So Lebron flopped again lastnight

[757Hokie83]

To warrant a warning, or fine, or suspension a flop MUST be extremely egregious. This comes nowhere close to that, IMO.

how about this one?

or this?

or this one?

here's a good one:

It is my sincere and consistent thought on flopping.

If you go look at the thread when Stephenson got a warning (or was it a fine?) recently for his flop, I said the same thing and defended him.

Stephenson isn't a hardcore flopper by any means, but I don't even have to see the play to tell you that there is a 95% chance that Stephenson flopped.

How could you defend the King of Flop, LeBron James? Hahaha.

 

[Lone Granger]

Ok lets start the bets:

Bet #1: under/over is 3 for how many times Lebron will get caught flopping for the rest of the season. So if you see him flop, post it on this thread and we will keep count

Bet #2: Will Lebron be atleast warned before the season is over with?

Well, we will catch him flop another 10 times easily, but I doubt unless this kind of thing happens again, that he even gets warned.

id love to see these guys play hockey

Lol, these guys wouldn't stand a chance in the NHL

 

[Jims_Doors]

show video? what play are you referring too?

Why provide proof? If a Kobe fan says James flopped, then it MUST be true. I mean after all, he did state later on in the thread that he watched ESPN all morning.

Almost forgot to LOL @ "this is not a troll thread"

Its cool, im not trying to get in the debate of flopping, I just want to have fun with it with some bets, since its at its all time high right now

Fair enough, I don't want to derail a thread that was meant for an entirely different purpose.

Bet #1. Easy over, based on the criteria for a flop on this thread

Bet#2. I'll say he gets 1 warning before the end of the season.... and that it gets more attention than the other dozen warnings that have been handed out this year put together.

The driving purpose of defense in football and hockey is to seek out contact with your opponent.
The driving purpose of defense in basketball is to avoid contact.

Comparing flopping to either of those sports makes no sense, IMO

Gordon, I understand you want to defend the star player of your team but even you have to admit his flopping is bordering on the ridiculous.

My thoughts on flopping truly has nothing to do with LeBron. I defend every "flop" that I don't think is egregious (which is most of them). If you don't know me well as a poster, you'll probably think that's BS, and that's fine.... I'd probably think the same thing.

As for LeBron, I think his "flop"s get 10x the attention of anyone else's because of the prevalent dislike for him.

I would put him somewhere in the middle (top of the middle) of the league in terms of his encounters with questionable flopping.

It should get more attention. The guy flops more than anyone in the league.

So why did the NHL institute a diving /embellishing rule not long ago that now penalizes a player for doing so?

Did you not see the video that was posted?

Stephenson's recent fine says otherwise.

 

[lakersrule]

Those are some pretty egregious flops that Hokie posted.

 

[Jims_Doors]

Did you not see the video that was posted?

The video by the OP who started the thread? No, BOT is still waiting for that.

But I did see the one posted by someone else 16mins later after the thread was started.

It's just common sense that if you're going to start a thread about a subject where video is needed, then it's probably wise to have that video before doing so.

This was nothing more than "I'll start the thread and hope someone puts up the video."

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Did you not see the video that was posted?

Dude is retarded or something.

 

[Lone Granger]

Stephenson's recent fine says otherwise.

Stephenson has flopped, I never denied it. But on the level of LeBron James? Are you serious?!

I can count Lance's flops on one hand.

 

[lakersrule]

Dude is retarded or something.

Apparently the OP has to post the video or JD gets confused.

 

[Black Adam]

Dude is retarded or something.

leave the "or something" outta the sentence...

 

[lakersrule]

Hey Gordon...please try to defend the gifs Hokie put up. Especially that one against Z-Bo. This should be interesting.
