Above: Oregon junior Dillon “LOL” Brooks reacts to, I don’t know, maybe getting hit in the thigh a little by a Utah player’s arm by hopping backwards and then jumping explosively off one leg onto the ground as if he’d just been shot by a cannonball.
It’s bad, but is it really—as the author of that tweet and other observers have claimed—the worst flop in basketball history?
No. It can’t be the worst flop in basketball history, for one, because Brooks and the Utah player actually did make contact. Watch here as Tony Allen reacts to notbeing elbowed in the face by falling backwards and lying on the ground for several seconds in apparent agony:
