NBA release:

"Detroit’s Brandon Jennings received a warning for violating the league’s anti-flopping rule during the Pistons vs. Suns game on Wednesday, Nov. 19."

This warning, a potential prelude to a fine if Jennings is deemed to flop again, seems pretty weak.

Jennings fell. He didn’t noticeably complain about the lack of a foul.

I dislike flopping. More so, I dislike the notion NBA players can keep perfect control of their bodies at all times. That’s especially true of Jennings, whose jumper is distinctive for his lack of balance.
