LeBron flopped

[dawsey6]

since when is a push an automatic ejection? UGH lebron soft

On the same day that freeing your arm from a tangle is a technical foul. The league is a soft league.

How dare Lebron not attempt to regain balance after being forcefully pushed by a guy bigger than him. The nerve of that b!tch-made muthaf*****.

taller, not bigger. he flopped.

[Sarcastic]

Mohammed definitely made contact, but I think Lebron acted a little bit to sell it to the refs.

So yes, it was a flop.

Excuse me: taller. Still an intentional and forceful push.

[TheCalmInsanity]

Lol. The double standards are hilarious.

People call the Clippers floppers at the slightest little gesture. They flopped maybe twice this whole year (blatant flops).

Then stuff like this happens and those same fans that were accusing the Clippers of flopping are now like "He wasn't looking" "It was a big person pushing him" "He didn't have balance". Where were those excuses when they were laughing at others for flopping? Pathetic

Still an intentional and forceful push.

Agreed. And an equally intentional and forceful fall.

Yup. Can you imagine Lebron being pushed like that on the street and falling? No. Even if he was caught off guard, he might stumble or struggle to stay on his feet, but he'd regain balance and then come for your throat.

A big guy like Lebron can't get pushed that far, and fall like that with ABSOLUTELY no reflexes or intention to stay on his feet at all.

Also notice how he looks behind him before he falls. He knows that he's going to fall and just makes sure there's nothing down there.

Welcome to the 90's Lebron. Hope you like it.

10 points on 3-8.

Notice how Lebron looks down to the floor before he falls. When you fall for real, you don't have time to look back


Lebron being a bitch

Good catch. I didn't notice that at first.

I should post a slowed down version of the gif.

Lebron should just retire for the sake of Ish sanity

Trying to regain your balance after you are pushed like that could be more dangerous than sliding along the floor. There are people around him and he could turn an ankle doing that, or stumble into someone and get called for a technical foul.

Obviously if you are playing street ball you would rather try to regain your balance because the ground is rough and you wouldn't be able to easily slide along the floor.

Either way, look at his upper body. It was like a stiff plank falling off a shelf. He looked down, used his right arm to push him (using your hand to break your fall is MUCH more dangerous than trying to stay on your feet).

If he falls, he could break his wrist (I speak from experience, don't break your fall with your palms/hands, unless you like broken scaffoids), he can bust his tailbone, can hit his head, can get whiplash, etc. Nothing suggests that falling on the floor is safer than trying to stay on your feet. You can twist an ankle doing anything, stumbling isn't the only time it's a threat.

Now you're doing this.

Yeah, he had to sell it or else no one would've noticed.
