New Anti-Ginobli Rule

NBA cracking down on flopping

"Flops have no place in our game," said in a written statement by Stu Jackson, the NBA's Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations. "They either fool referees into calling undeserved fouls or fool fans into thinking the referees missed a foul call.

For this reason David Stern has decided to make an attempt at eliminating flops in the NBA.

If a player flops in the regular season, he will be hit first with a warning. Then every flop thereafter will cost the player a concurring fine of 5,000$. The fines increase to a lump sum of $30,000 for a fifth flop. I applaud the effort but this is down right ridiculous.

To attempt to decipher rather or not a player faked a fall, and to then attempt make a case that they owe the league money is insane. I am a fan of flopping leaving the league--along with Manu Ginobili and Paul Pierce, but this might not be the proper way to do so.

This is another rule that will cause controversy and player disapproval. Im sure David Stern is not going to lose any sleep over it because it has become way too common for players to go for Emmy awards instead of MVPs. You know flopping is the culture of the NBA when it is now a new move in NBA 2k13.

This shows just how prevalent this flopping epidemic is and it needs to be put to an end. Along with grown men wearing capris.
