LeBron James Got Away With a Major Flop Against Cleveland
By Jason McIntyre
"“While there may be a slight embellishment by the defender to draw attention to the marginal contact … this is a legitimate basketball play and is a reasonable attempt to draw the charge. This play would not be deemed to be a flop and it will not be penalized.”"
I suppose the NBA suits will determine what a “legitimate basketball play” is, right?
The NBA, in its infinite wisdom, determined something had to be done about flopping. Some folks thought this was a bad idea. Until a star gets penalized for flopping, this will sort of feel like the NCAA getting angry at Kentucky and punishing Cleveland St.
