The Kobe quotes are getting better and better with age.
Today, Kobe gives his thoughts on Flopping in the NBA.
“There’s a difference [between taking a charge and flopping]. We all know what flopping is when we see it,” Bryant said. “The stuff that you see is where guys aren’t really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water. That’s kind of like, where are your balls at?”
Kobe whines a lot and gives death stares when calls don’t go his way, but he isn’t known as a flopper.
The reason players flop is because refs call the fouls, so they only way it will stop is when refs stop making it an advantage to flopper.
