    Steph fined 5,000 for flop gm 1 western conf. finals

    It maybe a flop maybe not.. you can contest the shot but you can't bump the shooter.. how about Pelicans series when Davis sacked steph on 3 and no foul? NBA admitted refs made a mistake and it was just like nothing to them.

    NBA fines are more expensive than traffic fines or a speeding ticket

    He earns $5k in less than 2 minutes of playing time.

    How has Harden only been fined a handful of times then? Dude is not a big time flopper, that's a myth perpetuated by the internet. A slap across the arms is a foul is a foul is a foul. I haven't seen a single instance all playoffs of a time he clearly flopped. If you have then I'd like to see it. He doesn't flop anymore than the average player.

    get real. the guy acts like he has been hit by a missile every time he enters the lane.

    throws head back, flails arms, contorts body. it's absolutely absurd, and it is 100% not a myth perpetuated by anything.

    3 in a row at the 2 minute mark are especially comical

    Joke. Flop all you want refs have eyes, just don't call the charge if a guy flops, he will stop once he sees no call and his guy goes in for 2.

    Was this called on his 3 point shot where he contorted his body mostly drawing contact? I think he fell to the ground too..? He does over exacturate taking contact on jump shots but I'm surprised the fined him

    Funny you use this as your example since 90% of these were showing Harden on defense. And most of them were in his OKC days, plus he was actually fouled on a lot of them or they weren't even really flops, just examples where he fell down. Newsflash, players legitimately fall to the court in basketball.
