LeBron James dominated, but also flopped a bit in Heat-Knicks Game 1. Discuss

[Stern]

People get really mad seeing lebron succeed.

[Dizzle-2k7]

Im thinking of all the top 20-25 players in nba history... bird shaq duncan barkley etc... lebron is the only flopper on that list

Lebron is pretty sly. He doesn't flop all season and only during playoffs so he gets most of the calls because he's not known as a flopper like paul and griffin.

[NumberSix]

Yup. 33 points worth of flops. Cool story angry haters.

[bdreason]

A couple flops doesn't lead to a 40 point win. The Knicks just aren't that good.

I don't think anyone is seriously arguing those obvious flops led to the heat win. But one, it's just pathetic for a player of Bron's caliber to be blatantly flopping like that. Two, it was on top of one-sided officiating. Again, not saying this cost the Knicks the game, but it's still worth mentioning.

He's an embarrassment to the game...the league should be embarrassed to promote him as "the best player." Puts up meaningless stats in blowout games, when his team is already leading. But if its a close game or his team is behind, he disappears completely. He's a scrub. I'v never seen other NBA players making fun of the so-called "best player in the league"...none of them respect him, see the tweets, it is awesome his flopping got exposed today.

I don't care if he succeeds. This game is rigged.

This.

Lebron is 6'8 260lbs, but falls out of bounds when he gets touched by JR Smith, falls 3 ft to the floor when he gets bumped by Melo, and flails his arms like Blake Griffin 3 seconds after he runs into a Chandler screen.

Let's be real here, Knicks were garbage.

Even though everyone can agree the officiating was a joke, would have still been a 10-15 point win by the Heat had Shump not been injured and fair calls were made.

I always laugh at the OP, always has an agenda against Knicks fan, still mad from when we beat you in Minny I see. Good to see your claiming a healthy Wolves would beat the Knicks in 5. How did a healthy wolves team go against the Knicks without Stat & Melo IN MINNY *******!

[irondarts]

I've never seen people have such hatred and venom over someone they've never met in their entire life and who plays a game...it's actually very sad.
