Yes, that's what a reflex action looks like (what Embiid and Smart did). There was nothing considered about it.

Wait, you think I hate flopping just because of Smart? Come the **** on, dude. I hate flopping when anyone does it in any sport.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. It's the way basketball is officiated that provides incentive to do so.

I don't "hate him with every fiber" of my being. I don't think I'm capable of hating anyone that much, let alone someone I don't know. I hate his flopping because he's better than that. You just ascribe such emotion to me because you can't fathom how someone doesn't like a player who plays against the spirit of the game regardless of how good he is. So, yeah, **** that guy. I hate him in a sports context. I think he's an immature punk. But lots of kids are, and he's certainly a kid. Outside of that, I don't really give a ****. But being that every discussion about him has been in a sports context, given that we are on a sports message board, I figured that was just obvious. Apparently not.

Fiber of your whole being or not, this does seem to be a fairly sizeable level of hate for an athlete that has done little more to you than beating KU with some flopping and back flips along the way.

No surprise you enjoy watching the antics of a guy who BIT THE OPPOSING PLAYER. IN MORE THAN ONE GAME.
**** Suarez, too. Phenomenal talent, but he's a racist prick to boot. That's far more inexcusable, because his racism runs to the core of who he is at this point in his life.

I have no idea what kind of person he is, but I will say he's a fantastic soccer player. Very entertaining to watch him do things with the ball that few others can.
