Metta World Peace Celebrated Reggie Evans’ Fine for Flopping


The NBA clearly agreed with Metta World Peace’s loud charges that Reggie Evans flopped egregiously in a game this week against the Los Angeles Lakers, and slapped him with a $5,000 fine. MWP was extremely happy to hear the news. Per the LA Times: “Metta World Peace loved to hear that Reggie Evans was fined $5,000 for flopping. ‘Yes!’ he said when informed by a reporter. He wasn’t so happy to learn that Brooklyn forward Gerald Wallace wasn’t fined by the NBA. Both players committed questionable flops when World Peace had the ball in the Lakers’ 95-90 victory Tuesday over Brooklyn. ‘Did you see those two flops from Gerald Wallace? C’mon now. That’s ridiculous,’ World Peace said. ‘In one possession, he flopped twice and just fell. It was crazy. It’s like, ‘Wow, what is that?’ It’s really funny, but it’s like, really, I don’t even know what to think anymore, to tell you the truth. It’s ridiculous. Totally ridiculous.’ Evans was the first player fined by the NBA for flopping after he embellished contact with World Peace near midcourt.”
