I can remember Arvydas Sabonis against Shaq & Vlade Divacs against Shaq. I know David robinson did it a few times too. I always found it interesting that these 250 lb centers fall to the floor that easily. It was hillarious watching it back then. James Posey does it a lot too nowadays and it gets really annoying.

Vlade Divac should be in the flopping hall of fame, but then you would also have to induct all the officials as well, who routinely fell for his ridiculous performances. I remember little John Stockton ran into him once in a playoff game, trying to set a screen, and Divac fell to the court as if he'd just been shot with an elephant gun.

Dennis Rodman comes to mind as the best of all time. Funny how he could always get defensive rebounding position by pushing the guys around under the basket but was knocked on his backside when John Stockton came over a pick.
The best in the game right now might be Manu Ginobili.

Vlade by far. When he was with the Kings and they had the big rivalry with the Lakers, my friends and I called it the Vlade Flop. Everytime they played and Shaq would barely touch him, you almost always saw the Vlade Flop. It was hilarious.

Yes Vlade was one of the best but I think Sam Cassell is the worst you can be 10 feet away from him and he'll fall.Oh and Manu Ginobili.

Vlade Divac is one of the originators. It was probably the biggest part of his game at one point.

Vlade is the only non-actor to get nominated for an Oscar. Flop City.

Jeoff Petrie of the Portland Trailblazers was the greatest flopper of all time......ever. In 1977, if a player even dribbled his way, he be on his back. But, the players caught up with his junk in 1978....the best example was when Dr. J dribbled straight at JP as if to tomahawk dunk...he stopped dead about five feet from JP, flop there he was flat on the court....Ref's whistled the Dr.......the crowd and the Sixers coach when ballistic......Doc did it again a few minutes later, but this time he slowed up and backed to the basket....JP comes up to him to hand check him, then Doc made a sudden move to call time out, the jig was up.....Petrie flopps backwards absolutely no contact. Ref's didn't know what to do. They didn't charge Philly with a time out and gave sixers ball out of bounds under thier basket. The following year they started to call flopping a delay of game.

Vlade than Rodman, they could have acted on a soap opera.
