Oh my god I can't believe it! At 3:10 the ref gives Erik a high five and Erik returns it by giving him a high five too. Man when I watched these games I didn't even notice the high five!!! Unbelievable...
@@careyrobinson7467 I mean this is kind of like enforcing the rules that don't exist when the other team is playing they get away with everything Miami when you play with them in 2012
well they aint flop as much as this heat team. they may have gotten phantom calls but they aint flop to get to 4 straight nba finals like this heat team
Um....how is it illegal for a privately owned business to fix their own outcomes? Remember, everyone is under a labor contract filled with anti-trust laws.
NBA players, refs, coaches and all personnel are all working for the same company. Each team is a franchise operated by the same organization. They're all under labor contracts and are told what to do by their employer. The NBA is filed under federal law as an entertainment entity, not legitimate competition. This has already been argued over and presented in countless supreme court and federal court cases. The NBA is legally allowed to fix their own outcomes.
I've watched both of these videos and first i thought this was ridiculous. I knew the heat were a flopping team, but i never actually took the time to look through these games like you did. the heat should not have won in 2012..
Hell game 5 was at their place when the home court alternates every two games. Since the Thunder had home court first, even if the heat did win in 5 games, Okc should've had 3 home and 2 away, not vice versa. That's how playoff and Finals Games go when it comes to where the team plays.
Before even watching this video I am going to say that game 6 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals Between the Lakers and the Kings was definitely without a doubt rigged in favor the Lakers however the NBA's definition or inturpretation of what a foul is by the refs has gotten in general totally ridiculous. The physicality of the playing defense in the NBA has been completely removed from the game for some reason. Its like they made fouling politically correct or something. I used to love the NBA but I cant watch it anymore because theirs just nothing to watch. The refs control the out comes of every game between two teams that are similarly good. Its all about who gets the bullshit foul calls at the end of the game and who doesn't and when I say BS foul calls I mean when a defender is just playing good defense and goes straight up to defend a shot and the ball handler drives into him and gets the call. The refs have more of an impact on the game then coaching or the bench players do. It truly is amazing if you watch an NBA game from the 90's and you compare it to now just how pussy the game has gotten. You literally aren't allowed to play defense on anyone their is absolutely no touching allowed its utterly INSANE. I dont understand the motive for the NBA to take it in this direction and the NBA's rating have proven that point.
LeBron got mad at that press conference we all have problems and the refs James wade bosh were all a big problem because they were protected. WITH GHOST CALLS FLOPS LOOKING LIKE A FISH
I mean it's simple he made no play on the ball or did anything basketball move. He lowered his shoulder to stop LeBron. It just looks bad because LeBrons bigger. Picture that being Chalmers, would you feel the same way if Fisher Just lowered his shoulder then?
Fisher did lean yes. The fact of the matter is that LeBron had plenty of time to shift. He charged straight into him. If you watched the play you see LeBron saw Fisher and instead of shifting to the side he charged straight into him full force. LeBron then lowered his shoulders and hit him square in the chest. Like if you watch the play and freeze at the contact you will see that Fisher changed his center of gravity but LeBron is the won who forced that much contact. Now we can argue if that's a Charge or Block but that's not really the point. The point is why is that Flagernt?
Webster Thomas I don't think it should have been a flagrant, but I see why it was. Fisher literally made no basketball move or action it was I'm gonna lower my shoulder and launch myself at you to stop you, is that fair? Could LeBron have moved quicker maybe, but you're going full speed your not thinking hey let me go around so he doesn't launch his self at me. And you figure a man LeBrons size if he really went into Fisher don't you think Fisher woulda fell? Just saying
yeah this is bad.... once you watch it again like this.... wow. i mean if I were Durant or Westbrook I would just sit in the middle of the paint and refuse to move. or just leave. what's the point of even playing at this point????
lebron has 3 rings. 2012 and 2016 were rigged. 2013 was saved by Ray Allen and LBJ had terrible series with multiple below 20 points games performances.........u talkin abouit MVP at that time. Thats his greatness,, built by superteam and Ref. and complained about superteam after lost to GSW 2.0 with durant.
The clip at 7.13 of LeBron is actually him talking about the people who rooted AGAINST him, who wanted him to fail. This was an interview that happened right after he & Miami lost to the Mavs in the 2011 finals. The whole speech goes, "All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. So they can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they got to get back to the real world at some point.".. I don't know why you made it look like he was bad mouthing his fans.
TheKYRw That's called a screen. He didn't slam into anything. This wouldn't have even been blinked at in the 80's and 90's. Much softer league now and seems much softer fans, like yourself.
