Attorneys on behalf of Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to a sports prediction market for making fun of the NBA player over his frequent flopping.
“Flopping” refers to when players exaggerate illegal contact from the opposition in the hopes that referees will see it and call a foul. It's most common in sports where participants play close but are not necessarily supposed to make contact, like in basketball, soccer, and hockey.
