I want to see when the first obvious Lebron flop occurs that doesn't get fined or called. The over under on this is 5 games, most likely.
I'd wish they'd fine him everytime he fakes checking his eye/contact or whatever.

That's been his go to move after contact when he's not really feeling it but wants to sell it.
My favorite Lebron sell is when he flops after getting hit by a 190 pound PG and stays on the ground because he has been temporarily hurt or stunned.

Lebron is the size of the Gronk and when little guys run into Gronk, they bounce of him. When little guys hit Lebron he sails through the air.
I can't stand when he does that. LeBron is too big to try and flop the way he does.
Another one I will never forget was in 2010 in the finals when Ron or Metta flopped or tried to flop after Rondo pushed him. He knew Rondo was not that big and did not have that much of a force to have him flailing.

On the video, I don't know if they wanted this to be funny or not, but I laughed so hard at this video for a long time. The CP3, Hollins, Wade, and Parker flops were hilarious.

I don't like how open ended Violation 6 is: "Subject to discipline reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension."   I can't wait to see the big variations in Violation 6 for superstar player X and scrub player Y.

This could be huge problem when its the playoffs and guys like Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, LeBron flop and it would be their 6th violation.   You know those guys will just get a fine (if it's called at all).  Whereas if it's a just a regular guy like Reggie Evans, he'd get suspended.

Think about that, going into Game 7 of a playoff series, and LeBron flopped (for the 6+ time) in Game 6.  There's going to be a hue outcry when the league botches that one.

To build on that, will a players count continue into the playoffs, or does your count reset (like with technicals) and also go to a shorter schedule once the playoffs start?


After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class
