Rasheed Wallace likes NBA crackdown on floppers

Rasheed Wallace

The NBA announced on Wednesday that it will penalize floppers this season, fining players for repeated violations of exaggerated falls to the floor.

New Knick Rasheed Wallace is all for it.

“Hey, you all thought I was crazy for saying it over the last so-and-so years. I ain’t even gonna get into it, but yes,” he said when asked if he was in favor of it. “They needed to bend on that.”

Wallace raged against flopping for years, picking up quite a few of his 308 career technical fouls for arguing when he thought he was called for a foul because a player flopped.
