Ok so this is has been going on for far too long. I remember being young and watching Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman flop all over the place helping the Bulls to NBA Championships. Now we have modern day floppers like Manu Ginobili, Raja Bell, and Dirk Nowitzki.

Well finally, after all these years the NBA is finally cracking down on the constant flopping. They've announced that they will be imposing fines on theatrical floppers. THANK YOU!! Starting next year they will have everyone on the lookout:

The league office has yet to determine exact fine amounts for offending flops and how fines might escalate for repeat offenders, but in-game arena observers and video reviewers will be instructed to report instances of theatrical flopping for potential punishment as part of postgame reports on officiating and other matters.

I don't know what took them so long but at least they're doing it now.
