3 moments LeBron was accused of flopping
The freight train that is LeBron Raymone James stands 6-foot-8 and weighs in at roughly 250 pounds. Simply put, it's going to take quite a bit of force to knock The King on his keister during the flow of an NBA game.
James has reportedly been frustrated with league officials this season, as it pertains to the lack of foul calls he receives despite all the hacking and slashing from defenders. That could explain his knack for occasionally exaggerating contact - if that's how you perceive it, anyway.
Stemming from Draymond Green's flagrant-1 foul on LeBron midway through the second quarter of Monday's meeting with the Golden State Warriors, here are three other times the Cleveland Cavaliers star has been accused of putting on an Academy Award-winning performance.

LeBron sells shot from his teammate
Like the Energizer bunny, James toppled backward and kept going, going, going ...
It wasn't even DeMarre Carroll's arm that smacked LeBron, but instead Cavaliers teammate Tristan Thompson who was the accidental culprit.
If you visit the Air Canada Centre this season, you could probably still find James rolling around the arena after last year's Eastern Conference Final.
Pacers set trap, to no avail
Getting trapped near the sideline with David West and Danny Granger all up in his business allowed James to seize the day, throw his hands in the air, and wave 'em like he just don't care.
It's clear that no one touched LeBron, which the referee also took notice of by not blowing his whistle. A tip of the cap to James for still trying to get one called on one of the two Pacers, though.
Miami maintained possession, so at least James' convulsion resulted in something positive for his side.
The wink
Can Spalding basketballs be whistled for personal fouls, because if there was ever an instance for that to be the case, it was this occasion.
Derrick Rose - playing for Chicago - deflected the ball upward into James' chin, which LeBron played off as if he'd received a straight uppercut to his moneymaker.
The wink afterward was a dead giveaway that the former Heat star essentially got away with murder. Hey, if it works, why not ... right?
