Bogdan Bogdanovic, the Los Angeles Clippers guard, has a suggestion to stop NBA flopping. He thinks the best way to penalize flopping is to eject erring players from the game. Bogdanovic proposes a radical new rule, suggesting a red card system to eject players who flop to get an advantage on a play. The red card system is associated with soccer, where referees use yellow and red cards to enforce penalties on players who violate game rules. If a player earns two yellow cards in a single game, they are automatically ejected. Meanwhile, a red card is issued for more serious offenses and warrants an immediate ejection for the erring player. If Bogdanovic's proposal is adopted, players who are found guilty of flopping will be sent off the court. But that's not it. In football, once a player is ejected with a red card, the team cannot replace him on the field, resulting in a one-man disadvantage. Bogi did not say whether the game would resume as a 5-4 contest the rest of the way. But if we want to punish floppers and consenting teams, that would be the ideal way to do it. However, it would be awkward to see an NBA game played 5-on-4, so maybe he was just talking about ejecting the flopper. The mantle was later passed to James Harden when he starred in Houston, and now fans are calling Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the new poster boy for flopping. But not only is Shai the new 'foul merchant', but his Oklahoma City Thunder teammates are following his lead as well. That was on full display in Game 2 of the Thunder's second-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Suddenly, the flopping problem has gone from bad to worse. Flopping has existed in the NBA longer than today's generation of basketball fans realize. Back in the 80s and 90s, even one of the greatest defensive players of all-time, Dennis Rodman, used theatrical falls to sell offensive foul calls. Chris Paul is another Hall of Famer who is a top-tier flopper and an elite foul salesman.
