With the Oscars coming up, Chris Bosh has to get some serious consideration for the Best Actor Award.
During the third quarter of 93-89 loss to the Chicago Bulls Thursday, Bosh fell to the floor like a sniper victim after "suffering" what appeared to be a slight elbow graze to the nose from Bulls forward Carlos Boozer. It was a flop so bad that all-time flopper great, Vlade Divac probably felt the need to get up and give Bosh his well deserved standing ovation.
After Boozer was called for the offensive foul, Bosh proceeded to roll around the floor for what seemed like an eternity, as Bulls fans delivered an echoing onslaught of boos after watching the replay.
But the the flop wasn't the most embarrassing part of the night for Bosh.
In a night that might be remembered as perhaps his worst game as a professional, Bosh shot an epic 1-of-18 from the field, uncharacteristically missing wide open jumpers and point blank lay ups that made Heat fans watch in bewilderment, after becoming so accustomed to watching his nightly consistency.
But the flop was what made this game so memorable for me. I'm sure it's a night Bosh would surely like to forget, but he should find some solace in knowing that if you search "Worst NBA Flops" in YouTube, he's the third video that pops up. That's a lot of hits Chris!
Here's the Bosh video, along with a compilation of some of the worst NBA flops of all time.
