Lakers and Kobe

When in football would flopping benefit a team? I can only think of two players that would do it (QB's and K's). To be honest flopping in basketball isn't as bad as it used to now that Vlade Divac is out of the league. It's mostly euro players that do it anyway and after watching the World Cup a few times you see where they pick it up from.

What you just said, when a QB or Kicker does it and gets a 15 yard penalty when they have NO business acting like they got knocked to the ground. I just hate it when it happens in basketball and football(basketball is the worst though). Refs need to do a better job of separating the real from the fake/acting.

I don't watch soccer and if that is the case that's one more reason for me not to.
