Re: The LeBron James Thread

Anyone else get kinda tired of how everyone is constantly calling him a flopper? He's only done it in a few instances and is hardly the worst offender. Just seems like an exaggeration.

I'm sure there are more videos, but it's more than just "a few instances".

It's also the fact that he's the most physically imposing wing player in the entire league and he's out there gyrating and flying around like an idiot, which makes it all the more egregious.

there are more videos of the same situations. he hasn't flopped at all this year and people are acting like he's made a career out of it.

i don't like when he does it but there are others that do it more than him and he hardly does it on a regular basis.

The LeBron James Thread

He's got a few classic's...there is no denying that...



but i’m not sure why it has come up so much this year...every time flopping comes up in the game thread LeBron gets brought up some kind of way…whether the Heat are playing or not…



I attribute it to running out of ammo....hard to criticize after two straight championships...you see how much Skip is suffering on First Take lol

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I haven't seen it get brought up in game threads much this year. Honestly, I haven't seen Lebron get discussed much on here at all this year, especially in comparison to previous years. This week has been the first time I've heard this whole Lebron and flopping thing get brought up and that's mainly because of the stupid "Lebronning" nonsense that came up out of nowhere.

Maybe I've been looking in the wrong threads then because it's been pretty quiet on here as far as Lebron goes.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Yeah, I mean NBA players flop, including LeBron. It is the nature of the game at this point. He gets the brunt of it because he is LeBron.

Pack and 24ths posts pretty much sums up my thoughts.

More like players MO now. Basketball was never a flopping game but the rule changes accelerated the ridiculousness of it but that's a different discussion altogether.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Maybe discussed before but....

Lets say Lebron leaves Miami after this year and goes somewhere else(that isn't Cleveland), when he goes into the HOF, will it be as a Cavs player or Heat player? 7 seasons with Cavs,4 with Heat, but he won 2(maybe 3) championships with Heat with 3(maybe 4) finals appearances.

Heat. Do the players get to decide this? Same question with Shaq..will he be a Laker? Obviously his best years but maybe not his favorite..

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Not sure fans would want LeBron in Cleveland. It would be cool to see him go as a Cav basically just because he was the face of the entire city.. But I'm honestly not even sure they'll retire his jersey.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

If he goes back to Cleveland and they actually win a chip with him there, his jersey will most certainly get retired and if it isn't the player's choice how they go in, he's probably going in as a Cav just for that feat.

Exactly how I feel.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Even if he never goes back and wins a title there he should still have his jersey retired by them, he's the greatest player in Cavaliers history and gave them like 7 years of hard work, dedication and memorable moments.
