07:57 AM ET 12.10 | Generally speaking, the 6-foot-8, 245-pound Reggie Evans is a tough customer. [Evans] is a brawny, feisty rebounding machine who loves a good collision. It takes a lot to make him cringe. A brief exchange with Commissioner David Stern might have done it. Evans was warming up for the Nets' Nov. 3 opener at Barclays Center when he spotted Stern near the court. He ambled over to congratulate the commissioner on his pending retirement. Stern said thanks, then hit Evans with a two-word retort that nearly knocked him over: "Don't flop." "He's like, 'Stop flopping,'" Evans recalled with a rueful grin in an interview last week. "David Stern told me that. I laughed. He was laughing." ... Laughter aside, this is a sensitive area for Evans.
