This flopping warning system seems random. Has Harden ever gotten a warning? He is hands down the best offensive flopper in the league right now. Maybe GOAT offensive flopper to be honest.

Ironic that Nick gets a warning in a game where Harden had one of the most egregious flops I've seen in a while...so bad, it was a no-call by the refs.

I never saw the replay, what happened? I saw him drive to the basket and go down but I couldn't tell if he was fouled, tripped over his own guy or if he was off balance and hoping for a bailout.

Ginobili and Vlade still hold that title

(but Har'en may surpass them eventually)

I love that the league penalizes flopping, but hate that they do it in a random manner. They have to start doing it consistently for all players or it is really pointless.

The flopping fines are so stupid. Im not saying Nick shouldn't be fined for this but it is clear the NBA picks and chooses who they want to fine and when. If these flopping rules would be legitimately enforced there would be fines after every game. And Jamal Crawford would be suspended multiple times. A random fine here and there changes nothing in the NBA. People are still gonna flop. Especially in the playoffs. Its more of a PR thing than really trying to stop flopping.

So wait, let me get this straight, the League warns Swaggy but ignore Harden, CP3, Blake and Lebron, who flop on a nightly basis? Really? Smh.

Wait a minute....Correct me if I'm wrong, please. But watching the live action and the replay, I swear Korver makes body contact at the hip as he is going by. Now Nick did over act, but did he not hit him in the hip?

Grudge fine for calling the ref a MFer perhaps.
