As the joke has already gone, "It's okay you had the worst shooting night in Heat franchise history, you're a lock for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday!"

beerrun		2011-02-25 02:39:15 PM

He's got a big future ahead of him on the Italian soccer team.

I've seen professional wrestlers make a hit look more believable.

I wish the scoreboard operator had access to the Caddyshack clip where Al Czervik gets hit with the ball, waits a couple seconds, and then "Ow. My arm. I think it's broken"

Bosh got the loudest boos of the night after that flop, and deservedly so.

Subby, I appreciate what you tried to do with the headline but as a Kings fan, I have to tell you that Vlade never met a flop he didn't like.

During the playoffs that season we drank for every time Baron Davis fell on the floor. That had us flopping down on the floor in no time.

I freely admitted being a butthurt raps fan. Are you some fervent heat fan? otherwise there's no reason for you to be defending the rupaul of big men.

These jackasses are going to keep turning the NBA into a joke until the league gets serious and starts suspending people for flopping.

I'm a Celts fan, but I don't see the huge flaw in Bosh's game. Hell, look at KG; his blocks are usually coming the weak side, 90% of his offensive game is 15ft away from the basket, and anytime someone even a pound heavier than him is able to get him one-on-one in the blocks, he can back KG down.

That said, it is damn hilarious to watch him play the first month of the season like a pansy and unwilling to assert himself, then swing the other way and assert himself last night into 17 clankers.

Bosh's problem is that he never gets physical. KG may settle for shots everynow and then but he'll still throw some 'bows and secure the middle. Bosh lets guards and forwards have their way in the Heat paint.

derbtastic		2011-02-25 04:07:57 PM

So... are they not going to suspend him or anything? I just don't understand doing that when you know there's going to be video replay from 10 different angles.

A Blue Devil gets called for the foul when a Yellow Jacket flops? It's like the bizarro ACC.

Shoulda had the trainers come check him out, like Derek Jeter did.

Exactly, as soon as the whistle blows and the foul is called, get up, give a troll-face, and get back to playing. They can't 'un-whistle'.

Also, there's a difference between 'taking a charge', 'selling it' and 'flopping'

Jerry 'The King' should color-comment the dunk contest. There's enough props for him to feel at home. Hell, we can even call it a 'Tables, Ladders, and Cars' match.

Oh, the good old days when Jordan would say to Steve Kerr "It's a good thing your dad isn't alive to see you play like a biatch" and Kerr earned Jordan's respect forever by punching him in the face. When men were men.

I hope Jordan's DNA is studied closely. The "need to win" gene is in there in its purist form.

oh snap. you're right. i was about to unleash "LOL THAT'S NOT TRUE JORDAN'S DAD WAS STILL ALIVE DUMBASS" nerdrage but then i realized you're right; Jordan's dad was murdered ~~in a revenge payoff by mobsters angry over Jordan's massive gambling debts which led David Stern to arrange for Jordan's "hiatus" from the NBA and led to Jordan's brief dalliance with the White Sox~~ in 1993 and Kerr became a Bull around 1996 so....cancel nerdrage.

KERR BECAME A BULL IN 1993 SO THERE!!!11 lol

Anyway, yeah. Kwame Brown literally cried about Jordan's "motivational tactics" when MJ would do the same shiat to him in Washington and Steve Kerr became a trusted teammate who Jordan was comfortable passing to for a championship winner against the Jazz in '97. Lovely story.

rickythepenguin		2011-02-25 06:33:50 PM

robsul82: KERR BECAME A BULL IN 1993 SO THERE!!!11 lol

i don't believe you. I will check the googles on the internets.

****

Kerr was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the 1988 NBA Draft, but was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1989. He spent over three seasons (1989 to 1992) there, and then part of the 1992-93 season with the Orlando Magic. In 1993, he signed with the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls made the playoffs in the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons, but without Michael Jordan's presence for all of 1994 and much of 1995, though, they could not advance to the Finals. However, with Jordan back fulltime for the 1995-96 season, the Bulls went an NBA-record 72-10 and defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in the NBA championship.

dammit. YOU WIN THIS TIME, MR BIG BRAIN ROBSUL82 BUT I WILL BE AVENGED.

and thus, my tag might still be appropriate, as Jordan might have uttered his infamous "good thing your pops is dead" blast before his own dad was murdered.

rickythepenguin: and thus, my tag might still be appropriate, as Jordan might have uttered his infamous "good thing your pops is dead" blast before his own dad was murdered.

Nah, Kerr signed for the 1993-94 season and Jordan said it in '95 or '96.

Nope, Kerr signed with the Bulls after Jordan's dad was murdered (murder was in July, Kerr was signed at the end of September, Jordan "retired" a week after Kerr signed)
