http://tinyurl.com/lc4clag Dirk Nowitzki has a vested interest in Mark Cuban’s contributions to SMU to fund a research project on flopping. After all, Dirk’s a flopper. Or at least a seller of fouls. He freely admits as much. “We’re never going to get rid of it,” he said recently. “But you got to limit it. It’s part of sports. It’s part of winning. Some people are smart and do a little extra thing to kind of sell the call. To me, that’s part of sports. “You don’t want the obvious ones, the really, really bad ones. I think we’ d love to get rid of those. “But if somebody really does get shoved or hit a little bit, just to sell it a little for the referees so it does get the call, I don’t have a problem with that. I think that’s part of the game.” In other words, Nowitzki is happy to help the referees see what maybe their eyes may have missed in the course of action on the court. Of course, when you oversell it, you get what Chris Bosh got Friday – a $5,000 fine for violating the NBA’s anti-flopping rule. He did that in Game 4 of the Finals on Thursday. Cuban has put up $100,000 to bankroll research to find out the scientific reactions of flopping – sort of like figuring out if a 250-pound dude runs within an inch or two of a 180-pound guy whether it’ll make the smaller player fall down. It’s a little more involved than that. But you get the idea. He wants to get down to whether the kinetics of flopping can help the NBA and referees figure out how to differentiate between a foul and a flop. Nowitzki, meanwhile, wants it known that he’s not a fan of the soccer flop – the art of getting hit with a slight breeze, falling down and acting like you need to have a major limb amputated. “The really obvious ones,” he said, “where you don’t even get hit and then you fall down, we do need to get rid of those.” Dirk認為假摔是比賽的一部份 永遠無法禁止 可是可以限制 有些球員比較聰明可以藉由多做一點動作 賴到犯規 但那種過於明顯的應該要被禁止 另外Cuban投入10萬美金研究假摔 他想知道一個250磅的壯漢 衝到180磅的球員身旁一兩吋 會不會使較瘦小的球員倒下去 Cuban希望藉由研究幫助裁判判斷假摔與犯規的差異 最後Dirk特別說他不愛足球那種假摔 那種連碰都沒碰到就倒的 --
