:cheers: Check out the flailing 3 seconds after initial contact :roll: :roll: :roll:

[unbreakable]

his 2nd reaction makes no sense.. why flail ur arms twice? and the 2nd time (no contact) is more exagerrated than the 1st? wtf?

[kurt_rambis]

yeah, obvious foul, and legitimate first reaction. maybe not a flagrant 1, but still a hard foul

the second reaction was just retarded

I liked this explanation:
"It looks like he wants to flop, but the hit actually hurt him so he stopped halfway through."

I would probably wait 3 seconds and throw my arms up

[Nash]

Flop? See how his neck goes when he gets that hit.

ya'll are crazy.

[knickswin]

well, that's why you don't run backwards, lebron ...

[JM720]

Where is the one he did on Melo

[irondarts]

His delayed reaction was retarded, but it was a foul anyway.

[BigTicket]

Are we really at the point where we're blaming players for how they fall after getting fouled ?

I dislike players who fake fouls as much as anyone, but this was clearly a foul.

If you want to blame Lebron for flopping, there are legit examples out there, but this isn't one.

[eurobum]

i'm usually a lebron hater ... but dudes, take a closer look. looks pretty whiplashenean to me.

Oh please get his nuts out of your mouth. I'm a fan of his, but that's got to be the most obvious flop he's ever pulled.

[DuMa]

delayed reaction was a bit weird but it was a genuine foul. every example of what not to do when setting a screen.

Looks like he hurt himself even more by flopping after the initial contact. :oldlol:

[Inactive]

He was legitimately hurt, look at how his head snapped. He exaggerated his reaction to it, but it wasn't an egregious flop. It probably shouldn't have been a flagrant, but it was on the borderline.

:roll: stupid chandler. Doesn't he know that u cant set a legal screen against LeRef eventhough you've already established position 10ft away??

[thelucifer69]

If you were under 6 feet that foul would break your neck. :coleman:

Lebron James, sending John Lucas to the floor with the same exact screen in the previous Bulls/Heat game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZhDmm8q1YM

That was not called a foul on James by the way, while Chandler's was called a Flagrant. League bias? :confusedshrug:

Yeah, and Lucas is a man and gets back up.

LeBron obviously plays up the hit, then rolls around on the floor like someone axe-handled him in the back of the head. Then wanders around for 5 minutes grimacing and cringing so the cameras can see how "hurt" he is.

[Mr. Jabbar]

real foul, nice flailing act. Oscar nominee.

[TheBluest]

His Flop Instincts kicked in before the actual affects from the whiplash...This is why flopping needs to be eliminated and techs handed out for doing it.

These players are flopping by nature. I do believe the hit Chandler gave him tweaked his neck a tad but his reaction looked completely fabricated foolish and a mockery of competition

[BGriffin's Dad]

i always lol when people say the clippers flop more than the heat

lebron, wade, and bosh = the 3 queens of flopping

[StateOfMind12]

It was a foul but he exaggerated it and turned the foul into a flagrant one which is why people are pissed at him.

Yeah....this.

[iDunk]

I thought the one with JR Smith was worse where he fell out of bounds.

[gilalizard]

They're not exactly the same. Chandler jolted forward, Lebron didn't. Both are fouls, but Chandler's was clearly worse.

LeBron clearly leans into and puts his shoulder into Lucas. On top of being far bigger than Lucas.

Chandler and LeBron are at least of fairly equal size.

[dreamshake]

I don't understand guys like Lebron and Blake Griffin flopping. I mean here's two of the biggest/strongest guys in the league. Why do they have to resort to such lows?

[itsGameTime]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1087723/bron2.gif



That extra flop afterwards :biggums:

[EnoughSaid]

That's definitely a foul, and that was whiplash. LeBron got up quick and started walking, grimacing and showing signs of pain.

[ProfessorMurder]

People defending this, explain how he should fall forward, yet mid-fall against gravity and the force of Chandler, his body flails backwards.

CLEAR FLOP. He did get hit hard, but he flopped like a bitch.

Quoting this because its pretty goddamn solid. LBJ flops like a drag queen, all flinging his hands up and then acting like Lizzy Borden took an axe to his neck.

Flagrant on Chandler...no foul on Lebron. Disgraceful.

I smell an oscar :applause:

[ShannonElements]

When you see it in slow motion like that(must be where some of you are getting the "3 seconds later" thing from) it does look like a flop, but when you see it real time it really doesn't. Or, rather, in real time it's hard to even notice the flop because it happens so fast.

[DonDadda59]

Don't know why he felt he had to bust out the theatrics. It was a legit hard foul, no need to turn it into a melodramatic exhibition. Guess flopping is just a part of his identity.

You know you're pulling at straws when you over-analyze it that much. A flop is a flop, in real or slow time.

