San Antonio Spurs’ rookie Jeremy Sochan called out Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar LeBron James on Twitter during Game 2 for flopping.
Sochan was referring to a play where Nuggets’ superstar Nikola Jokic was called for an offensive foul.
In a play in the fourth quarter, James deflected the ball from Jokic and seemingly sold the contact to the referees in a lose ball battle. Jokic did the same on Nuggets’ next offensive play and James was called for a defensive foul.
“Why does ‘King’ James flop so much?’ Sochan tweeted.
