LeBron James continues to evoke strong emotions among basketball fans, particularly regarding his alleged tendency to flop. In a recent playoff matchup, a moment during Game 2 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves sparked significant debate. While Timberwolves forward Julius Randle made only minor contact with James, the officials called an offensive foul on Randle, a decision that was controversially upheld after review.

The incident escalated when James fell to the ground, briefly covering his eyes, and was captured on video seemingly peeking before burying his face again. This moment quickly went viral, reigniting discussions about his history of flopping. Despite this, the Lakers managed to secure a 94-85 victory, leveling the series after a tough Game 1 loss.
