I looked up "Blake Griffin flop" found about 2 pages worth of videos, not including mixes or compilations. You might want to consider how technology has changed over the past few years. You'll find a significantly lower amount of Youtube clips of Duncan as a whole than any modern star like Blake. Flopping has also become more predominant over the past few seasons. With that said, I don't agree that Duncan has flopped much in his career. He complains to referees all the time, but I don't recall him flopping much at all. | ||

Bass looks completely lost though. That is one guy you dont want to move around too much, he has no versatility outside of that stationary midrange shot. I didn't want them to resign Bass but I guess there was no one else for that kind of money But then you think about JR Smith's 2mil contract... | ||

If Duncan is some kind of major flopper, he should have an accumulation of videos over the years, and especially in the past 2-3 years because of the increase in videos and better technology, as you said. If you look up "Manu ginobli flop" there are a multitude of videos ranging from those taking place 5 years ago to a month ago. Same thing with JJ barea. You don't see that with Duncan obviously. And I think somebody's soft when he lies on the ground after every hard "foul" refusing to get up until his teammates help him up. When you see Brook Lopez or Demarcus Cousins getting fouled driving or attacking the basket, you will never see that. But then, I suppose he's not the same time of player hm? Maybe we should just compare him to lebron from now on, he's not "groundbound" Also, does anybody else notice how whenever griffin gets fouled, he'll always grab his head, even if he only gets hit on the arm? EDIT: I suppose I'm being a little too mean towards him. It's just that I played the post in high school after playing the 2 in middle school, and it always kills me when I see a guy with so much athletic talent not play with his back to the basket. I had similar thoughts about Lebron when all he did was drive or shoot mid/long-range jumpers 3-4 years ago, but now that he's posting up more he's dominating. | ||
