Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins embarrassed himself with a shameless flop during Saturday night's game against Oklahoma City.
Thunder center Steven Adams was tangled up with Cousins as he trailed the play while trying to run back on defense. Adams made a swim move to get his right arm around Cousins and accidentally grazed the face of Cousins on the way down. Cousins decided to use this as an opportunity to draw a foul call, as a moment later, he threw his head back as if he had been hit with an uppercut.
That's just terrible. The NBA needs to eliminate this ridiculous behavior by making it a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. That's the only way players are going to stop flopping.
H/T LBS.
