Does LeBron James’ arsenal of weapons on the hardwood include a mastery in the art of flopping? A lot of people say yes, especially the Chicago Bulls right now. In fact, head coach Tom Thibodeau was just fined $35K for saying the Heat were getting the calls and stating, “I see how things are going, I watch very closely,” “We’re not going to get calls, that’s reality.”
He was referring to an incident during Friday’s match up which saw LeBron and Bulls big man Nazr Mohammed engage in a pushing match that resulted in Nazr’s ejection.
LeBron of course, disagrees with this position.
Here’s footage from alleged LeBron flop plays from last season. You make the call. Keep in mind the rules for flopping have been tightened this season.
