my impression is that the flopping has declined. either that, or the players have gotten better at selling them as offensive fouls. but it's true, we'll see how bad it gets during playoffs

Seems to me that any effect this initiative had has now worn off. Subtle floppers continue to practice their art unimpeded. You don't see quite so many outrageously humorous pratfalls as before, I guess, so maybe it has curbed the urge to flop among the clumsy and ungifted.

i think it has. feel like there's been a few less egregiously comical flops (just a few)

suspect the nba never had a problem w the subtle flops

fwiw, the plague of utterly ridiculous flops, the sort that were widely shared on twitter for people to jeer at, feels like it has subsided into a mere whisper of what it was in 2013-14. otoh, the subtle flop (aka "selling the foul", when the foul is as much theoretical as real) has continued to flourish and is still a feature at least once in any game that is hotly contested.
