Now, if you'd finally criticize something locally instead of just generally, you'd get two thumbs up instead of just one. The media portrays flopping as some kind of newer tactic brought to America by those wacky Europeans and some zany goofs from South America. But that segment was filmed over 30 years ago. Where were Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes raised, Sweden? Flopping is never going away, it's here to stay, and I wish David Stern would just shove image where the sun don't shine. Yeah, a hefty five-dollar fine is going to make it all disappear, just like that. Good post, Pat.
