re: Bogut is right -- watch the GIFs, Lebron jumped into the camera

You don't think it's possible that he was embellishing to maybe draw a flagrant on Bogut, and ended up getting the wrong end of the stick?

By jumping head first into a camera? No, thats absolutely ridiculous. This isn't Kendrick Perkins. Lebron's health is infinitely more valuable to the team than slightly increasing the chance of getting 1 free throw. Lebron knows that too.


Problem here is a bunch of short white people who can't even dunk. Y'all have no idea what its like to get fouled(much less by a 7 foot 270 person) as you have left the ground and are focusing on the rim. Just because you absorbed contact and were able to barely keep your feet while shouting "and 1" as your layup bricked off the rim in the under 6 feet league doesn't mean this was a flop.

I usually stay out of these threads but I don't see how anyone can even question that lebron was embellishing his fall. Your 2nd paragraph is pathetic.

The fact that all the LeBron fans and guys who really never think they're wrong like Shel and Sexecutioner can't even fathom that LeBron might have embellished a little is laughable.

Did you know he was going to hit a camera or something? Of course not. But did he try to sell the foul? Absofrickinglutely.

Does he deserve credit for his toughness for staying in the game and battling through a possible concussion? Certainly. He said he did have a headache, which is a symptom.

If the exact same play happened, but it was Draymond Green getting fouled by Mozgov, every Cavs/LeBron fan on this board would be laughing at how much he flopped. Especially because of his history for overselling fouls (which LeBron does sometimes too).

And let me be clear, I have no problem with a dude flopping a little or trying to sell a foul. That's basketball today. However, it still happens and guys can be called out for it.
