I have heard Lebron interviewed and he has stated he has to exagerate contact at times when driving to the basket or it does not get calls that others would do to his strenght. Well the Video deffinlty shows he does it more then just driving to the basket. And we wonder why young players are doing this.

I just posted this in another thread. I see where Smart gets it, he's trying to be like Lebron

Wow. That's pretty bad. Does the NBA fine players for that?

 

[CoachTalk]

They fine players, just not the superstars...

Not even close and never will be.

Agreed. But there's a difference in emphasizing a legitimate call and flailing your arms or flopping on one that was never there in the first place.

Smart is a good player, maybe even great at times. But if he continues to try and draw fouls that aren't there the way he does now, he'll get a reputation that will not endure him to other players or the officials. NBA officials don't take kindly to players who try to show them up.

I don't know how anyone can call it Lebroning, Dwyane Wade has been making a living off of it since the 2003 NCAA tournament.

Lebron has played close to 400 games with the heat & that's all they can come up with? He's far from a flopper. Haters have to hate on greatness.

You could compile a worse flopping video of smart in a week & he's just a mediocre college player.

Everyone does it a time or two. But the reason I pointed it out its become a thing to video tape for teenagers. I think it points out the ridiculousness that flopping has gotten too. Lebron is awsome and the best currentl player, but some of the flops on that video are pretty apparent. At least in those, he did not do a great job of hiding it.

More Lebroning. The kids are doing it now.

The video would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
