The topic of LeBron James and other Lakers players flopping to draw fouls has been brought up a lot so far in the 2023 NBA playoffs.
James has denied that they work on flopping and says the team doesn’t flop at all. And then, well, he pulled off a flop so hard in Game 2 against the Nuggets that everyone on Twitter instantly calls him out.
One of those fans who wasn’t impressed with James’s fourth-quarter flop that drew a foul against Nikola Jokić was Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan. The 19-year-old power forward was apparently watching the Lakers-Nuggets game and tweeted this question after that bad flop by James:
Why does ‘King’ James flop so much?

That's pretty funny and also a question that a lot of people have been asking over the years.
But yeah, this was a bad flop:
