Flopping in basketball is such a fine line. I know the NBA has created some rules this year to reduce the flopping, although I haven't kept up closely enough to see if they are working. I think Pau Gasol got a soft label when Garnett and the Celtics made him dissappear in the Finals. I think (?) his brother Marc is considered as a more rugged and tough player. Ginobli takes the flopping a bit too far at times but he's actually a pretty tough player. He drives to the basket often, absorbs contact, and plays through injuries.
Marc Gasoline may be able to our energy problems, but wouldn't that be more independence on foreign energy?
