The NBA has been around for over seven decades but to this day, basketball fans are still guaranteed to see something they haven’t seen before – or at least one that happens very rarely.

We were treated to one Saturday night when DeMarcus Cousins and Zaza Pachulia conspired to give us an early Christmas gift: a double flop!

Early in the third quarter of the game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Golden State Warriors, Cousins ran into Pachulia, who was trying to give Stephen Curry a screen. Both men crashed to the floor as if they were each shot by a hiding sniper inside the Oracle Arena.

The Golden Globes and the Oscars are months away from naming winners, but there has to be one acting award-giving body out there who could find time to give Cousins and Pachulia the trophies they deserve. I heard Daniel Day-Lewis was watching the game and immediately whipped out a pen and paper to jot down notes in hopes of learning more from Cousins and Pachulia.

Pachulia sold his acting chops better to the referees, though, as Cousins was called for a foul. Not only did Cousins got the short end of the stick on that play, his team also fell to the Warriors, 110–95.
