Thoughts on this new rule?
Bron might foul out a couple games this season.
Lebron finally is one of the greats. Having a rule made because of him
Great rule. Great call. He exaggerated. Acting like neo trying to duck shots. 😂
I hope there is an installment plan for the fine, 1st check can't come sooner
👏🏽 finally
damn they really gonna start getting acting lessons
ITS ABOUT TIME! 👍
That’s a forearm push-off to the face of the defender first. And Loose long hair makes it seem more exaggerated
I appreciate that the refs don't stop play right away but I think they should go a step further and review it on the next available timeout instead of assessing a tech right after the play. He was clearly elbowed which may be difficult to tell real time until you review the replay and slow it down. All the refs see in the moment is a player recoiling back, which if you're hit in the jaw you're gonna have some reaction to it. This begs the question though, does this mean that any reaction, if even slightly exaggerated and with contact or not, is going to be considered a flop? Whatever the case is I'm atleast happy that the league is doing something though. We'll see how this effects regular season games very soon.
First Flop call and they got it wrong lmao of course
Yea yes yes yes 1000 times yea
Good now $u$$ies like marcus smart can't get rewarded for flopping like a bish
that wasnt a flop wtf. bad call
miami heat and lakers would still get away
Have the people at Secaucus review it as soon as they see it.
damn it lakers
Atleast review it or the refs need to be sure with these calls. I don’t think it’s needed in the way it’s implemented right now. We know stuff has to be exaggerated at times because they may not call the right call otherwise either.
bro got hit and he's at fault
I like this!
Already the rule is failing…
Bro he actually got hit in the face how is that a flop. 💀💀💀💀
Why do they even need to add a rule? if a player flops it should just be a foul on the player who flopped.
I saw someone call it the Lebron James Harden Rule” lol
😂😂😂 that was mos def a flop… this ish is gonna be hilarious
Uh oh 😮 what’s Lebron gonna do now?
Marcus smart sweating hard rn 💀
LeFlop’s 9/11.
Lebron might retire
15k for a flop is crazy 🤣
Bad call that wasn’t a flop. He got hit in the face
The nba can now no longer be called a soft asz league
I don't like the ref making this call in game, it's about to be a nightmare this season watch
Another thing for refs to miss lol
Good intention but it is stupid rule. Just impose more higher fine or count toward future game suspension. potential flop should be review after a game. It is stupid rule to implement.
He got elbowed in the face! That’s no flop… players should be allowed to react to an elbow to the face. Come on…
Less Laker’s free throw attempt 🤔
Far too subjective. All this is going to do is create controversy.
How the fuck is that a flop.
Just let them flop. I love to see grown men flop around, gets me intensed
