Nicolas Batum's crotch-shot on a Spaniard

Only a p***y goes after another mans balls, if he had a problem then hit him like a man

 

it doesn't look like that to me. he falls on the floor horizontally. he was tackled by turiaf with a frustration foul (dying seconds or minutes ). normally when you flop, you go down from vertical to horizontal. in this case, as i saw it, fernandez goes horizontal on the air due to the tackle. this frustration foul by batum follows.

 

Batum wasn't even intentionally going for the groin area. He was going for the basketball, but Narvarro leaned in just when Batum threw the punch.

 

awesome!

 

you're crazy. his hand was in the fist the whole time. you don't go for the ball with a fist.

 

He was watching Chris Paul college footage before the game.

 

Batum has solved the flopping crisis. All David Stern has to do is allow an opposing team a free shot at a player's nuts every time a ref calls a purposeful flop in game. That will clear that **** up right quick.

Of course, the players has to HAVE nuts for that threat to work, so Ginobilli is out.

 

Narvarro Balls punched Batum's Hand

 

Found it! GG Batum, GG.

 

so european lol

 

i see no problem with it. I hate floppers, and because it's not penalized i think players have to send a message.

Flopping should be penalized.

 

They do.


Of course Batum's action is unacceptable, but to be completely honest, I can understand why he did it. Anyone claiming that Rudy's flop wasn't a flop should have his eyes checked out.

 

That looks like "You f'd up"

When did he say this? Right before ? And to whom?

 

it has the word 'flop' for sure. 'you don't flop'? lol

 

oddly enough your statement works even with the edit I just made :grin:

 

BTW, I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but I woulda done the same thing jut because I hate people who pull that flopping crap. If I felt someone was flopping and we was in a heated battle, I woulda lost my cool and started submarining every single one of them. Cant call a flagarant on me for being too slow, meanwhile they can wind up landing on their necks. Message served.

 

I saw it as "I'll F--- You Up"

 

Batum said it was in retaliation for Spain's flopping. I can't really blame him. I've always wanted to knock someone out for flopping, especially in a pickup game...
