The NBA's Immigration Problem

"All that flopping, they need to make that a technical foul for next year. That's not defense in the fourth quarter and I'm glad we have veteran officials to see that."
-- Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace, referring to Anderson Varejao's sprawl fall on Sheed's shot that gave Detroit the lead for good.

This is not getting any better as the playoffs continue. Varejao will make way for the Best Actor winner 3 years running, Ginobili. And its not just South Americans, futbol-loving Frenchy Tony Parker is feeling the foreign influence, too. If thi gets any worse, the NBA is going to have to shut down its borders.
