This looks more like he failed to draw a charge than flopping. Are players not allowed to try and draw charges anymore with the new rule?

[–] junker359@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't understand why this was a flop. He wasn't flailing around or anything, he tried to draw a charge and they didn't call it. Looked like a no call to me.

isn't this the guy that charged lebron after h got punched lol

[–] -Kerosun-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Looked like LeBron wasn't trying to flop and just expected to "let himself go down" from the bump he expected.

He knew he got caught on that one, didn't even protest.

You love to see it

[–] AdventurousImage2440@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Add that to the leflop compliation

[–] Captain_Lameson@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I thought they couldn't call flopping on GMs. Games gone for fr

[–] ChillCaptain@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Are they calling t on flops now? Or was this like the second one in the game?

[–] SurpriceSanta@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Who hasn't done this? You expect a big hit then its barely a hit but you decded you would be fishing for an offensive foul xD

Its not often Lebron does shit that I also do xD

[–] -KFBR392@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why did they take so long to make that call?

[–] Fedge348@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This was actually in the 80th percentile for flops. Weird they called this one…

[–] Schristie007@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pretty meh on that one but some of the ones they’ve been letting slide lately make no sense

[–] waldo3125@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why was the call so delayed?

[–] Cul_what@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (6 children)

I knew he was going to get it but its still funny he got it with how refs are refusing to call this on more obvious flops so inconsistent smh

[–] Shenanigans80h@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I genuinely think the only reason they called this was because of how lopsided the game is. If they were any stakes or more tension, they wouldn’t entertain calling something like that on someone like Lebron.

It’s definitely a flop. Just wishing these calls are more consistent.

As talented and great as he is, Lebron really is the King of Flopping. He took the title from Vlade D.

[–] bigpimpin8558@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is your GOAT?

[–] Sqeegg@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Retire already

[–] ironfunk67@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The force of the whistle blast almost knocked him over again!

[–] bileycyrus21@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Of all the dramatic flops Lebron has had, this is the one that gets called?

[–] Aventurier2000@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Leflop back at it

[–] dys0n_giddey@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] iIiiIIiiiIiIIiI111@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah man, what I really want to see while watching NBA games is even more refs blowing their whistles. Genius.

[–] desirox@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Refs are hardly capable of calling black and white fouls. Flopping is very hard to get right real time so I have no faith in this being implemented correctly other than retroactive fines and suspensions

[–] moby323@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

But not Draymond

[–] jacketpantsjosh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (21 children)

Definitely a flop but wish they were actually consistent with this rule

[–] Reticent_Fly@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's weird. They seem to be calling flops on defenders more often than anything.

In general, it's the blatant flopping by offensive players that gets fans up in arm. Why aren't they calling that?

That's one of the least egregious flops, but that's the one they fucking call?

It’s actually bullshit. You can’t reward one player (Kyrie) for flopping one night and then punish the next (Lebron) the following night.

He's done worse than this, this is kinda soft.

[–] Actually-Yo-Momma@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Refs are doing it on purpose. They only call it in the softest plays and then completely ignore it on the worst offenders

"We don't work on flopping."

[–] Thisisgoingtopainz@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

In 10 years time this going to be called the LeBron Rules

[–] twhockey99@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Couldn't have happened to a more honest man

[–] clashcityrocker20@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

LeFlop James

[–] Side_Honest@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm shocked he didn't cry about the call
