Knicks · This is another reason I don't like Lebron (missed play last night, game 4 finals) (page 1)

Stern got to end this type of play. AWFUL

No shame, no integrity to the game.

I guess it's one thing if you are hit and add a bit to it, but this is another level.

Perhaps some sort of coach's challenge should be implemented like in the NFL. It was clear, on review, that this was a sham. And great players like D-Wade and Lebron are masters of pulling it off.

There should be a fine and/or suspension in blatant cases. The league can review after games and if they determine it was undoubtedly a flop, fine and suspend the player.

big difference. I don't think LeBron was even touched on that play.

Lots of shades of grey

Dirk is flopping champion yet no mention of his flopping in the series.

uh, Dirk was clearly hit on that play. he created the contact, but that is a skill all the great players have. the announcers (who are Rockets announcers and biased) are wrong - Scola left his feet and broke the plane between he and Dirk. that is a text book foul.

On his play, Lebron FAKED the contact, dribbling into the corner on a move he clearly wasn't going to score on. it's pathetic.

You're right. I looked at it twice. Dirk probably exaggerated but he definitely was fouled.

Dirk was fouled and maybe accentuated the body contact to draw attention to the actual foul. As a fan, I have no prob with that.

LeBron and Bosh in a previous playoff game showed themselves to be pussy material.

quite frankly, I never remember that.

I remember him getting every touch foul. I remember the Pistons mugging him to death. But never like what LeBron pulled.

i dont either. i heard about from someone who played with him. i think it was will purdue. they said did other players hate him for it? he said no they started to do it themselves.

‘‘Jordan used to have this thing where he would shoot the ball and as he would follow through on the shot, he would hit his own wrist, so you would hear the slapping noise and the official would blow the whistle,’’ Perdue said.

Did that rankle Jordan’s opponents that the greatest player in the game would stoop to that level to get a break?

‘‘No,’’ Perdue said. ‘‘They started copying it.’’

How can you subtly hit your own wrist loud enough so that everyone hears it without what you're doing being obvious. I can't visualize that happening.

right. I would have to say that it's bogus.

Watching the series its seems to me that Lebron knows if Wade is in rythem and Bosh in engaged the team does do better. When Lebron takes over Wade gets headaches and Bosh vagina starts to hurt.

Anyone read Bosh wants his babymomma to bring the two year old into town so he can "share" the moment with her? Think its genuine or done for image? These guys come off as very shallow. Wade especially. He could have played in chicago and been with his kids instead of superfriends sausagefest.

Go Mavs!!!!!!!
