So are moving screens, defensive 3 second violations, and goaltending. So, anyone who does this and doesn't get called for it is as bad as a steroid user?

No. Flopping is largely looked down on the most out of anything in basketball. Steroids are largely looked down on the most out of anything in baseball. Both are when the players go the 'bitch' route to game the system to gain an edge, much the the feller in here said anyone who plays competitive sports should do. There are some similarities IMO.

99.99% of basketball players have flopped before. Sorry for rustling your jimmies so much about the competitive sports comment, I meant no harm
