Put the video in fast motion. It's just a reaction, not a flop. This whole attack the athlete meme we got going on this board is tiresome. You never see anything positive.
I get your point, but you picked one of the worst players to trumpet the cause. His own peers don't seem to care much for his antics either. Shoot, I'm not sure guys on his own team like him that much. Not with him breaking his own hand and leaving them shorthanded.
The faux tough guy thing and flopping is pretty old at this point. Having said all that, he sure is a heck of a talent. Getting better as a playmaker! As a true Power Forward. Not a stretch four or physical freak like LeBron who plays like four positions (well, three, PG, SF, and PF, he can't shoot well enough to be a 2, but he can defend that spot as well), but a true PF looking like a playmaker! A big man like Chris Webber at the four, or Vlade at the 5 dropping dimes. I think he would be a better fit with the Cavs. Make the trade already!
He's the best person to pick at this moment.
Trade him for who? He's a lottery pick. Clippers can't get value for him. I do think the Clippers play better without him. Jordan, who has a much more limited repertoire is stifled when Griffin is on the floor. When Jordan can do his job of clogging the middle, blocking shots and dunking, the Clippers flow faster and more fluidly. This is why Chris Paul isn't as effective. So far the Clippers are 12 and 5 with Griffin out.
