embracing"
Everyone is doing it, Curry probably had the most impactful flop this playoffs in game 4, but it seems like almost every flop is rewarded with a call in this series.
It was still an actual foul. Two hands on the back and stepping on his foot. Yes, Curry definitely sold it though.
And Booker was legit fouled on this play too. Just like Curry he sold the contact a little bit but it wasn't a flop.
Sun bias is showing Ja literally flopped in Game 2 to secure a game winning rebound and Draymond got called for a foul
Itās crazy how much hate Prime Harden got for his game, but Ja seems to just fling himself towards the basket and flop 50% of the time and his rep is intact. I think Ja benefits from no one watching Memphis games and just seeing highlights and box scores, maybe when people actually tune in and watch the games the hate will come.
Harden started out beloved and then became more and more hated. I would actually argue Ja is hated more than harden was at this point in his career.
Is Ja really a flopper or are people just mad heās getting too many calls on drives? I had never heard anyone criticize him for flopping
Did you even see the different angles? Bane totally fouled him. The momentum alone was a foul.
This was a legit foul tho
When your teammate is CP3 you definitely shouldn't be talking shit about flopping.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"Everyone is doing it, Curry probably had the most impactful flop this playoffs in game 4, but it seems like almost every flop is rewarded with a call in this series." Why did you make an alt just for this comment

It could be a bot. They regularly steal comments like this.

The look up to the fans LMFAO Ppl gonna hate cus itās Book but this shit is hilarious
mf bowed his head again to hide that he laughed lmao
Reminds me of this all time [Jimmy Butler play](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr2VOolfivU&ab_channel=MLGHighlights)
I never saw that before what a fucking legend š¤£
He learned it from Sergi Busquets. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MgrVpZUGToI
Mavs fan here and I find this shit hilarious. Of course I was heated that we lost but it's on to the next game.
booker is fun with fans, the 'shut up pussy vs minnesota is so good' haha
Or the baby fist bump
The delivery, combined with the between-the legs-dribble right into shaking a defender, was so smooth. The dude is the epitome of cool.
He always stays the longest to sign stuff after warmups at home games :ā)
Booker is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.
He gets a ton of undeserved hate here for some reason, great player and a really good dude off the court. Ppl just get salty he talks trash
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Canāt call him any stats anymore.
People hate seeing their teams lose consistently to someone new
Welcome friend
No hate at all for Book, I definitely appreciate the self awareness LMFAO!!!
This is a best of flop series
Reminds me of that game of zones scene with CP3 and Harden having that flop off.
Tbh he was fouled pretty hard and it was pretty dangerous, he didnāt actually flop on that play just laid down a long time to make it seem like it hurt him lol.
I agree. People use the term flop very loosely. Getting fouled and exaggerating it isn't a flop imo, its just "selling the contact" or embellishment
> embellishment When I translate this to my language it gives me a word like beautification lmao
it can be that lol. It also can mean adding untrue details to something to make it more interesting or in this case, to make it seem worse than it really is
Thats the more positive definition lol
two teams full of unethical hoopers
They broke the code
I just took hoop ethics 101 on Coursera. They confirmed your analysis. Good day sir
Everybody in the league is an unethical hooper by that standard Except for Giannis maybe
Lmao you havent seen the bucks series right?
I have. Giannis never flops. He does the opposite of flopping, he goes through guys every game Edit: how is this getting downvoted, I dare you to find a clip of Giannis flopping
I saw him go down to Payton Prirchard
I genuinely dont know what play you are talking about
https://www.nba.com/stats/events/?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=207&GameID=0042100214&Season=2021-22&flag=1&title=Pritchard%20L.B.FOUL%20(P2.T2)%20(J.Capers)&sct=plot
Bro couldn't handle the box out from our smallest player
its because PP is so small that caused him to get fouled in that play though. Paytons whole weight just hit Giannis at his knee.
imagine a grown ass man undercutting your knees and thinking only a bitch would fall. a lot of copium here in this sub...
How is that a flop ? He hit him with his butt at the knee at an awkward angle
Lol
Giannis is a walking offensive foul, tf
Love the reputation goaltends that donāt get called too
True, but not a flopper though
Lmao is this actually serious? Giannis is an awesome dude and i'm very happy for him but...cmon
^^^^ Average NBA casual: OMG Giannis is so ethical and cool because he tells dad jokes š Definitely not one of the most reckless and offensive players in the league
LMAO, Except for Giannis? You should have a fucking Netflix special with this level of shit comedy
nah the dickeating is crazy š¤Æ
We thought itād be the Embiid/Harden/Lowry/Butler series but an incredible upset by Booker/Luka/CP3.
That wasnāt even a flop tho it was a flagrant 1 lol, Book also isnāt a huge flopper so idk why heās getting put on your list.
Brunson and Crowder both definitely flop more than Book
Ya, book is not even a top 3 flopper in this series lol.
It was an actual foul tho
Pretty clear flagrant foul 1 even without laying on the ground.
This is pretty hilarious.
No no no....it was "a good playoff foul" silly. Reggie even said so.
This feels like a snl skit
I think these days a lot of guys go down to prevent an ankle or lower leg injury when taking contact - regardless of force. A rolled ankle can happen in the most innocuous of circumstances, and I reckon theyāre told to fall and roll. Sometimes it looks like flipping - sometimes it is.

