      Re: "LeBroning" Officially a thing!

      One way or another, I personally as just one person think that the current best player in the world and an all time top 5 (realistically probably top 3) player of all time finds it neccesary to flop. I don't like ANYBODY flopping including Lance, however in the case of LeBron I take special offense to it, because he is still the best player in the world if he doesn't do that, and it overall contributes to the whiny, entitled attitude that makes me not like to watch him play.

        LeBron only flops when the games matter.

        We need to revive this in May.

          Cause he's bigger, stronger, and faster than just about any other earthling. Example: LeBron bumps my chest and I go flying - at least somewhat believable. I bump LeBron and he goes flying - Stupid.

          Also, LeBron's flops tend to involve arms windmilling around, flailing, yelling, grabbing the head, and 10 feet of trip to the ground.

            I can't believe that any honest Pacer's fan would get on this thread and try and hijack it to make it about Lance. I'm assuming you are all just trolls, but if not, why don't you create a "Lance is worst flopper in history" thread and see how it goes? At least the comments there would be relevant, as opposed to the ones in this thread, which is about LeBroning.

                Because the best player in should be able to play effectively, without cheating? Crazy thought, right?

                  When you see a 6'8" 250 lb player flail around like he just got shot after being nudged by a smaller SG or PG it is so aggravating. I hate flopping in all forms, but the way Lebron whines, flails around, grabbing his head, and sulking just induces a huge eye roll. Throw in the fact that he is one of the greatest players ever who should not have to resort to that crap.

                  Though I do not blame him because the refs let them get away with. Hell, I cannot blame any players for doing it.

                  This is a problem because the NBA has allowed it to get to this point.

                    Lebron is the worst flopper because he is typically the biggest guy on the court. I think he flopped last year vs DJ Augustin, which was hilarious

                      Lance exaggerates contact to make sure the foul gets called. Absolutely.

                      In the LeBron-DWest video which gets shown a lot, LeBron just outright makes up contact to try to get a call. I think that's the major difference.

                      That, and Lebron is the best player in the world. He doesn't need to ever flop.

                      I understand that for equal contact the other guy is going to move more than LeBron. LeBron is very likely bigger and stronger. Tough. If being bigger and stronger is a disadvantage, then work on loosing some muscle mass and stay out of the gym. :-)

                      And Wade does it 100 times worse that LeBron. It should be called "Wading".

                        Lance only flops because he views himself as a superstar. He really believes he is just as good as James. When he sees James flop, he figured that's what star players are supposed to do.

                          Jesus I'm not trying to hijack a thread I just think it's funny that this "Lebroning" has come now instead of the playoffs last year or the year before. I should have known saying one positive thing about Lebron and one negative thing about Lance would cause this shitstorm.

                          I'm sorry PD, I'm sorry to my family, I bow out with full regret. I'm sorry for ever disparaging a Pacers player in favor of Lebron.

                                Seriously, on a Pacers forum did you expect 100% agreement on everything you said? The general responses have been to admit that Lance flops, just to disagree that it is worse than Lebron. Don't get all drama llama and act like anything more than a couple of posters have been completely against you.
