Stephon Castle Makes Honest Admission About 'Selling Calls'

Even though the NBA has rules that penalize flopping, many players have found loopholes to exploit just to sell the call to referees. While certain Thunder players are usually associated with that kind of practice, apparently, some Spurs players are doing it too. Stephon Castle even admitted it in front of the media.

Most players who have a good free-throw percentage will always welcome the idea of going to the line to score. No defenders in the way. Just the player and the uninterrupted view of the basket in front of him. And that’s why getting to the line has become advantageous in basketball these days.

When asked by reporters whether the Spurs have played strictly ethical hoops, Castle admitted he tries to put pressure on the refs to blow their whistles.

“I sell calls, too, sometimes. I mean, I can’t lie. If it’s too egregious, you know, the refs aren’t gonna bail you out. They are gonna make the better team win,” Stephon Castle’s answer to a reporter’s question.
