Game 1 of the NBA Finals saw the Golden State Warriors dominate the Cleveland Cavaliers, 104-89, to take a 1-0 lead. In the game, however, it looks like Anderson Varejao decided to do a little bit of flopping.
The center drew a rather questionable foul on former teammate Kevin Love. Varejao went down pretty hard and it looked like the Cavalier barely touched him.

Of course, Love was not happy about the call as he argued with the referee, but ultimately took his medicine. However, Love’s teammate, LeBron James, who also used to play with Anderson Varejao in Cleveland, called him out in the postgame press conference.
LeBron james to the referee after that offensive foul on Love, taken by Varejao:
"That's a flop. I know him, and that's a flop."

Those are some pretty strong word coming from James, the NBA king of flopping. He does know Varejao pretty well, so maybe he has some merit behind his accusations.
Despite that, however, this does seem like the pot calling the kettle black here. If you don’t believe me, just look at James’s history with flopping.
