Internet mocks LeBron for egregious flop
Social media was in no mood to let Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James off the hook for what was widely believed to be a deplorable flop on his part late in the second quarter.
James took quite the tumble after getting smacked in the face by a Tristan Thompson elbow, falling backwards in what many thought was heavily exaggerated on his part.
Since the internet has very little chill when it comes to matters like this, the memes were out in full force to make fun of James' Academy Award-winning performance.
