Lebron Flop GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

it's turned into soccer.    

 

That’s is from 5+ years ago. Adam Silver has been doing as much as he can to get flopping like that out of the game. If you flop now you can expect a fine to be coming your way in the next few days. 
 

Players will do whatever  they can to gain a competitive advantage over another team. Just like in the NFL. There is no consistency with things like pass interference and holding. Hell if NFL players are starting to flop to get calls. It happens at least once a game now where a receiver will flail his arms and fall down mid route trying to get a PI call after the slightest contact.

Sure, it happens some. But watch basketball in comparison. A defender is brushed by a driving offensive player and they act like they got hit by a freight train. Drive and flail has become an actual offensive strategy. Just drive to the basket and if anyone attempts to defend just flail like you got hit by a taser and shoot FTs. It's complete bullshit.

The hating on basketball is a constant moving of the goal post exercise...

This and it isn't a new development. This has been a trend for at least 20 years. I think a lot of younger fans don't see it because it's all they've ever known.

David Stern wanted to change the image of the NBA in the early 2000s after the malice in the palace incident. Fights on the court were nearly a nightly occurrence up to that point.

Both the NBA and NFL have made major changes to their rules in the name of player safety that you could argue are making the leagues “soft”.

No doubt about that. I understand it from the NFL's perspective. Football is a brutal sport even with the rules emphasizing player protection.

All of the acting in basketball detracts from the game IMO and makes it difficult to officiate (coming from a former basketball ref). When you have guys comically flopping and flailing all over the place, it makes it kind of desensitizes you to make it harder to recognize fouls where the player is actually trying to play through the illegal contact.

It has become more soft in the name of player safety taking constant advantage of the spirit of the rule is a lack of competitive integrity.

Run a post route and if the DB gets to close to you flail your arms up and wait for that yellow flag to get thrown.

Both leagues have this problem because they are making harder to play defense in the name of safety. 
 

One league is actively trying to find a way to combat the issue. The other seems to be getting worse year after year.

      Duffy:  (Scheme fit)  Player Summary: This fifth year Tackle will be looking to start for his third full season. He has a thick base, and a tight yet chunky midsection, carrying more of a Guards frame. He plays with a fast twitch using his quick feet, making him quick off the snap, fast to the 2nd level, showing good recovery potential. His foot movement bolsters his sturdy lower body which he uses to drive defenders out of their gaps or effectively turn them, as well as stalemating some of the stronger lineman. Additionally, it allows him to quickly arrive and seal a pull or trap. On second level blocks he is dangerous, once he lays his body on the defender, they are rendered ineffective. In zone blocks, he quickly crosses the defenders’ shoulders and can kick out with relative ease. Christian plays with fire and pride in pass pro, competing hard to the whistle. He possesses a solid Anchor that holds up when he is out maneuvered and stands firm against bull rushes holding up with formidable leverage.   His slow turn ability in pass pro, allows rushers to arc to the QB. This also affects blitzers or delayed rushers coming from either side as he struggles to pick up the second rusher, opening a quick path to the backfield. He struggles to adjust to defenders throughout the game, causing mistakes to constantly repeat. His biggest weakness is with UOH, and wide hand placement. This affects EVERY facet of his game. On run plays and screens, while he is quick to the defender and provides a successful initial pop, it is often negated by his ability to maintain the block, allowing LB’s to fight off blocks before the ball carrier arrives. In pass pro, he is a decently executed move away from giving up his outside shoulder exposing a short path to the QB, and loss of the ability to mirror.  Scheme Fit: Zone Scheme with quick passes in an RPO/Possession, or heavy run Offense   Dyson Jr. (small school sleeper)

      That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over.  I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.
