Earlier today (May 23), Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green didn’t take to kindly to Thunder guard Russell Westbrook saying that his kick to Steven Adam’s in Sunday’s Game 3 was intentional. In response, he stated: “Russell said I did it on purpose, but he’s a part of the superstar group that started all this acting in the NBA.” The soundbite started a frenzy online, with folks debating on whether Westbrook is indeed one of the originators of “flopping.”
Many laid blame squarely on the shoulders of one LeBron James. One of the more vocal people online was Washington Redskins outside linebacker Junior Galette. Initially, Galette agreed with Green’s sentiments, but later reconsidered when he rememered that he too was guilty of flopping, which he has dubbed “LeBroning.”

Galette eventually found the clip of him, then #93 with the New Orleans Saints, tossing himself to the ground when Dolphins’ Richie Incognito bumped him.

Do you think Galette’s “LeBroning” was as effective as James?
