Reggie Evans may be a career back-up who has averaged 4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in his career, but he still managed to get his way into the record books as the first person ever fined by the NBA for flopping. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the league is taking $5,000 from Evans for his bad acting job during last night's game against the Lakers.

We're sure the Nets forward thoroughly exaggerated and took a dive after receiving that hefty slap on the wrist. But did he deserve it? Check out the video above to see the play in question. But remember, this is Evans we are talking about.
