Milwaukee Bucks big man Brook Lopez wasn't particularly happy that Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat got a foul call for flopping. And to catch the referee's attention, Lopez decided to reenact the flop.
Peep the clip below to see Lopez's Oscar-worthy rendition of Adebayo's flop. Lopez is known for his wild antics on and off the court, but this latest shenanigan definitely takes the cake.

Lopez's behavior is pretty understandable. Not just because Adebayo definitely flopped, but the Bucks do have some strong emotions against the Heat. After all, the Heat did boot out the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Many thought that it'll be the Bucks who'll represent the East in the NBA Finals especially since they had the best record in the league, but the Heat shut down these predictions.
For those who are not familiar with Lopez's acting skills, check out the clip below. Lopez and the Bucks have this entertaining pre-game ritual involving where they act like professional wrestlers. From the looks of it, this pre-game ritual served as the training ground for Lopez's acting chops.

It's been a relatively good early season for Lopez. So far, he's averaging 8.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across 22.0 minutes per game. In their previous game with the Heat, where they set the NBA record for most 3-pointers with 29, Lopez knocked was 3-of-4 from downtown. It wasn't long ago when Lopez didn't have that reliable jump shot in his arsenal, but the big man has definitely adapted to the changing times.
