Manu was a massive flopper in his hey day too.

Look… if a player can score in bunches in the NBA and shoots 80% or better from the line… they all go figure out ways to get to the line more and more in their career. This will happen with Wemby too. Joker, ANT, SGA… he'll even the white mamba. It's free points and pretty automatic ones when you shoot a high percentage from the line. That's a huge advantage… I'd hope a pro baller was smart enough to cash in on free points.

Hate the game not the player… and also realize it's more or less Analytics 101 in basketball.

I'll also defend Harden some. He flops some for sure but he's more of a foul baiter than a flopper and those are slightly different things

Greatest moment in NBA history? The movable object meets the stoppable force as Manu and Harden together like the Wonder Twins for a joint flop that tears a hole in the space-time continuim.

Thank you for providing something. I've read it once, but want to read it again and digest it some before commenting on it.

SGA is both a flopper and a master of creating legit fouls. Drives me insane

It's one thing to exaggerate a charge or react a little to show the ref you were fouled, it's a whole different deal when it got to James Harden building an entire offense around it and finally SGA who perfected it and falls on over half his shot attempts and has road the flopping stategy all the way to the MVP of the league.

SGA and Harden are 1A and 1B and it's not particularly close to the next closest.

SGA does not build an offense around it. He still scores plenty without the foul calls. He certainly is taking advantage of the way refs are calling the game though.

CP3, Manu, LeBron all were worse in my book than SGA when it was big in the 2000s and early 2010s.

Absolutely not and the facts back it up. SGA is the biggest flopper of all time. Falls on both contact and non contact. FTs per shot attempt, etc. He's the biggest flopper statistically of all time. Manu isn't even top 50.

This is where I'm at as well. Flopping as a primary part of your offensive arsenal is very different than someone that exaggerates to get a legit foul called. Manu was the latter. SGA is the former. And that's what's pathetic.

Btw, Manu gets bonus points for the physical punishment he'd take and not cry about it. Didn't get the el contusion nickname for nothing. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for one of these new era floppers to injure themselves while acting.
