    Just like the last 2 times we played against the Hornets...this dude will fall down if you breathe on him and the refs will call it...He whines all the time and he runs into one of players and fall down like he was shot....That "whooo" that the announcer does after he scores is freakin annoying

    Bullshnock. I could list you 10 better floppers. Paul merely has superstar status like Lebron, Kobe, Wade, and Howard.

    I agree hes up there, for some reason most people don't see it. Like that mutumbo foul, he just kicked his leg out from under himself and just fell down.

    ......no you shall not beat Andrei Floplenko

    Chris Paul's flopping skills can't compare with AK's. You need to foul CP at least a tid bit for his to flop. AK is like flop-ma-tic on demand. He can litterally fly ten feet flopping.

    He's "crafty". Like Sam Cassell, except 10x better. But, yeah, he is a flopper.

    Not only a flopper, but if he falls down with a defender near him they always get the whistle. Not sure if its something vocal he says or what, but that foul on Artest was not a trip, because they showed the top angle and he did not kick out his foot, Paul tripped himself or something....

    The guy is good, dont get me wrong. But he gets babied by the refs WAYYYY too much. That continuation on the shot three steps after the foul was absurd...

    He's just dirty in general. Watch when players set screens against him. He almost always throws an elbow going around the screen.

    Deron's the better basketball player.

    He does flop a whole lot more than people in the media or broadcasting studios realize.

    Tonight when he was driving straight down the lane, RonRon reached in real quick and poked at the ball. CP3 then does a barrel roll onto the ground. I didn't see any contact and the camera angle from the baseline gave a great view of it. I chuckled a bit.

    He doesn't have the reputation as a flopper...but that play was funny.
