    Honestly there should be a flopping warning/fine every night if it was enforced properly.

    Nick Young
    Hairston

    Of course they have their own rules -- it's a sports league.

    They're just going to pretend Lance Stephenson never happened?

    This exactly.

    How many times has Curry done something like that and got a call?

    Even then, those types of flops aren't even that bad. The ones that the NBA needs to stop are the flops smaller players do when they get posted up by bigger players.

    For future reference, this is your official source for flopping and suspension news. As mentioned above, far from the only one this month.

    Although this month's were not egregious flops, I am glad they're trying to clean up guys automatically going to the floor on every contested jumper - though it's a problem of their own design via the way they've called that play the last several years under the auspices of protecting the shooter.

    ^^ that's not flopping. He tried valiantly to get up, but he was still in major pain from the trip.

    Harden wouldnt be able to pay his fines without a huge pay raise then.

    The only "flopping" Harden has done this season is a slight head jolt when he feels contact. All superstars do that.
