Poll: Will Fines Be Handed Out for the Lebron James-David West double flop?

Here's the play (also discussed in this thread:



Follow-up question:

Will Lebron get fined for complaining about the refs?

[CelticConcourse]

No chance.

[Boris Badenov]

I don't know, but if there are no fines for flopping on that play, then the anti-flopping policy is utterly meaningless.

Lebron could punch Mrs. Stern in the face and not get fined. And if it was in a celebrity game he could do it and she would be called for a foul.  He could also say he thinks every official is a murderous spy and that Stern is a transgendered Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. and he would definitely not get a fine.

[Celtics4ever]

I agree, LeBron is the golden child.   I bet he is safe from fines.   He could sleep with Stern's wife and no fine.

[slamtheking]

the next fine Lebron gets will be the next time he parks his car in Cleveland.  he'll never see a basketball-related fine in his career.

[LooseCannon]

he'll never see a basketball-related fine in his career.

He has paid a non-zero amount in fines for his career so far.

[SparzWizard]

Stern logic:

David West gets fined.

LeBron James walks away free.

[syfy9]

Stern would rather fine himself than fine Lebron.

[CelticConcourse]

I don't know, but if there are no fines for flopping on that play, then the anti-flopping policy is utterly meaningless.

Fact of the matter is, they are.

Only West will get fined, because LeBron doesn't flop...Or foul...Or travel...or cover up his balding spot with a double headband....

[Afam]

****. This way some people don't take basketball seriously. This is the worst flop I have ever seen.

[Clench123]

I didn't think David west flopped in that clip

[jambr380]

This one's really all on Lebron. David West was just responding to what Lebron was doing and at least took an arm to his chest...Lebron literally just flopped for absolutely no reason. He is better than that and probably should be fined - although we know that most likely won't happen.

It looked that way to me, West just spun off him with his arms up like hey I didn't even touch this guy. It's sped up in the gif so it looks a little worse still LeBron tumbled to the ground like he was hit by a sniper in the nosebleeds.
