Who are top 5 floppers in the conference finals according to 2012 playoffs only?

I think Battier and Fisher are floppers. Who else?

You have the top 2. Then there's Lebron, Lebron, and Lebron at the 3, 4, and 5 spots.

Manu is both 1 and 2. He's known as floppo for a reason.

**R-Star** · 06-04-2012, 11:22 AM

Manu reinvented flopping ever since he came into the league.

He's really shown players that if you sell it and fly like a grenade just went off, you'll get the call.

If you hate what you see from Lebron and Wade, get mad at Manu first. Its his fault.

That double flop might have been the reason Jerry Sloan retired.

Manu is probably the worst flopper here, Battier actually stands strong and takes charges a lot of the time. I'd say it's Manu/Fish at the top, and basically everybody else except for Tim Duncan.

I'm glad you said this. Let's go the other way with it. Who are the top non-floppers?

Obviously Kobe said publicly he doesn't take charges, but he flops on offense from time to time. Duncan flops on his fade away jumper, but he's just bad at selling it. Can you think of a good player who never flops on offense or defense?

Carmelo is the one of the few "star" players I can think of that does not flop on offense, and the only time he has ever flopped on defense(mainly because he does not play it) is when he acted like he got shot.

Dwight is not a flopper either.

Dwight is a great example. I also don't view DRose as a flopper.

**R-Star** · 06-04-2012, 12:05 PM

Never really known the Pacers to flop much. Hansbrough looks like he is sometimes, but I think part of it is him taking a beating out there.

He always does herky jerky moves and snaps his head back to try and draw fouls.

Rose? I don't think of him as a "head snap back" kind of guy.

What about Tyson Chandler? I don't see him as much of a flopper, either.

I think he meant Dwight. I've never seen Rose look like hes flopping.
