always thought those fade-away shots where the shooter tries a fade away and then pushes his body into the defender’s body was obnoxious. glad to see the NBA trying to deny the foul to the shooter. and the NBA should take a cue from football around the world (ie: soccer) by only allowing two attempt dives and then the player is out of the game. soccer gives a player a yellow card if they pretend to have been fouled and a second yellow card is immediate expulsion.
The latest thing in football is when the other teams offense is moving the ball quickly down the field, a defensive player will fall to the ground and start writhing around. This results in an injury time out which slows the pace of the game and gives the defensive players a chance to rest. The play by play guys usually say in a somewhat sarcastic manner that the player must have cramps.
A foul is easy to call, if a money making star is involve from either side, the foul will always go against the non-star. It’s the money that rules not the game. If it’s two stars, no foul.

The fans are always getting mad. They’re the biggest spoil sports in the world.

IIRC, the NBA has been calling flagrant flops for a few years. But there is still room for improvement.

Basketball should call penalties for faking a foul.
