(Video) NBA: First Flopping Warnings Given! Check Out Who Got It & The Flops…

Guards J.J. Barea of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Donald Sloan of the Cleveland Cavaliers are the first players who have been identified as floppers under the NBA’s new anti-flopping rule.

Both offending plays occurred in the fourth quarters of games last Friday.  Check it out…

Players found to have egregiously attempted to fool the referee are punished. A first offense calls for a warning. The second offense comes with a $5,000 fine, followed by $10,000 for a third, $15,000 for a fourth and $30,000 for a fifth. Additional flops after that could lead to a suspension.
