The one where he acted like he got elbowed in the face when the guy's elbow was almost a full foot away.....NBA is by far the worst and has been since Bosh.

Flopping is more frequent in basketball than it is in soccer
Anybody who regularly watches both sports would agree with me.
I don't watch college basketball so I can't speak on that, but the EuroLeague is arguably even worse than the NBA for flopping.
Flopping is more frequent in basketball than it is in soccer, and that's been true for decades now. Guys like Bill Laimbeer, Vlade Divac and Robert Horry were expert floppers.
If you look at the big 6 teams in the Premier League, the only starter with a reputation for flopping is Dele Alli. That's 1 out of 66 players.
Brudo Fernandes begs to differ. And I'm a United fan lol.
Players don't get a reputation because everyone does it.
The sport has a reputation.
He's 100% correct.
Could you imagine the Bad Boys of Detroit era and that team along with eternally pissed off Barkley and others playing against Lebron and other floppers?nothing I hate more than in the nba some guy hitting the deck because the defender touched his hand.
this is another reason I think LeBron will never be considered the goat. nobody wants to give that honor to someone who is such a bitch on the court
Lol. Have you actually watched basketball from the 80s, or just spout the narrative you've been told all along? The league wasn't some brutal hockey style sport. It was as tame as today. Can you imagine little Isaiah trying to body up 6'8 260 pound Lebron? Tyler Hansbrough was a dirtier player than Lambieer. Can you imagine Bill Lambieer trying to rough up Serge Ibaka. Stop listening to the old heads talk up their era.Could you imagine the Bad Boys of Detroit era and that team along with eternally pissed off Barkley and others playing against Lebron and other floppers?
They might lose but the guys will be waking up battered and bruised.

My thing is more the hand fighting. People get out of the way of folks driving the lane now. Back then they’d hack at your handsBill Laimbeer was one of the most notorious floppers of all time...
People have such a rose tinted memory of a barbaric league of hard fouls and "real men" that didn't exist.
Ainge, Laimbeer, Reggie Miller, Vlade Divac, there were some GOAT flippers in the 80's and 90's, it wasn't all Xavier Mcdaniel/Charles Oakley enforcers mugging you anytime you went in the paint like people who hate the current NBA want to remember it.
