This is the greatest flop of all time

It’s like a low-budget action movie.

There are few things more satisfying in sports than a good flop. We live in a flop-friendly world where we can appreciate the theatrics that go into a good flop, more than we clutch pearls over the sanctity of the game. That said, this is a good flop.

Or is it the greatest flop? It really depends on whether you appreciate believably, or dramatics. This is very low in the believable scale, but I love the over-pronounced action of throwing yourself on the deck like you just got hit by an anime punch.

I score this flop a 10/10. It’s only a 6 for believability, but a 14/10 for drama. Math checks out.
