What I asked him is parallel with his mindset of doing what is needed to succeed while both actions (steroids/flopping) is illegal in its sport, is it not?


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?

you need to ask for a name change because having pride associated with you is laughable
Haha, yeh I guess me and everyone else who has played in the NBA have no pride. Anyone who flops doesn't have PRIDE!!!

FLOPPING IS A BITCH MOVE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, FACT.


I'm not saying it isn't. What I am saying is that unless the League gives out real punishments, it is going to happen.

It's the playoffs. I've seen Kevin Garnett slap a dude in the nuts as the guy was in the middle of a jump shot. Talk about a punk move.

Yes, if you have ever committed a foul you have no pride. Look, I am trying to a level headed person. My first post says I am for increasing the fines on flopping. It is however ridiculous to say someone is a bitch or has no pride if they do it.

I think they should increase fines for the regular season, and give out suspensions in the playoffs.

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.

I honestly can only think of one similarity, but that's how these boards work.

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

1 game suspensions in the regular season with 2-3 games suspensions in the post season. That'll really put a stop to it in the playoffs.
