Anybody else notice that soccer is ruining the NBA?
World-wide, other countries have produced very pansy athletes. It is evidenced mostly in soccer. They dive, flop, whine, flail their arms when people rub against them, just looking for the ref to make a call.
So now, look at the NBA. In recent years, there has been a severe influx in players from foreign countries. And if you watch those players and how they play, the look EXACTLY like soccer players.
Fabricio Oberto – flops and flails the whole game.
Luis Scola – flops and flails with the best of them.
Raja Bell – rewrote the book on flopping.
Vlade Divac – glad he’s gone.
Manu Ginobili – love his energy, but the flailing is pathetic.
And it goes on and on. I mean, back in the days when the NBA was a true league of warriors and men that held their ground, there was one big flopper – Bill Laimbeer. And he was world-famous and infamous for it.
Now it is almost accepted – i think it is going to kill the league, as we know it. Get rid of the “soccer” floppers!
I really think the NBA is ruining the NBA. Too many crooks playing, calling the game, etc. Too much money, too fast,
and no integrity, or morals to make them behave like the icons they’re supposed to be. There are some “floppers” in soccer – but that’s another story.
never thought of it that way but you bring up some valid points. it seems like the players are always looking for the call.,and some of them get very upset when they don’t get it.
Flopping is NOT new to the NBA. Have you heard of Reggie Miller and Richard Jefferson? First of all, I’m not even going to recount Reggie Miller’s flops and Jefferson once got knocked over by a fifteen pound Tayshaun Prince, which by the laws of physics, is nearly impossible.
I agree. Good analysis. Floppers need to get out of the sport. Divac was the best at it in the day. He bascially started the flopping revolution. The should go back to soccer and stay out of basketball!! Either that or the other team should shoot a technical FT to make up for it.
Yeah I know what you mean. I personally hate the charge rule in the Nba, Of course it has to be included but you see so often that when smaller players are matched up vs bigs, they tend to dive to the deck at the moment of slightest impact
One thing is clear, you don’t like soccer. How that relates to your question remains unclear. Maybe you don’t like other countries playing your game?
NIce tights BTW.
This question, along with the asker, is too stupid to warrant an intelligent answer.
We can’t argue with Dr. McDipsh*t, since he’s using scientific evidence and all.
Speaking of flopping and flailing, can you please put some pants on your avatar?
awwwww are u jealous the world is playing the game of soccer. its ok lighten up. hey lets check out those boring 10,000 nba fans. i like the nets though. they cool
I’d rather see athletes flop and whine than watching them take steroids ala baseball football.
they’re not doing it becuase they are pansies. they are doing it to get the call.
