Jokic admits flopping after Westbrook charged him

The flagrant foul on Russell Westbrook was entirely deserved.

But the victim of Westbrook's rage, Nikola Jokic, says he did flop to exaggerate the impact of his opponent's tackle in Tuesday's preseason action between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets.

Westbrook was whistled for a flagrant 1, as he clearly had no intention of making a basketball play when he charged into Jokic. But Jokic stands at 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds, so the impact shouldn't have sent him flying.
