The NBA has realized that their games have been a little… um… overly dramatic over the past few years and is going to start fining players who egregiously flop during games next season. Like the Spurs don’t have enough on their minds right now as it is.

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.”

When asked about it, the Pistons’ Rasheed Wallace found plenty of terms to express his views on the flopping situation.

“All that bull(bleep)-ass calls they had out there. With Mike [Callahan] and Kenny [Mauer] — you’ve all seen that (bleep),” Wallace said. “You saw them calls. The cats are flopping all over the floor and they’re calling that (bleep). That (bleep) ain’t basketball out there. It’s all (bleeping) entertainment. You all should know that (bleep). It’s all (bleeping) entertainment.”

Well, it looks like someone found another way to get fined by the league.
