That's all that needs to be said. I am sick of players trying to jump in the lane to get a charge when all they need to do is play d.Originally Posted by tupac003

Read the article again, it's only for the worst offenses. So, Shaq falling down when a guard half his size runs into him won't get him a fine, but Baron Davis' acting will.
Ref's can't take care of it in game because they don't have the benefit of reviewing every play.
They just need to let more go and have a little common sense. Calling less personal and technical fouls would go further in solving this problem. Let these guys play the way they did in the '80s.

You don't send your kid to military camp the first time he or she steals another kid's Legos in kindergarten. You start small, and adjust from there.
So I'll take it, because it's a start.
With that being said, if the league continues to crack down on this, the following players should probably consider retirement:
- Ginobili (named first for a reason)
- D-Fish (named second to make sure y'all see it)
- Varejao
- D-Wade (sorry, WILLINC; your boy is a culprit)
- Bowen
- the Utah Jazz (I saw your comment, Verdykt.)
- Nash
- Raja
- Chauncey
- Rip
- Sasha Vujacic (I don't see him as that bad of an offender, but I see him getting worst and worst each week)
Add Iverson to that list.
is AI an exaggerater? yeah. flopper? no. we're talking true FLOPPERS here.

say Manu has a game-winning flop tonight to give the Spurs the ball and seal up the game. you don't think the Spurs would pay that %$*% out of pocket?
he most likely has nothing to worry about. as long as the organizations see the drawing of fouls as beneficial to the team, they will take care of anyone that does it.
