all gamethis is stupid.
if the defense flops, let the game keep going and its now 4 on 5...or call a block.
if the offense flops, let the defense pick the ball up and score.
if they flop on the out of bounds play...keep counting the 5 seconds.
the answer is to make the officials recognize and stop rewarding flops, not to punish a benign move thats taught in little dribblers and AAU. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TRY TO GET THE CALL.
@ the gifsSpoken like someone who has never reffed a game.

i reffed intermurals in college
but i'm not sure how this matters. the NBA refs are professionals. as such, we should expect them to be able to make judgment calls about flops and not call them. it would just be one of the many judgment calls they make a game. a team gives up a couple free buckets and the flopping will stop.

It's just not that easy at the speed the NBA game is played
