Troy Aikman Takes A Jab At NBA Flopping

The New Orleans Saints couldn’t get anything going on Monday night.

Their trip to Lambeau Field didn’t end as they expected.

They were shut out and lost 34-0.

One of the Saints’ defenders tried to fool the referees into calling a penalty.

Instead, he left WR Dontayvion Wicks wide-open for a touchdown.

That’s why Troy Aikman made the most of the opportunity to poke fun at the NBA, as it seemed like he was a basketball player flopping to get a call.

Troy Aikman and Joe Buck were amused by Saints safety Ugo Amadi's flop.

"Christmas is coming up. NBA's gonna be all over the tube and, you know, they've got that move mastered."

That’s one of the reasons why the NBA has gotten worse lately.

The game has become full of theatrics, and while there’s nothing wrong in trying to bend the rules a little, some players take it a little too far.

Needless to say, that’s not going to cut it in football.

NBA ratings are significantly down this season, and football continues to be king.

That’s despite many fans complaining about the league trying to take the physicality away from the game with the new rules and how they constantly protect star quarterbacks and whatnot.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will have to give a lot of thought to fixing this issue with his league.

But at the end of the day, it will most likely depend on whether the players want to play like they care about the game, and that will be the biggest challenge.
