Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has pretty much won it all throughout what has been an illustrious career. One award he has not bagged, however, is an Oscar. Well, leave it to the internet to change that.

For some, LeBron's reaction to the foul was excessive. Some even accused the Lakers superstar of trying to sell the call with the hopes of the game officials calling a flagrant foul on Green.

LeBron was involved in a similar incident in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. James was clutching his left shoulder following a loose ball foul on Suns guard Chris Paul that left LeBron on the ground for a good minute. As usual, James was criticized again for allegedly being too overdramatic. Suns fans are surely going to get a good laugh out of this now-viral clip.
