The NBA has been Punk'd

If Ashton Kutcher (I'm not referring to Utah Jazz's Kyle Korver) were an NBA player he would battle Vlade Divac for the NBA's greatest flopper award. That is how impressive the flop has become. It has gained so much airtime that it might as well be a MTV afternoon show.

The NBA has its hands full as it tries to get rid of flopping in the NBA. If MTV can't get rid of the god awful Punk'd series, how does the NBA think it can get rid of flopping? It is too much of a judgment call for referees. NBA fouls should be black or white not gray. Think of the controversy if BSlim's favorite ref, Joey Crawford, who already missed an obvious foul of Derek Fisher on Brent Bary in the closing seconds of Game 4, missed making a flop call. That could start a civil war between Texas and California.

So does the League undermine the calls of its refs? Does fining a player a few dollars out of their pocket really change the game?
Something should be done, but just like canceling MTV's Punk'd series, it seems impossible.

NBA, you've been Flop'd.
