Your dad would be super pissed right now at LeBron James. Because, yeah, all that horsin’ ’round, trying to up-sell a simple hard foul into a flagrant by magically LAUNCHING yourself into the cameras, IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES….
You know the rest.
Still, there were some truthers on Twitter last night who INSISTED to me (usually, with some choice expletives mixed in) that LeBron had merely “lost his balance.”
Why of course he did. The finest athlete in the world, perhaps, suddenly and inexplicably loses all motor skills, right around the time he thinks he should be getting a whistle.
Sorry, but everybody with eyes has seen this move before. But if you haven’t here’s a decent compilation of LeBron’s best flops.
(Note: Skip to the end, if you must, to see the ironically similar “dive” he took when now-teammate and former Knick J.R. Smith merely touched him in the corner. Priceless!)

Lebron may be the best basketball player in the world, in the conversation for best athlete in the world, but also one of the biggest douche bags ever. Not only is he a flop artist, but listen to him talk about “his team” – most annoying, self serving pile of $h%t ever
Flop cop
Look at 2:29 for an even more perfect example. Accelerated into the cameraman pen.

Check out 2:29 for an even better example. Accelerates right into the cameras under the basket.

Lebroni, this guy is the worst. He must have injected oil into his muscles so they look big and strong because he certainly cannot hold himself off the deck at the slightest touch. The NBA players are awesome and have skills unsurpassed by anyone in the world, but the game itself is unwatchable and Lebroni is one of the primary reasons. Comparing the best college players to the guys in the NBA shows how superior the NBA players are, but the referee’s and no-calls make it unwatchable. This dude is the poster child of the NBA and is just terrible to watch. His constant complaints and the fawning by the media and announcers over his every move like he is some basketball god is sickening. I would rather watch anything that Lebroni and I do.
