Ginobli takes home an Oscar. Pretty good flopper, but also a hell of a player.

its things like this that dissappoint me about the NBA they should be in an unsportsman like conduct type of rule such as the NHL has and in the case of a flopping player the foul would be called on them.

I think you punish yourself by flopping. You're on the ground when you should be guarding your man or being part of a play.
It is annoying though.

Yeah, some of those guys probably get a bruise or two, but if they can get those extra couple of points in crunch time, it's worth it.
