On the original topic - ALL NBA plaers learn how to flop and flail early on in their careers. Watch Ginobli...watch Kobe...watch any of them for crying out loud. It's ridiculous...

And wtf is a "hard double team"??? The announcers on these games keep talking about that...I assume it's when someone else jumps out on the ball-handler and beats the crap out of him, but I'm not sure.

And has anyone watched the man-handling that goes on when someone is going out to se the "high pick and roll" play (another announcer line)?? Might as well put pads and helmets on them and call it football...

You're correct it was right in front of Brothers yet Kirilenko is between Brothers and Scola, not the best of angles. As Jurassic alluded to, I don't know what's a foul and what isn't anymore.
