Flopping in the NBA has quietly become an issue that the NBA has started to address, especially with the rise in fans on social media calling out calls by referees that shift the path of the game. Recently, the Lakers faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies, and ended up beating them 115 to 105. However, the win didn’t come without a flop by LeBron James on the Grizzlies’ Grayson Allen, which ended up going viral.
The flop happened while LeBron went up to get a rebound near Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen. James was seen in between the two players waiting for the rebound, but neither of them barely touched him, yet James still fell.
The NBA took to Twitter to call out the warning against James while posting the video, saying, “Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James received a warning for violating the league’s anti-flopping rule Feb. 12 vs. Memphis.” Watch above.
