Ok. Ill put this back on track. I think that Nash and Bell are cheapshots. However, Bell >> Nash.

There you go.

Flopping on legitimate contact isn't a cheapshot, flopping on minimal contact just to get a call is weak. Raja's done that occasionally and I'd say Nash has as well, but most of the offensive fouls that they draw are legitimate contact. Oberto & Ginobili try to sell minimal contact by flopping and the refs weren't buying it in the last game, although Oberto had been getting some of those calls in the 1st 3 games (like his flop on minimal contact from Amare on the fast break in game 3 that was Amare's 4th foul).

For me a cheapshot is trying to step on people's feet, trip people, slide your foot under someone as they shoot jumpers, kicking people when you know the refs aren't looking, kneeing someone in the crotch, body-checking someone out of bounds, etc.
