Diving?

Do people in the NBA not know there's already a word for this? 74.212.4.132 (talk) 15:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In diving, the front side of the body goes down first, in flopping, the back side goes first so technically they're not the same. --Howard the Duck 17:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is false. 216.37.249.35 (talk) 21:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Floppers

where's the source to all the players listed? whose opinion is that based on? many people have their own opinions. saying this, that section shouldnt exsist. to some people, it leaves out many people. to other people, the people listed dont belong in that list. someone should get rid of that whole section. {..::M@®©™ ::..} (talk) 03:07, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest change from Flop (basketball) to Flop (sports)

Isn't this more than just basketball? After all, the FIFA World Cup has been having problems with flopping this year big time. Ryoga-2003 (talk) 19:12, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely NOT just a defensive practice

IIRC this did originate as a method of drawing charges way back when, but at some point it has also become a very prevalent offensive practice. As such it seems this article needs some MAJOR rewording to address that reality. Unfortunately due to the way most of it is phrased this would be a pretty big edit. I'll see if I can come up with something workable but it doesn't seem like it will be easy. Nemokara (talk) 17:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
