This link will open right in windows media player.

It shows specific example of flops that will be penalized as well as examples that won't be penalized.

That whole thing was hilarious and it was pretty subjective

I a weird way I like flops , its like...if you an't cheatin ..then you an't try n . 

FLops are funny too. Especially Lebron flops .  he is such a sorry actor.  Pierce is a great flopper, I would miss his flops.

It was kinda funny when they kept saying "The flopping and embellishment is not consistent with the contact"

Oh really? Do ya think? You mean you aren't buying that a 7ft guy got thrown by a 6ft 1 guy? For shame.

It's pretty interesting to me how many players are coming out against this. It's almost like they're a bunch of pretty boys or something. What? The NBA? Nooooo. Those guys would neeevvveeerrr try to take the easy way out.

I also guarantee the Heat were on the phone in two seconds to Stern saying "You weren't serious about that D Wade thing where he stuck out his leg right?" and I guarantee Stern said "Hold on. Let me stop shoveling for a second. No. No that wasn't serious. You don't have anything to worry about".  Then the Heat were like "Good. Tell that video guy to change it". And Stern said..."Oh. Yeah. You won't have to worry about him again. Look I got to get back to some shoveling. I've got an NBA draft to rig, Donaghy to murder, and the NFL to frame for it. Frankly, I'm bushed".

I thought it gave pretty good examples.

Especially identifying how the Deng example was a basketball move and not considered flopping but other over embellishments were.

We'll see how well the league enforces this whether the fine the superstars when they do the "throw the head back" while driving the lane.
