There are plenty of good reasons why the NBA has tried to crack down on flopping in recent years, but if there’s one bright spot to that otherwise deplorable tactic, it’s the unintentional comedy that often accompanies it. That’s what happened Wednesday night during the Sixers-Grizzlies game.
On the play above, Ersan Ilyasova tried to shamelessly draw a foul on Zach Randolph at the top of the key, but instead of getting the call, instant karma took over, and his momentum flung him right into teammate Jerryd Bayless, who he head-butted and knocked to the ground. Hopefully, the league will add insult to injury with the requisite $5,000 fine.
