Flopping has been an issue in the NBA for many years.
It’s something the league has attempted to diminish by handing out fines, but the players still do it at times for a competitive advantage, particularly during the playoffs when the stakes are much higher.
What they pull in the NBA is nothing compared to some of the things soccer players do on the field, however. Take these clips, for example:
With U.S.A. playing Ghana on Monday, many around the country were glued to the television. Plenty noticed the extreme flopping of the soccer players while watching, including Phoenix Suns swingman P.J. Tucker:
If soccer players got fined like we do for flopping most of them wouldn’t get a check lol smh — PJ Tucker (@PJTUCKER17) June 17, 2014
