Marcus Smart and LeBronie are Screwed.

These two rule changes are coming to the NBA in 2023-24

NBA games are going to look a little bit different next season.

The in-game flopping penalty, which is in effect on a one-year trial basis, gives officials the ability to penalize players for a "physical act that reasonably appears to be intended to cause the officials to call a foul on another player" with a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul, the league explains. An official does not need to stop live play to call a flopping violation and can do so at the "next neutral opportunity," per the NBA. The result of the violation is one free throw for the opposing team.

I'm not a fan of hearing LeBron everytime he drives the paint asking for a foul instead of just being more aggressive.

But I think this hurts Jokic's game as he always is flopping.

The golden era for me was the 90's and the early 2000's.

like Tatum. Instead of getting back on D, he complains about a non foul call.

I think flopping and winning to get a foul shot or two has spoiled the game and will continue to do so and will degrade the true talent it must stop. Give the extra shot refs

BTW I don't think this is done by a minority of players I think it is done by the majority.
