Dennis Schroder still in WrestleMania mode with outrageous flop vs. Knicks

The Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks have been one of the more competitive opening-round matchups in the NBA Playoffs.

The Knicks earned the hard-fought Game 1 victory, and on Monday night, are looking to extend that series lead to two.

The game has already been physical early; however, Pistons guard Dennis Schroder may have overreacted a bit to get a foul call.

Flop is a term that quickly turns discussions about the game of basketball into heated arguments. There's no mistake, Schroder put on his best acting job with the flop that drew a foul on Cam Payne in the first quarter of the Pistons' matchup with the Knicks.

Can't blame Schroder entirely. Maybe the Pistons guard is still in WrestleMania mode. It's hard to come down after such an exciting weekend of action in the squared circle, and what if he wanted to show off how good he is at taking bumps?

In all seriousness, how in the world are we still allowing stuff like this? These games are far too important to allow someone to get away with something like a flop.

Maybe Schroder needs to be visited by Randy Orton. If he were to receive an RKO, then he would have a reason to flop on the court like a fish.
