Charlotte Hornets player P.J. Hairston committed what's being called the worst flop in NBA history in his team's 98-93 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
Early in the fourth quarter, Hairston slid to his right to defend a driving Tony Parker. When Parker grazed him, Hairston hesitated for a moment, and then sent himself pinwheeling to the floor. He ended up on sliding into Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
