Mark Cuban, Mavericks Owner To Pay For NBA Flopping Research

While NBA commissioner David Stern has been vocal about the league's need to expand its anti-flopping rules, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is funding a study on the practice, according to ESPN. One of Cuban's companies has provided $100,000 to Southern Methodist University for an 18-month investigation of the forces involved in basketball collisions and try to figure out if video or other motion capture techniques can identify legitimate collisions and instances of flopping.
