CP3's flop on Cousins wins SI's Flop of the Year

quote:
Paul, who was one of the biggest names singled out in the NBA’s official video introducing its anti-flopping policy, takes home the Flop of the Year with this masterpiece. What sets this apart is the sheer cunning. Paul wisely picks out Cousins, a noted hothead and valuable player, as his target. What better person to flop against than the NBA referees’ least-favorite player? Paul then initiates the contact by lightly touching Cousins before flailing and screaming in a jumping motion that carries him roughly five feet backward. Cousins responds with a classic “get off me” dismissal as play continues. This is the best of the best (or the worst of the worst): thought-out, proactive, ridiculous, funny, shameless and shameful. A worthy winner in every respect.

That's basically what I was trying to say earlier. But I suck at putting my thoughts down in writing, and this guy writes for SI, so pretend I said that.

That Chris Paul flop is just completely ridiculous. I think it's so insane because there was absolutely even no reason to flop there. I get the other flops (faking fouls, etc.) but Paul had no reason to even try to get close to cousins there, then flop after. Hilarious.

If this is true, Chris Paul should be suspended by the end of the 1st quarter of Game 1.

I hate that guy and it sucks that he does that because he is otherwise a great player.

James Harden is entering that category too, but isn't on Paul's level yet.

Nobody will be suspended in the playoffs flopping, unless they get to 5 violations.

Considering they weren't that strict on it during the season, I would be stunned if anyone got to 2 violations, especially a big name like Cliff Paul.
