There were just two NBA games played on Thursday night, and both were nationally televised on TNT. That was bad news for Chris Bosh.

The Heat power forward turned in a rather forgettable 1-for-18 shooting night. Five of those shots were in the paint, too, which is always a fun place to miss from when you're 6-foot-11.

But a bad shooting night is one thing. An embarrassing flop is a horse of a different color.


OK, look. Pretending you got elbowed in the face is one thing. It is, unfortunately, a part of the game. However, lying on the ground, grabbing your face like you just got your nose busted? Come on. Get up. That's as bad as Derek Jeter's elbow agony in Tampa last year and almost as bad as that soccer player who punched himself in the face.



Actually, let's put it to a vote. Below are Jeter's antics and that soccer player's dive for the ages. Vote for which flop was worse.

Jeter:


Unnamed soccer player (por favor!):
