Flopping has gotten out of control in the NBA, and Prime Video’s Stan Van Gundy didn’t hesitate to call out an instance during Thursday night’s Game 2 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the playoffs.

In the first quarter, Thunder star big man Chet Holmgren went down hard after a basic post-up attempt from the Lakers’ Deandre Ayton, and Ayton was called for an offensive foul. JJ Redick and the Lakers proceeded to challenge the call.

“They may determine that he pushed him off, but this is a big-time acting job by Chet Holmgren,” Van Gundy said, as the Prime Video broadcast showed replays. “He did not get hit anywhere near the throat or the face, above the shoulders.”

“That’s an absolute flop,” Van Gundy continued. “I hope they don’t give him this call, because we need to get rid of the flops. And the way to do it, is to not give guys calls.”

“I’ve seen Chet in a number of commercials, and there is acting ability,” Prime Video play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle quipped.

“Well, I’ll you what- he showed it right there,” Van Gundy responded.

After review, it was overturned to a defensive foul on Holmgren, but NBA referee John Goble noted that Holmgren committed the foul “prior to contact to the face.”

“Well, I’m glad they got that call right, and didn’t give him the call,” Van Gundy said. “The only thing I’d argue with- there was no contact to the face.”

“No,” Eagle said, laughing in agreement.

“At any point, ever,” Van Gundy continued. “Not before or after he grabbed his arm.”

You can always count on Van Gundy, a former longtime NBA coach, for honest commentary.

The Thunder won the game, 125-107, to take a 2-0 series lead.

The Legally Blonde prequel series we never asked for is happening as Prime Video drops first Elle trailer — and there's already a glaring continuity error.

The Boys' showrunner has questioned why fans aren't enjoying its last season, and his comments have gone down as well as you'd expect.

Nearly a week out from the original announcement, and Duke’s landmark deal with Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service for a package of three regular-season men’s basketball games next season is still the talk of the sports media town square. Rightfully so. The deal could portend a sea change in how colleges approach the packaging and sale of media rights.

On Tuesday, more details trickled out about the exact arrangement Duke has entered into. According to a report by Ben Portnoy in Sports Business Journal, industry sources characterize Duke’s three-game package as “essentially a replacement for a multi-team event.”

College basketball fans are familiar with multi-team events, or MTEs. These are the early-season tournaments, often around Thanksgiving, where teams travel to far-flung destinations like Maui or The Bahamas (or less excitingly, Niceville, FL) to play two or three games in as many days. Teams are allowed to play in one such event each year, and those events can, hypothetically, sell broadcast rights on the open market (although at this point, most MTEs are owned and operated by ESPN).

Instead of participating in one of these MTEs next season, Duke essentially created its own and sold it to Amazon. At least, that’s how those within the industry are viewing it. It’s important to note that Duke reportedly did not sell these games directly to Amazon; third-party promoters arranged the games and subsequently sold them to Amazon.

The deal hasn’t been without contention, however. Fox Sports, the Big Ten rightsholder, has claimed broadcast rights for one of Duke’s scheduled games against Michigan at Madison Square Garden. The network claims that, based on a previously agreed-upon alternation pattern with ESPN and the ACC, it should receive the rights to Duke-Michigan because ESPN broadcast the same matchup last season from Washington, D.C.

There’s reason to believe Fox faces an uphill battle with that claim, in no small part because its contractual agreement is with ESPN and the ACC, not Duke and Amazon. Assuming this deal goes off without a hitch next season, there’s no doubt that other schools, both in basketball and football, will try to emulate the arrangement.

But as far as next season is concerned, it appears this deal will prevent Duke from playing in another MTE.

Only three episodes remain before The Boys is officially over — this is when you can watch the first of that final trio.
