Video: Meet LeBron James' flopping coach
Needless to say, Miami Heat's LeBron James not only has a reputation as arguably the best player in the NBA, but he also has a reputation as one of the most prolific floppers in the NBA. His flop may even be better than San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili's.
From passing glances from an opposing player's arm which causes LeBron great agony to a light tap of a player's hip leading him to fall to the court in a heap, James has perfected the art of flopping like no other. But where did LeBron perfect this tactic? Who taught him the art of flopping?
Well Coach Frank Calhoun that's who!
Check out this hilarious sketch comedy for Cleveland's (of course it would come from Cleveland) "Rizzo Show" which gives Heat and Spurs fans Coach Calhoun, Lebron's flop sensei including some of Calhoun's moments as as the original flopper.
Also, Coach Calhoun prides himself in showing Ginobili how to flop but considers LeBron his prize pupil of all time.

There are plenty of players more qualified than San Antonio Spurs' Boris Diaw to defend LeBron James. Many have comparable athleticism (Paul George, Andre Iguodala), many have long arms to shut off his driving angles (Kawhi Leonard), and many have length (Kevin Durant) to bother his shot. The best defenders have a combination of the aforementioned attributes.
Spurs bigs. They have to make effective outlet passes to their guards, and more than a few transition buckets were generated by a couple of three pass sequences in which the ball barely (if at all) touched the hardwood. Boom, boom, boom, bang. The ball whirred from each destination to the next with little dribbling in between, giving Miami's defense little time to adjust.
