NBA: 4 Things that are degrading its legacy 

#3 Flopping

The greatest player: A flop artist as well?

Ah! Here comes the root of a lot of problems. Flopping is something that has just sneaked into this generation of sport-persons.

My basic premise about flopping is that it unruly, unsportsmanlike conduct and it has no place in this popular association.

But again, it just becomes a vicious cycle of referees not noticing the fouls, hence players having to sell the fouls happening on them to get them called.

The more they try to sell, the more they start flopping, and this never stops. A perfect instance of this is how any player nowadays tries to dramatically look for even a slight hint of contact after shooting the ball to fall theatrically and get a free shot.

This practice has to be curbed if the NBA doesn't want to ruin its legacy and culture. It's a two-way street.

Starting from referees to the NBA commissioner and to the players, everyone has to do their part to keep this game fair and competitive at the same time.
