LeBron James Mocked By Chicago Bulls After 'Flop' Against Nazr Mohammad [Video and Gif]

Why was LeBron James mocked by the Chicago Bulls after being shoved to the floor by Nazr Mohammad during the second quarter the Eastern Conference Semifinal game 3 playoff match-up between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls last night?

It's a question few are really pondering: Why was LeBron James mocked after his game 3 tumble last night that led to Nazr Mohammad's ejection from game 3? The LeBon James mockery might have something to do with James being 6'8" 240 pounds and many fans in Chicago and players on the Chicago roster believing LeBron James flopped. Do you think it's fair LeBron James was mocked?

Even the adonis-like figure of the Miami Heat's superstar, Lebron James, can be criticized despite leading the Miami Heat to the 2012 NBA Title and USA Men's Basketball Team to an Olympic Gold in London during the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Was LeBron James mocked because the Bulls were upset after their game 3 loss to the Heat, 104-94, on their home floor of the United Center? The loss handed home-court advantage back to the Miami Heat after they fell to the banged-up Chicago Bulls team in game 1, so that's probably why LeBron James was mocked by the Bulls.

Chicago Bulls coach, Tom Thibodeau, told reporters after the game, "From my angle, I just saw a guy flop." The Bulls coach wasn't the only one mocking LeBron James.

LeBron James was mocked by little Bulls point guard, Nate Robinson, who said after the game, "You see LeBron in a lot of commercials, a lot of good acting." The LeBron James mocking didn't end there, either.

Nazr Mohammad joined the LeBron James mocking too, saying about his shove:

"I do believe it warranted a tech. We've had guys jumping on Nate's face, guys backing up Marco Belinelli out of bounds. There's been a lot of plays that didn't get ejections. A push shouldn't get an ejection. ...It was a cheap shot throwing me down."

Thibodeau was far from contrite about the incident after the game, opening up his remarks by saying "We're not going to get calls. That's reality." The rest of the Bulls fell in line and that's why LeBron James was mocked.

After LeBron was whistled for his foul on Mohammad and issued a technical after complaining about the foul, Mohammad was ejected for his ensuing shove of James. But was LeBron James mocked unfairly because many among the Bulls plus the Chicago fans in the stadium believed James sold the shove to get Mohammad tossed.

What do you think? Here's video of the incident in question.
