LeBron James is a great player. Still, he has gained a little reputation for over-exaggerating the effects of contact during games despite being one of the strongest players in the NBA.

When the Cleveland Cavaliers played the Toronto Raptors in Game 3, LeBron unleashed a flop that had the internet stirring.

LeBron was accidentally hit in the face by his own teammate, Tristan Thompson, and fell backwards as if he was shoved unknowingly by the force of a man twice his size.

If you guessed that the internet would never let him live it down, then you were correct. Let's see some of the hilarious posts that paid homage to LeBron's memorable flop.