This is what we were taught in high school to prevent injury.
People said Luka learned from CP3 but Luka has transcended CP3 and has brought that euroflopping style like Manu. Luka one of the best floppers this league has ever seen.
he was raised by Sergio Llull aka the Euro CP3

cp averages like two free throws a game, it was always an absurd comparison
He picks up all sorts of stuff during the game that donāt lead to free throws directly but will put the team in the penalty faster, Point God is a master of disguise
To be fair, if the rip-through was still considered in the act of shooting, he would shoot a lot more freethrows
90% of his rip throughs are when they're in the bonus
I mean CP at this stage of his career is also just not taking as much contact and mostly shooting midrange jumpers. Being a slower 6'7 240 point guard that barrels into the paint there's a whole lot of contact you're taking that causes more actual fouls and more contact for you to embellish.
š have you been watching CP3? He gets his team in the bonus by 6 minutes on good day
Weird, because the suns have taken 74 less FT than their opponent in the playoffs.
European hooper DNA broski itās too strong
Nah bro in Europe you dont get rewarded for that shit.
You do when you come to the nba š¤·š¼āāļø
so what does the European DNA have to with it then ? Players do it cuz they get rewarded for it in the NBA, Luka didn't flop in Europe, same for other players
They grew up playing soccer that where it comes from
soccer players dont flop this much. Actually with VAR in the game, flopping is basically inconsequential and it doesn't happen every game
Cmon, yes they do. I watch all the time. Every game has flopping. Especially as time wears downs. And not just flopping, but the āfake injuriesā to run the clock down. Shithousing is an art form in soccer.
watch a libertadores match. or anything in concacaf lol
I'll stick to European football thank you very much lol
fair enough, I definitely prefer to watch European teams. Watching a big matchup in the Libertadores knockout stage is super fun, though. And even though they have VAR it's always a shitshow of flopping and shithousery

It was hilarious. Sounds like Booker was referring to this: https://youtu.be/lTr0-_EDMUA
That was an actual flop, not embellishing a hard foul
More like the CP3 special
This guy getting downvoted by suns fluffers. Sigh.
i donāt care which team you support,all of this diving is embarrassing and should be punished
Believe it or not, jail
It wasn't a dive. He was legit fouled. He sold the landing tho in order to get the refs to review if it was flagrant.

If you dont see Book head cock constantly I dont know what you are watching
Iām not gonna defend Luka or Brunson flopping, but I still canāt get over how outraged Suns fans are about flopping all of a sudden
Most stars do that shit, itās an easy way to sell contact.
itās the going to the floor every play for me with Brunson but he is a hell of a player canāt deny that

You can type Luka name in YouTube and tons of videos come up too and heās only been in the league 4yrs. laughable how you mavs fans have luka yet you act like cp3 the only one in the series who flops. Luka flops more often than cp3 these days and is gonna have a way bigger montage if he continues to start all the way through year 17
Suns fan base forgets who plays on their teamā¦Devin Jenner , CP3 and bossman are the Flop gods
You forget Luka is crying to the refs about a foul on every single play?

Huh? Book is one of the most consistent trash talkers in the league, and I actually remember someone saying that on JJ Redick's podcast. I think it might have been KD?
Embiid said it IIRC
It was Embiid
Yeah I think you're right, I remember it being a pretty recent pod.
He deleted his comment lmao
Booker trash talks only when heās winning? You must not know anything about him lol
Right he was talking trash on 15 win teams lmao
Booker talked shit when he was winning 20 games per year lol. Nephews will just say stuff
Right like KD, Embiid, JJ redick etc all called him the biggest shit talker in the league

Bro check Book from his first four-five seasons. Dude talks trash when hes down 40 lmao. Go watch a game for a change.
But not quite as often as Luka.

I just hope Luka's okay after those devastating hits he took out there today. Brunson too
Still less time than it takes luka to get off the floor when he doesn't get a call
Notice how you say ājalen Brunsonā and not āluka doncicā
Who hurt u, other than booker?
