Flopping has become a part of basically every sport. Whatever fan you’re a sport of, you probably like to make fun of other sports for their flopping, but nobody has avoided this trend.
Of course, it’s not always bad, sometimes your team can get a call because of it and, more importantly, sometimes we all get to laugh at someone who has a hilariously poor attempt at drawing a call. The one that comes to mind recently is the LeBron flop from the 2016 NBA Playoffs.
In a game against the Raptors, LeBron hit the deck well after his own teammates arm touched his face and the internet ridiculed him for it. Still, the Raptors ended up with a technical foul on the play. Perhaps that’s what this high-school player was thinking when he tried to enter into a scuffle on the court, got pushed and fell over a couple of seconds later.
We’re not positive, but it doesn’t look like he got the call on the play. A couple of seconds earlier and he might have had a shot, but at least he’s getting a viral video out of it. We’re pretty sure if any high-school kid was presented with the opportunity to get clout or a couple of free throws, they’re taking clout every day.
After all, it appears as if this young man can get up.
Highlight reel dunks on social media turned Zion Williamson into one of the top prospects in the country and he’ll now play at Duke alongside RJ Barrett next season. Who knows who will be the next big social media prospect.
