I don't think the Knockout game was as bad as the media made it out to be. The media likes to grab onto one issue and exaggerate it for views. Did it happen? Yes it did, but not to the extent that the media made it seem.

Still glad they're doing this instead. Probably not a lot of kids lebroning either.

Do we have statistics that show how bad it is?

No, most of these attacks are just classified as misdemeanor assaults, without video they don't get any media attention. There's also no way to classify a knockout attack, a hate crime has it's own penal law section that can be charged, but a knockout game attack has no such designation. Is it some threat to our society? Of course not. It is an issue that is, if anything, under reported.

I have a family member that works in Brooklyn's Central Bookings. So pretty much if you got arrested in Brooklyn you have come into contact with her. She did not notice an abundance of these Knockout game arrests. That is why I was wondering if there were statistics about it. Since there are no statistics that prove or disprove the amount of occurrences it would be hard to say how bad it is or is not.

This is much better than the knockout game, it's not really violent at all. The only person that could potentially really get hurt "lebroning" is the one doing the flop. If someone bumped into me and did this I would think it was pretty funny, where as the knockout game is just violent and dangerous.

I actually love this Lebroning thing. Hopefully it will make NBA player think twice about flopping in games. It irks me when I see a 7 footer get knocked down like a bowling pin when touched by a PG.

No offense to your cousin but someone who works in central booking would have limited access to any crime information. Assuming she is a police officer she would only have access to something called an online booking sheet, which pretty much sums up an arrest in a sentence or two. She wouldn't have any access to open complaints in which an arrest hadn't been made. If she isn't a cop then she would have even less access.

But my point is that it isn't over reported. I don't want to hijack a thread splitting hairs, and I guess I did start the hijack.

What a disgrace Lebron's flopping is. I don't care what other players do, if you want to be in the discussion of greatest player ever, you should respect the game more. Show me one single clip of MJ flopping. He got superstar calls, sure. But he wasnt a goddamn bitch about it. Yet another reason MJ will always be better in my mind.

phuck an a man... you nailed it. Ever since that dramatic show of him running around and crying after that Tyson Chandler pick where he clutches his neck I was disgusted by him. Especially since 3 minutes later he dunked from the foul line. Pathetic. Guys like the best athlete in the world, a powerful man and this?

Different generation I guess. At least the league is trying to address it now. You know its bad when they put in new rules.

it used to be a trick. Rodman used to kill Karl Malone with it. Divac was the most notorious but he would save it for big moments and get calls. Reggie Miller the same. But guys today treat it like drawing charges or boxing out like its a normal part of the game. Lebron kills me the most because he already gets a million calls AND he's one of the strongest fastest men in the world. For that is just strikes me as a pu$$y thing to do

I agree and yeah, Vlade was the master. Also agree for Lebron to do it is very weak. The only part of his game that he hasn't changed for the better.

You guys are right with the amount of BS calls he already gets it's ridiculous that he flops around like a little girl all the time

It really annoys me when players like Lebron, Durant, Wade and Harden all pull this crap- they're brilliant players, why do they have to cheat on top of everything?
