Lately, there has been a lot of talk around NBA about the ‘flopping’ in the league and how or if it should be officiated.  I think discipline of flopping is long overdue.  Some analysts believe if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying; or that it’s part of the game.  I think if you have to cheat to beat me then you can’t really beat me and I didn’t lose. I don’t care what the level or the game.  It’s one thing to tug an opponents shorts or step on his shoe to prevent a rebound but to make it seem like something happened that didn’t and get rewarded that’s just bad character to me.  I don’t know where or with whom it started but I think it’s cowardly and everything possible should be done to punish and get rid of it.
