Not because it's Lebron but more so because it's Dillion Brooks- they are going to upgrade it later today- from the baseline view it looks like he did shyt on purpose.
He won't don't it because he cares too much about image(not because he's soft), I do want Lebron to get up one day and lose his shyt.
Nah that's Chess. Him getting up and fighting Dillon is exactly what Dillon wants. Dillon does weird shyt all game to provoke nikkas and get them to react. He literally did the same thing to Vando....shoving him out the air and when Vando finally reacts he gets himself tossed then Dillon is out there damn near getting off about it.
Thats why its smart as hell that Bron flails and flops cause it's either Dillion has to stop the dirty shyt cause all the attention is being brought to it or he's getting tossed out the game.
I swear this nikka cares about provoking and agitating players more than winning the damn game.
Brooks has done more egregious things than this. It's not on the level of
Go look at the replay. Vando was looking at the rim to make sure he finished the dunk before he even commits to selling the call. He was mid-air when he started making faces. I know a push in the back can be dangerous on a dunk attempt, but he had his reaction ready before we even saw the result. A hard push makes the landing difficult due to momentum of a player's body in air. He had enough control of his body to make sure he sticks the landing before falling out on the floor.
If he was really upset, a natural response would've came the moment it happened. Nah, he waited a few possessions later when refs were around to get in the middle of it. The push and fingerpoke when his back as turned was so light that Brooks couldn't help, but be
. Donovan Mitchell would've been so disappointed at his "response"
And Bron needs to work on his acting chops. Now we've seen him take some hard shots, bad falls, awkward landings and bounce right back up like nothing happened. However, it's the ticky tack stuff that has him laid out on the floor the longest. He deadass was on the floor longer last night than when he actually broke his nose when he dunked on Ibaka back in his Miami days.
Tried to get Brooks out of there just like they tried to with Draymond 2 days ago when he intentionally fouled AD.
Off all the things Brooks has done this is at the bottom of the totem pole. If Bron was smart he'd find a way to get Brooks on the team like MJ with Rodman and Kobe with Artest
Lebron had more smoke for the refs than Dillon
