NBA should review games and if it is determined to be a flop…fine them for every flop the have! Shoot that might hurt Harden’s game though :/ but Harden cant be going to the rim expecting a foul every time and then missing layups and hope the refs bail him out! I got sick of that!

We just can’t seem to get rid of those tools.

Ads on uniforms don’t bother me. Look at NASCAR and almost all types of auto racing, they are filled with advertising and I never hear this type of complaint. Yet complaint abounds about it in American stick and ball sports. The international leagues are filled with ads. Seems OK to me.
The only thing I have wondered about for years is why the hockey helmets aren’t more effectively used to advertise the team or sponsor logo?

But, were there not any rule changes regarding “flopping” in the NBA? Flopping really sucks, too.

In the long run it won’t make any more money for the NBA. Companies will spend what they want on advertising. This will just make the side line ad space cheaper and the jersey space more expensive. We are flooded with ads everywhere already, I spend energy just avoiding ads.
