![]() In 2011, Bosh had one of his more memorable (or forgetful) defensive plays against former Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer. Unfortunately, it was a no-call so CP3 had himself quite a shameful few seconds.ġ1-time All-Star Chris Bosh has been known to trend in social media with his crazy meme-worthy highlights both on and off the court. Cousins has been known to lose his temper quite often so Paul was trying his best to earn some cheap points for his team and probably even get the big guy thrown out. In a match-up against the Sacramento Kings, Paul who was still part of the Los Angeles Clippers tried his very best to get into the head of former Kings center DeMarcus Cousins. Seriously, it looked like a 2k glitch.ĬP3 himself was in the wrong side of a flop highlight in 2013. And when Chris Paul trying to settle down the Rockets and set-up a quick pick-and-roll, Curry switched on Paul and the slightest of nudges from Paul sent Curry all the way to the baseline.

Mid-way through the 2011-2012 season, the Grizzlies were facing the Utah Jazz and a young stud named Gordon Hayward which Allen was assigned to stick to like glue. But, along with his impeccable on-ball defense comes a few embarrassing flops here and there. ![]() The former Memphis Grizzlies swingman has been known to be a lockdown defender in his time. ![]() Three-time All-Defensive First Team member Tony Allen of course makes this list. With plays like this, no wonder that Kirilenko was always on Dirk’s nerves. Andrei Kirilenko, being the master flopper that he is, took full advantage of Nowitzki’s sharp elbows and acted his way to draw an offensive foul on the German. Nowitzki was squaring up for what seemed to be one of his signature jump shots at the top of the key as he swung the ball from side to side. In a match-up at home in Utah, Kirilenko produced one of the craziest oscar-winning flops in NBA history. It’s hard not to compete against each other if you’re two lanky and talented ballers from Europe being constantly pitted against each other in the post.
