With the news of team owner Mark Cuban funding a study on "flopping" in sports, Dallas Mavericks' franchise player Dirk Nowitzki recently spoke about the flopping craze that has taken over the NBA in recent years.
“We’re never going to get rid of it,” he said recently. “But you got to limit it. It’s part of sports. It’s part of winning. Some people are smart and do a little extra thing to kind of sell the call. To me, that’s part of sports.
“You don’t want the obvious ones, the really, really bad ones. I think we’d love to get rid of those.
“But if somebody really does get shoved or hit a little bit, just to sell it a little for the referees so it does get the call, I don’t have a problem with that. I think that’s part of the game.”
Dirk's getting a lotta press lately. Didn't he miss the playoffs? Maybe the media's getting the Mavs warmed up for Paul and Howard. I'm still hoping for ATL.
