Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton discussed the issue of flopping in the NBA on “The Pat McAfee Show,” asserting that it is being taught as part of player development rather than directly by coaches. He emphasized that players, including Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, often work on drawing fouls, with evidence showing Gilgeous-Alexander fell 51.4% of the time when a foul was called. NBA commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged that while players may embellish contact, as long as they don’t fool the referees, it’s acceptable in the game. Concerns about flopping continue to be a prominent topic in the league.
