		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m glad the NBA cracked down on flopping.  Where was this rule when Allen Iverson played?  Now there was nothing but a flopper and a crybaby that the stupid refs protected too much.  I&#039;m glad the NBA is forcing players to act like responsible adults on the court, now if only MLB would clean up it&#039;s act and those phony bench clearing fake fights.  Talk about childish.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You picked some bad examples. 

Gasol&#039;s youtube. Those were fouls. Each one. His arm is being held in both of his shooting fouls. Lets see you try to shoot with two hands when someone is holding one of your arms. It can&#039;t happen. That&#039;s not flopping.

The first play is obvious offensive foul by Garnett. Gasol&#039;s options are to fall on his butt straight down or slide backwards to avoid injury. Either way its a foul and not flopping.

Fisher, a known flopper, you show a piece that he isn&#039;t flopping. Just because you heard it from the announcer doesn&#039;t mean jack. Look at the plays. Fisher didn&#039;t flop on his offensive play. The ref called it. He did a quick layup to avoid the block. On the very next play Fisher&#039;s knee collides with Big Baby&#039;s knee. I would be in pain as well. 

Look at the floppers that have had warning&#039;s this year. Those are flops. The phantom touching and brush by&#039;s.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I play a lot of pickup basketball games at the Y and one thing you never see is a grown man hitting the parquet.  I don&#039;t want the NBA to get carried away with the flopping penalties but I WOULD like to see more no-calls when a guy falls to the ground.  Stop rewarding the defenders who stop and allow a slight bump to knock them over.  That&#039;s definitely exaggerating the contact; we should expect 250lb men to be able to stay on their feet.]]></description>

Pau

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjRizobEQig

Fish

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UYIIdrkQfg

Shaq (when he was on the suns, couldnt find the laker footage since im working, he has a history) 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAt2B2iiKiQ

Scottie perfected the art of taking a charge and has 2 back surgeries to prove it. And there others top teams guilty of flopping. (Spurs, Heat, etc) 

The point was you can&#039;t call come somebody down for something when you and your teams have benefitted from the very thing you are chastising.  

I like watching top flight players play. Im not a fan when they feel the need to resort to cheap trickeration to achieve success.]]></description>
