Default PFFF

PFFF

Guys, I need some help. I am trying to track down some NBA players for a list.

I have an inside source (understand that I come from the Sam Smith rule of journalism that inside source means I pulled it out my a@@) that told me about a group that was started a couple of years ago called PFFF (Players Flopping For Fouls). My best understanding of this group is that it is headed up and taught by Vlade Divac (he always was a smart businessman, and figured out how to supplement his and "others" income).

The first graduate and valedictorian of the 1st class was Manu Ginobili. He has become the standard by which all graduates are compared. I am sure their were others -- maybe Darryl Armstrong (I think this is how Mark Cuban found out about it).

The second year valedictorian was DWade. He set a new standard. He adapted the defensive flopping over to the offensive side of the ball and gets the call on both ends now. No need to foul him because he will always end up on the floor. Heck, to promote it for other NBA players they even made a commercial about it. You've seen it -- the one where he says get knocked down 1,000 times, get up 1,001. My understanding is that commercial was to entice a few more NBA players into getting involved.

Now a few players have revolted and want to keep their money. They have come out and made a commercial against this style (without trying to get fined by the league). You've seen it. It it led by Tracy McGrady. It is the "it takes 5 campaign". Tracy nearly messed up and got severly fined by the NBA for admitting the finals were fixed. Now he and others are involved in a commercial telling the world that it takes 5 to win (1 player, David Stern, and 3 officials). The world is slowly but surely starting to understand that it does take 5 to win.

My inside source tell me that Mark Cuban found out about PFFF this last year, and over the summer, he sent Devin Harris. This should ensure that the trophy comes to Dallas this year.

My source didn't know who else had been trained except that the Utah Jazz team seems to have all been sent.

So I need some help: Who else has been to PFFF.

Known information:
PFFF owner/teacher Vlade Divac.
Kickbacks go to David Stern/Officials.

1st year valedictorian Manu Ginobili
2nd year valedictorian D Wade

Others: Devin Harris
Darryl Armstrong
Utah Jazz (rumored with some inside training from Karl Malone)
?????

Officials:
Danny Crawford
Joey Crawford
Violet Palmer
Bennett Salvatore
?????


Who else could possibly be involved with PFFF? ? ?

I thought it was funny. Couldn't think of anyone else who may have been a member, though, so I wasn't able to help.
