Anyone else here sick of the "flopping" in NBA?

I understand players want to "draw the foul" but seriously, does anyone else notice how dramatic players are in the NBA when they "fall down"? I meant they get the slightest nudge and they go tumbling down like a redwood. I think its gotten to the point were players don't just dramatize their fall, I think they fall down on purpose just to get a foul called, thats the worst. The funny thing is you can tell they want to dramatize the fall because they never make any effort to step back or put a hand down to catch their balance, they just fall flat on their back and lie there like a corpse. I'm not pointing fingers at any individual teams cause they all seem to do it. Watch any NBA game, not even just a playoff one. At the end of every play the court is littered with bodies, it looks like a war zone, haha. I just had to get that off my chest, it drives me nuts. I wish there was a way to stop it, but there is no plausible way of penalizing someone because the ref thinks he is falling on purpose. Unfortunately, I think it has become part of the game. Anyone else notice/get annoyed by this?

That was pathetic. Dirk has the talent to be one of the greatest, but he is possibly the biggest pussy to play te game in this century(20th). Not only the flopping, but the super soft style

Seriously, this is the worst flop in the history of the NBA. Freakin' Baron Davis looked worse than a futbol player here with his pathetic flop.





Here's another one

Truth be told, it didn't look like Horry did anything at all and West went down. I think it's just that West is weaksauce....seriously. He's supposedly injured now too.

The NBA is nothing but flops and fouls. You can thank David Stern for that becasue he is the one who wanted to make the game more "fan friendly" and eliminated defense. Seriously, the only defense allowed these days is a guy standing in front of someone with his hands up. Any contact is a foul and a hard foul is now a flagrant foul.
