Houston Rockets G James Harden was the NBA's first victim of the season after he was fined $5,000 for a second flopping offense.  Harden has stated that he will appeal the fine and that he doesn't want to be known as a flopper.

“The first one, I really did get hit in the face,” Harden said. “I’m trying to appeal that right now. I really did get hit in the face, it was just a late reaction….I don’t want to be known as a flopper or a guy who is looking to get calls, that type of player.....That type of player I’ve never been. It was a bad call.”
