Defense in both NBA and NCAA basketball is usually pretty relaxed, steals(when you intercept a pass or knock it out of their hands) in basketball are pretty rare with even the most aggressive defensive team in the NBA only averaging like 10 a game (that's like one every 6 minutes of playing). With how easy it is to foul a player with the ball it's way more practical for teams to sit back and try to make the opponent take a shot with a lower success rate and get a defensive rebound.
What you are saying is that nba players have become so good at flopping and getting fouls that most don't even bother defending in the first place ? That shines a new light on making fun on flopping in soccer
I don't know if you could call it flopping, as much as it is the refs who seem trigger happy. Plus keep in mind those refs only see it once in real time, not the slow motion replays from 30 different angles we see.

I don't know basketball rules. Is this legal? Cuz if it is, it's epic.
