I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'll just post this here.
LeBron is so full of shit it's not even funny.
Any player that says there's nothing wrong with flopping and that it's a useful "tactic" is probably a flopper.
So it's kinda funny when LeBron came out with this gem:
"It's kind of the same as when people said I was overrated, I have the same response," James said. "I don't need to flop. I play an aggressive game but I don't flop. I've never been one of those guys. I don't need to flop. I don't even know how to do it. So it doesn't mean much to me."
You don't flop? You don't know how to do it? HAHA!
If there's one thing LBJ is a king of, it's flopping. Take a look at the video below. Those aren't even all of the flops he's ever had

Look at the flop with Fisher near the end. It's impossible to fight through a screen that LBJ is setting because he falls the second there is contact made. Sometimes it legit looks like the player knocks him down... but that's because LBJ is an amazing flopper. And if a flopper is a good flopper, that means they have experience doing it or maybe even practice it.... which is pretty pathetic.
Flopping ruins the game. Who the hell likes watching guys fall when they don't even gets touched? Then they proceed to act like they're going to be out for the rest of the season before they stand up a minute later and continue playing the game with no issues.
I swear, my skim crawls when I see so much flopping the NBA. It's the worst when I watch Miami play. It's like they take an hour out each day to practice flopping. They all fuckin do it. LBJ, Wade, Bosh, Chalmers, Battier, etc.
It's mind boggling to me that Miami flops so much. They're a very talented team and they probably don't even need to flop to win.. yet they continue to do it anyway.
