Ok I made the joke but with how late the whistle was I think Bron was chirping at the official on the way down court. So instead of letting it go he decided to call the flop.

I think they just wait until a lull in the game to call it so they don’t interrupt any offensive/defensive possessions

Ok well if they can call it on Bron they should be able to call it on anyone. Now do it

[–] nerdeagle2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (11 children)

This is obviously a flop but how do the refs decide which ones to call and when to call it?

Absolutely a flop, but also I can't belive that's the one they call

[–] Vallerie_09@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If this is a flop then why was Sasha's flopping tech was reverted ?

This makes me moist.

Get your floppin ass up

[–] NoKnowsPose@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a flop. However, I feel like when most people think about flopping and wanting to get flopping out of the game, 80-90% of the time we are thinking about offensive players flopping. Am I wrong with this? The head snaps and arm flails that are still constantly called fouls is what drives me crazy.

If you just don't call fouls on a defensive player that flops, I feel like there is already punishment built in with the fact the the offensive player is open/in a very good position. For offensive players that flop, there is no negative consquence if they don't get the foul that they are trying to bait usually. I snap my head back and continue on if it isn't called. There's no risk which is why it is so prevalent.

I guess my point is that I feel they should be focusing way more on offensive flopping than they have been.

[–] ImperialSympathizer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

100%. Also, if you want to stop flopping on defense, maybe don't require players to fall down like mannequins in order to get a charge call?

[–] PunsNoThanks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely a flop. That being said, my biggest gripe with this rule is that it gives the officials another tool to influence the game.

[–] AppropriateLover007@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Flop merchant finally getting caught!! My dreams have came true

[–] ComfortableDino@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Good for the league.

[–] DrunkenMasterII@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Of all the flops in his career he gets called for this?

He probably only got called because he was complaining about not getting a call in his favour, but that’s even worse. Either it’s a flop and you call it or it’s not and you don’t.

[–] theseustheminotaur@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lebron james gets all the calls right guys?

[–] Not_A_Meme@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

LOL! "Take that boom away!"

[–] ATLsShah@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they’re gonna call this then this happens several times every game. I don’t mind the call. But also be consistent

These refs still suck. Offensive players flopping is more of a problem then defensive ones. It was better a no call.

[–] ColeHoops@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Only time Bron gets a whistle it’s this shit lmao

Late ass call

[–] BowOnly@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So did the entire Pistons Team.

[–] KvxMavs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The nephews on Facebook are gonna go wild with this one.

[–] Reasonable_Bed7858@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

NBA refs are so inconsistent. Should be against the rules with how bad they are with consistent calls.

[–] Poeking@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Okay but why was that whistle so late that the entirety of both teams had already crossed half court?

[–] laz10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] grandelturismo7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Old_Soft_5970@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone know how many of these flopping techs have been called so far this season?

[–] Berns429@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What the hell is happening in professional sports right now… can’t celebrate big plays in the NFL, T’s being handed out like candy in the NBA. Shit is becoming unwatchable