I don't think he even had time to think about it. That hit to the perceived flop plays out in like 0.3 seconds in real time. Which would make it more instinctual than anything. "Instinctual flopping." LOL

[Blue&Orange]

Lebron is really the chosen one, he defies the laws of physics, shoved in the back and falls backwards...


:bowdown:


Someone gif his flop start of the 3rd, that led to the tecnical on Woodson

Can someone gif the Lebron flop where he dove out of bounds?

This right here. After he's hit and already moving forward, some strange force seized him and whips him backward.

It's obvious he blatantly flopped well after the hit.

yeah. try playing a pickup game and running into a hard screen from someone at least 225 lbs... it's a pretty big impact.

i think in this situation bron got hit hard and felt like he deserved a call... so he made sure he got the call by waving his arms. if you get hit hard and just stand your ground you might not get the call.

[Living Being]

I liked this explanation:
"It looks like he wants to flop, but the hit actually hurt him so he stopped halfway through."
Exactly.

He was like,
:lebronamazed: "Got contact, gotta flop...."
:lebroncry: "OH OWWW, that actually hurt!"

All in the span of 1.5 seconds.

[Bandito]

The one I wanna see when Fields (I think) push him to the ground with like the weakest gay ass push I ever seen in my life and he still gets the foul and he just put this stupid ass face like he was really hurt. hilarious :lol

[Scoooter]

He clearly flopped. Chandler's impact, if anything, was going to knock him forward.

The one from JR Smith when he falls to the floor is better.

A flagrant foul was called for that?

It's a foul but refs should know better (if refs actually saw the play). Lebron is a big boy, he cant be as hurt as he made it out to be with such a relatively flimsy contact.
That is one funny looking flop though, i give him props for a laughs. His body apparently took a sec to figure out that the contact didnt warrant a normal flop reaction since he was legitimately got hit this time around.

[Myth]

his 2nd reaction makes no sense.. why flail ur arms twice? and the 2nd time (no contact) is more exagerrated than the 1st? wtf?

I think what happened is that LeBron has trained himself to flop whenever there is contact. So he exaggerates without having to think much about it too much whether the hit was legit or not.

Sequence of what happened
1. Hit jarred Lebron
2. LeBron flailed his arms out of habit of flopping
3. LeBron realized that it legitimately hurt his neck

[Myth]

A flagrant foul was called for that?



I think there was some intention behind Tyson's hit. He was trying to get into LeBron's head and let LeBron know he can be hit at any moment so LeBron better watch his back. Tyson hit him with a fairly tough screen the play before too, so the refs may have took that into consideration and thought it was intentionally a hard hit.

I guess that makes some sense. But looking at that gif, it doesnt look like it warrants a flagrant foul call. Cant blame the refs every time though. Its hard to get every call right as it is, adding in player's acting makes it even harder.

there is no point with haters.

you post video evidence that shows its clearly nothing like one another, yet all of you will flock together and say it is. if you cant see the difference such as the fact that chandler is off his feet and jolting forward, where as lebron is set, then you're a delusional hater. :oldlol:

but then again, you mad. :oldlol:

heat win. :oldlol:

Shut the **** up dumb ass. I played sports and I never had a extremely delayed reaction like that. That was a clear flop. Take the homer glasses off and you'll realize that you ****ing retard.

[theaussieguy]

of course it was a flop but that kind of contact does shake the *** outta you for a second or two so his reaction was believable enough.

If u guys wanna see a bad flop, check out Patrick Mills (spurs BU PG) flop when he was in Australia during the lockout.

lebron's feet were set, perfectly legal screen

[BallsOut]

lebron's feet were set, perfectly legal screen

I thought you were suppose to be set for at least a few seconds. You can't just run in front of someone at the last second and call that a legal screen. Which is what Lebron did, he pretty much shoulder checked Lucas at the last possible second.

ive never heard that before, you just have to have your feet set before the impact, and keep them set through the impact

on the chandler screen, he steps into bron a little

thing is, in the halfcourt, in a regular pick and roll, where the defender sees the screen coming, the screener would get away with moving even more than chandler did, regularly. garnett moves more on screens every game, then chandler did on that screen.

I have played a lot of hockey and football, among other sports, and trust me this hit is far from what I'd call a hard hit. The way his neck snaps is normal, only in cases of concussion, the neck snap is important because it can cause whiplash effect, but in any other situation a neck snap, just like a head snap is completely normal and very common. It has no other negative side effect, in most cases no pain whatsoever is felt in the neck or head area. What Lebron did was what soccer players always do after somebody hits them in the chest or back, they grab their heads or necks to embellish the contact and to get a more severe call going their way.

[itsGameTime]

Wow I didn't think Lebron could top the flop he did in the finals:
