Reggie Miller said it best (either the best or the worst authority, depending on your stand on things) ...... when a player has the ability to sell it well to the zebras, he gets "rewarded" with the call.
In a way, he is right as flopping is almost inherent to most sports with limited contact rules e.g. soccer, etc ...... to police/judge flopping as it happens, should be one of the most difficult tasks a ref should handle ....... things happen in real-time, really fast.
IMO the NBA has done the next best thing, by reviewing afterwards and penalizing floppers.
Hopefully, within the next few seasons, the refs will get to be part of the flopping review/replays and make better judgement calls during actual flopping scenarios.

Mabuti wala sa NBA yung katulad ni
Ronald Tubid ....... mag-flop (parang nabaril) after minimal contact, then ngingiti, then fist-pump, then palakpak.
