I agree with what Sheed is saying, but just about everybody flops a little, even Sheed? A flop here and there seems to be normal. The problem is with the OFF or Over Flopping Flopper. These are the hardcore flopsters. They are the bane of good basketball. There are well known floppers. You see them flop & reflop throughout games. These guys should be given a warning from the league office to clean it up or they will advise refs to make any questionable or 50/50 call against the serial flopper. Once the flopper sees himself in foul trouble there should be a change in his con artist tactics. Flopping is like perpetuating a fraud. It should be illegal. How about a flagrant flopping call? Two shots and the ball plus the flopper has to wear a sign that says ‘Kick Me if you hate floppers’ with free kicks allowed for the rest of the game.

Taunting, posturing, & most commonplace, riffraff fouls are allowed for some of the nba’s darlings. Not sure how you’re gonna stop that unless you had objective reviews of the refs & their calls.

Sheed reminds me of Barkley. You can see why reporters seek them out. I enjoyed his dunk last game even though he got fouled. I also enjoy just how frustrated the other team gets when he is down there in the paint. I know he gets fouled down there a lot, but he is still making shots & looks pretty slick around the rim. If he would take all of that anger for the ref. & let it loose on the other team, he would be averaging a double double & 1.7 shattered backboards per game.
