(even though he ranks in the top 3 for flopping)
Not even. Wade, CP3, Ginobli. LeBron probably isn't even Top 10. Besides, LeBron has stated 100x that he is almost forced to flop on drives because if he doesn't he won't get the call because of his size. The refs just assume that someone of his stature can handle the contact. Kind of like when Shaq played. It always happens to the physical freakish athletes in the NBA so they have to sell contact more than they should have to.
That's the whole point. He is too mentally weak to learn how to deal with it. He plays like a total bitch already in the pussified 2010s NBA. Like tarrant said, I cant imagine him going up against Bad Boys, Reggie Miller or Barkley. He'd be crying by 2nd quarter.
As mentally weak as Jordan was when the Pistons were beating the fuck out of him and he couldn't do anything about it for two seasons? He got tossed from the playoffs twice by hard & physical play.
Besides, Jackon admitted the scandalous book changed Jordan and made the dynasty possible:

Before that book came out Jordan was a complete asshole who wanted to shoot 50x a game and physically beat his teammates during practice. The bad press from that book that Jordan suffered forced him to change (along with the triangle offense) and to be more of a team player.
It just makes me laugh that Jordan had to completely change in order to win but none of you think LeBron is capable of it, despite him already doing so lol.
It's just bullshit to say LeBron couldn't dominate in a physical era when he is 6'8 280 and as fast as he is. Sure hand checking was allowed blah blah but the shit HE would be allowed to do on the offensive end would only help his game. He could literally throw himself into the paint over and over without worrying about charges and other bullshit. He could have a lead arm and push off on his way to the rim, etc etc.
You can barely stop LeBron when he puts his head down and drives now there would've been no way to do so back then.
That's pretty damn spot on. LeBron and Scottie are very similar in not only their game, but mental make up. Lebron would be so much better with a player like Kobe that would be willing to step up in all the big moments and lead the team. LeBron is just too nice of a guy to be that assassin that all the greatest players are and were.
I guess you missed all of last year's playoffs and this year's playoffs up to now. LeBron has been doing all the closing and carrying of this Heat team all playoffs. The Big 3 has been missing almost every series and he has been doing it alone. Game 1 of the ECF? All LeBron. Boston series last year? LeBron.
All that choke mental blah blah shit was cool before he took over the playoffs and won a title but it's all bullshit trolling now.
