I've noticed it too, he does it a lot. I miss the 90's era of basketball when men weren't afraid to act like men...

More of acting, than flopping. I've seen worse though. Iverson is worse than anybody on offense. Anytime somebody puts a body on him, he jumps back andthrows his hands up.
Why do you see this $#$@# on the floor so much? Tryin to send the refs subliminal messages of course.

WOW
Kobe cries about calls more than any player on the offensive end.
Every time he goes through the lane all you hear is: UeaaaahAAhaA.
Every All Star does some acting. Get over it.
yeah, whenever kobe doesn't get a call when he's driving in, he stays lookin the ref's way and complaining constantly. granted his theatricsaren't nearly as bad as bron's, he does is fair share of yelling/arguing.

So Lebron gets his own thread b/c of something every single NBA player does???
Every star acts.. and that's a way of them getting more calls.. All that "EHH." Flailing of the arms.. Falling to the ground when nobody touchesyou (Tony Parker)..ALOT of NBA players do this and will continue to do this b/c it works.. I say it's more of acting though, b/c the damage already hasbeen done, But they are just trying to make it known.. Chauncey Billups does that ALOT! I mean how many pgs flail their bodies when their doing lay ups in thepaint.. If the refs sees a little guy with awkward contortions in their body, ofcourse he's going to call it...
Floppers are people who don't get touched, but will do backflips to sell a call..
A little difference..

All that has nothing to do with queen james staying down for like 5mins and checking for blood when i get touched!

At the end of the day though, it's on the refs to make the right calls. It's not the players fault the ref will call something he didn't reallysee.

Yes. LeBron is right there with Manu, Devin, and Manu. His theatrics post contact aren't even physiologically valid. Like he gets forearm shoved to the hipthen jacks his head back like all the bones in his neck just gave out.

i think kobe's theatrics with the screaming and flailing his arms are worse what lebron does.

both (and most superstars) act, yeah you're right kobe's is pretty bad too...basically, anyone's favorite superstar does do a littleacting/flopping, and if they're not then they're honestly not playing the NBA game right.

It is a form of flopping. Dude is embellishing the truth.
