    Look at LeBron's face in that .gif; is that the face of a crossover gone bad?

    And James has some of those "operatic death scenes" as well.

    Shot in the head, and Rose is to blame?

    I dont' know, I do know he didn't arch backwards and clutch his anatomy a la James Harden.


    OK, so that's one that matches Harden. Of course, he has about 5x as many minutes logged in his NBA career...can you find me 14 more?

    Aren't all the Harden and LeBron videos in this thread from the last 2 years?

    LOL @ back-paddling arguments. I can imagine if the guy really produced 14 more videos, you would say, "OK, wait till Harden has to carry the team like LeBron does." Sam, you are acting more and more like your nemesis DD.

    Yes or no question, in your opinion, who's a bigger flop artist, Harden or James?

    Follow up question - do you take into account touches/minutes/usage etc when coming up with your answer?

    Answer quickly, you never know when Harden might suffer a heart attack like he did above.

    or break his neck:

    I don't remember James flopping as much when he was in Cleveland. Maybe its based on who surrounds these guys. Kind of like I don't remember Blake Griffin flops before CP3 joined the Clippers although Blake wasn't in the league for very long before we started seeing his acting skills. Battier and Wade have trained James well in their Jedi mind tricks. Harden is just following the Trend better than most.

    Didn't realize J.R. Smith was the type of freight train Lebron is.

    I think we just all need to admit that both of these guys are floppers. Regardless of who flops more, putting up an argument for either is r****ded.

    I agree that Harden is a big flopper. Is he the worst in the NBA? Hard to say because there are so many world class floppers in the league it's really difficult to quantify which one is the worst.

    Now is James not as big a flop artist as Harden? Probably. But that doesn't say very much. It's kind of like asking, "Is Westbrook not as good a scorer as Kobe?" Well, probably, but who cares. They are both good.

    Yes. But you might as well account for the fact that James doesn't have to exaggerate his flops as much as other players because he gets calls a lot easier for being LeBron James.

    Lol, relax. I'm not trying to hate on your hero, bro.

    I'm just saying, LeBron has operatic death scenes too. I'm not saying LeBron is the king of flopping.

    Yeah Harden's flopping is pretty bad and only getting worse. Then again, it seems to be the pattern in the NBA for a lot of players now. LeBron has been pretty bad lately. Of course there's the Euros and the Clippers. It's getting out of hand.
