The NBA has announced that they will begin issuing fines to players who flop next season.

What kind of world are we living in when a 7 foot giant can’t viciously hurl himself to the floor after being lightly brushed by an opponent? Is there no justice left in this country?

NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson confirmed the new policy Wednesday night saying: “What was clearly expressed to the committee is that we would begin imposing fines next season for the most egregious type of flops. When players are taking a dive, for lack of a better term.”

Because a precise penalty system has not yet been structured, it is not yet known whether serial floppers will be subject to possible suspensions after a certain number of fines for flopping

I love the term “serial floppers”…. theres a really inappropriate joke I can make right now, but imma let it ride…

This rule is horrible by the way, flopping is an artform and it’s been a part of the game for years. Why change it now?
