Flopping

[Rage Against the McKee]

The NBA rules are awful. The only NBA rule that I would like to see in college is the 24 second shot clock.

NBA rules are the absolute best.  Which is why the NBA is so much more fun to watch than the college game.

Nope. The college game is more fun to watch because Kansas State University is a participant. NBA games are fun, too, because the players are so good. The rules are awful, though.

maybe not picked up on tv but students chanted " you're a flopper" for the rest of the game.

picked up extremely well on TV, actually

it was fun to yell.

Found a vine of the Gipson flop: https://vine.co/v/hY1qOvt1Uej

Did Smart also flop when driving against Shane? I didn't see a good replay of that one.

What is it like to have to root for such a Floppy McFlopperson? You have to convince yourself that it's "part of the game" or "smart"? Is that how OKST and European soccer fans justify it?

Smart had clear foul on Gip on the layup Gip made to put us up 5 with about a minute to play.  No call.  5 seconds later markel ran into the back of spradling and shot two.

The most hilarious flop was the one by brown where he threw his head back, lost the ball OB, faked a leg injury then trotted down the court.

I think the better one was when they called the foul on smart after Nash has jumped on Gip's back and then flopped off backwards.  Between brown, smart and Nash that is a very unlikable team.  I would love smart if he played for us though.

You can definitely tell Smart was flopping on that Gipson shove.  His feet flew about 2 feet off the ground.

[#LIFE]

The guy could just be all boss like Marshall Henderson but instead decides to be a pussy/bitch on the court.  He is a chicken crap pussy that needs a good Lu Colon upper cut to see what a flop really is.  I hope Eddie Sutton goes on a bender and T-bones him destroying both of his legs so that he never walks again.  What a rough ridin' bitch.

I don't see a problem with flopping, and I don't see a problem with fans calling out floppers for being bitches

[sunny_cat]

I hate when people have full conversations about flopping. The flopper chant we chanted at Smart was fun though.

I guess the NBA is even less popular than I originally had thought since no one will answer my rules questions.

sorry, thought you had google and had already figured it out.

The "this isn't a flop" section really highlights how stupid and arbitrary the rule is IMO.

What about the one free throw thing tho?!?!

What rules are awful?

fines for flops, the widened lane, defensive 3 seconds, no one and ones

The second and third are fine rules. I kind of prefer the old illegal defense, but I like keeping the wide lane as clear as possible. Agree on the first and don't care about the last either way.

NBA is more fun to watch, no doubt. Largely though because most college players are complete crap.
