I hate how our pro athletes in the NBA try to bait those fake foul calls. It's 100% some beta mentality to resort to cheating to win games. It's soft and the league should really bring the hammer down on that nonsense. This is supposed to be the best basketball players in the world...

Hell, that's been an epidemic in the college game for years too. Basketball has started to look like soccer with guys flopping and flailing all over the place begging for a call. It sucks. Guys use to try to finish through contact for a three point play. Now they're flailing when there's no contact at all trying to get to the charity stripe.

I honestly won't be surprised if it starts making it's way to the football field more and more over time. Receivers flopping for DPI.  Pass rushers flailing for a hold. RBs slinging their heads to bait for a facemask. It's probably coming. I never thought basketball would've turned into soccer. I won't be surprised when football does too. The potential reward for players and teams far out weigh the potential risks and that's why this absurd behavior takes hold that makes a joke of the game.

 All this flopping to bait those fake foul calls is getting old and out of hand in college and the pros.

Congrats are in order to Mitch Kupchak! He finally got the last pick in the first round of the NBA draft, he just traded the 13th pick to do so instead of winning NBA championship.
