Flopping in the NBA has become an overwhelming problem throughout the league. It truly takes away from the physical nature of the game, and its not just the fans that are noticing.

Star forward Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers has acquired a reputation for flopping  in his short career. After yet another flop in the third quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies, former teammate of Chris Paul, New Orleans guard Jarrett Jack, had this to say on his twitter feed:

 

Hey @nba refs stop falling for Blake flopping

— Jarrett Jack (@Jarrettjack03) May 8, 2012

 

It is very rare to see a player so blatantly call out another guy, but please NBA, listen to Mr. Jack here. Flopping needs to be taken out of the game, in some shape or form.

The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 87-86, the difference a great play by Blake Griffin to end the 2nd quarter. With the Clippers leading by 2 with 2.3 seconds remaining in the 2nd quarter the Grizzlies were taking the ball out underneath the basket. At worst Memphis would go into halftime only down by 2 points, but Griffin had other ideas...

It's not where it needs to be, but it's getting better. The on-court chemistry between Chris Paul and Blake Griffin hasn't reached its full potential, but as the Clippers have gone deeper into the playoffs, the continuity has shown in key moments.

Blake Griffin may be one of the most physical and ferocious players in the NBA, but he’s developing a reputation for being a flopper. Chris Webber played with known flopper Vlade Divac on the Sacramento Kings, and he understands that’s not a reputation a player wants.

Blake Griffin flops. The Los Angeles Clippers flop. NBA players flops. However, there is flopping and then there is FLOPPING.

Individually, Blake Griffin had been having a rough go of things throughout his first three playoff games.  He’d struggled to score in the post, failed to hit from the outside, and contributed heavily to one of the worst free-throwing performances in playoff history.  Still, the Clippers had the advantage in the series, and a strong, 30-point showing from Griffin helped LA...

Charles Barkley discusses Blake the flopper Griffin

Via Crossover Chronicles  |  May 09, 2012
Blake Griffin is a spectacular athlete. He's the greatest pure dunker since Shawn Kemp was a Sonic, his YouTube comedy videos are hilarious, and he's even got me respecting Kia Motors a little bit. His post game isn't quite there yet, but I think it'll come eventually, and he just went for 30 the other night before fouling out. But, he is also a pretty blatant flopper...
