That is a bang bang play, both players going for the ball. Not sure if you play basketball, but this happens a lot. I wouldn’t get mad at someone if I get hurt when we’re both going for the ball. And it’s not like LeBron is known to do this. This is called an overreaction in other sports.


Btw that isn’t even what a chop block is :lol:

There is no rule in the NFL like the play you just saw. Go watch a fumble and see how many people dive

Sure, you are taking it too literally. But if going after fumble is how basketball should be played than of course that is not a foul.

Another dirty play from Lebron. Seen that move before in the 36th chamber of shaolin.
