Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sport
LeBron James knows exactly what you're trying to pull, Anderson Varejao.
With just over a minute remaining in the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love was whistled for an offensive foul on Varejao, who was his teammate earlier in the season.
After the play, James was overheard discussing the call with a nearby official, accusing the Brazilian big man of flopping.
"That's a flop," James said, according to The Vertical's Chris Mannix. I know him, and that's a flop."
