Flopping has become a profession in the basketball ranks - and is spreading to other sports.

Post the best performances here - maybe they can create a category for this at the ESPYs.

Rajon Rondo - 27 sec into video




This is my favorite from last year - synchronized flopping

This year they are supposed to be doling out fines after games on floppers.

Anybody heard anymore about this? I know they hit a couple guys with fines and after the first 3 I think the amount of the fine is at the leagues discretion.

Here were the results of a player poll a couple years back:
Player poll rates notorious floppers as NBA’s top floppers - Ball Don't Lie - NBA*Blog - Yahoo! Sports

No surprise most of them come from soccer-dominated countries, where flopping is an artform.

I have always loved the OKC synchronized double flop. Classic.

Vlade Divac Flopping Academy: Endorsed by 4-Time Champion Spurs

"You know, a lot of people ask me, how do we do it? Four championships in nine years? Not everyone realizes that our team goes through a rigorous off season program where we are able to perfect the flop," said Spurs Coach Greg Popovich.

...
"Everybody wants an edge these days. Just imagine the advantage of flopping. Who wouldn't rather shoot from the free throw line, who wouldn't want the other team's best player fouling out," said Vlade Divac.

"Vlade's techniques are the best, being a foreign player I was taught flopping at a young age but nothing like this. If you want to raise your flopping to a new level, there is nowhere to go but here," said Manu Ginobili.
