It's weird. They seem to be calling flops on defenders more often than anything.

In general, it's the blatant flopping by offensive players that gets fans up in arm. Why aren't they calling that?

Exactly. The head jerks when players drive and aren’t touched are the ones that drive me insane. LeBron flopping here is a disadvantage to himself.

I don't think there's a definitive list, but these are the 8 in-game flopping techs I know of:

  • Brunson - offensive
  • Thanasis - defensive (off ball)
  • Oubre - offensive
  • LeBron - defensive
  • Porzingis - loose ball (offensive rebound)
  • Ziaire - defensive (can't find video, but from twitter comments)
  • Dort - defensive (off ball)
  • Garland - defensive (off ball)