The irony is that the heat shot a franchise low free throws last year, and they had 30 more personal fouls called on them rather than the spurs. Sometimes the free throws and calls depend on your offense more than just the officiating, for example, the Thunder coach runs terrible offensive sets that has onely one option. Compare this to the heat, and they have many options in most of their sets, so they have more flexibility to do things like draw fouls in comparison to teams like the thunder
shooting free throws isnt the only way that refs give special treatment to teams. especially against the heat, opposing star players get into foul trouble fast, which limits their minutes, helping the heat
Also, that game 4 outburst for Wade was the first game he had scored 20pts or more since game 2 of the first round...and the only round where he had a better average in the three main statistical categories, was in the first round where he one-upped his season average for rebounds and steals(but not points, we was down about 8ppg). Every other series, in those three stats, he was down compared to his season average.
Wade played good for the second half of the series. In game 4 where he scored 32 and Lebron had 33, no was was saying a word about how Lebron played, but instead about how Wade played awesome(which he did, with 6 steals as well). When superstar 1A is averaging 27/8/7, he's going to get more coverage than superstar 1B who is only getting 21/5/5. Not to mention 1A has 4 MVP's out of the last 5 years, and is by far the most popular and polarizing player in the league.
it's been that way for decades! The NBA is pushing for LeBron to succeed (and has successfully done so right now), because there's billions of dollars in endorsements, investments, marketing, royalties, networks, and ratings on the line. Same with Kobe/Shaq in the early 2000's, Jordan in the 90's, Bird/Magic in the 80's, and Russell/Wilt in the 60's & 70's.
it's funny how they kind of listened to Jeff. A lot of flops are still not getting called which is absolutely crazy, but I'm glad they made the rule this year. I completely agree with you about the NBA being rigged. without a doubt
flopping will never be down, because if they have to pay for it its nothing for them, they need to suspend the players its bullshit, there is much more flopping this season yeah some fines but thats nothing to their payment.
Worst calls imo are at these timestamps: 1:23(I think it's a foul but, flagrant? Really?), 2:00(commentator said it best), you spelled destroy wrong at 3:27, obvious flop at 3:34, 5:08-6:45(without the flop, I'm sure he could have had that call go his way. Commentator says it best again in that rant),
At 1:12 do not tell me that was a foul.Fishcer ran straight into Lebron after trying to get dominant position that's not legal and in most cases a flagrant 1 for excessive contact
Now make a video showing how the WARRIORS got every call in the 2015 series. They were doing all the flops and arm-hooking. I almost stopped watching Game 6 after Lebron got called for that charge against Iguodala. He's sliding left and impedes James' path; the definition of a blocking foul... I don't even know what a charge is anymore. Draymond Green puts his off hand on the guys shoulder when he jumps for a rebound, defensive 3 seconds on most every James backdown, James just in general not getting many calls when he drove to the rim... its ridiculous the amount of crap the Warriors got away with.
Westbrook MVP No Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love, and it still took them 6 games, you dipshit. Warriors had one hell of a fluke ride to the championship. Curry didn't have to play a full series opposite the other team's starting point guard. If Karma's real, it fucks the Warriors next season. They got lucky as shit.
Peter Schmiedicke u cavs fans have nothing to say since u contradict yourselves saying "we would've won if we had our starters" and "we would have won if warriors stopped getting calls becuz delly and lebron would destroy the warriors"
Hey man, actually after your comment what I did was to search for the famous floppers on Wikipedia and it was very "exciting" for me to find Bosh, Battier, James, Wade there on that list !! :) It all proves that when we say that the Heat are the greatest flopping team in the world - we say the real thing !!! :)
Even tho he now bought and rarely criticizes the league anymore.... Vangundy is a big reason why there is a flop rule and why at least some of this garbage has been cleaned up. THE LEAGUE IS STILL A JOKE THO!!!
this is bullshit, there should be much greater fines for flopping or players should be suspended for half of a game; this is cheating, flopping should be addressed more during a game than after a game. the refs were making way too many bad calls in that finals for them not to be cheating.
Dude, the points you're making in the video don't add up. I think you're just a closed-minded hater that can't stand the idea that LeBron won a chip. You can't appreciate greatness, and that's sad.
Vergel Cayabyab Lol did you see you idol dancing at 2:29? He clearly got screened by Chandler and then after the screen, he intentionally flailed his arms and fell on the ground rolling around. C'mon man, be honest.
The guy's vid clearly shows he has no understanding of the fundamentals of calling charges. The Haslem vs Durant and the Bron vs Durant charges are an example. Totally different. Durant took a charge and he hit LeBron to the side. Haslem took the hit to the chest. Big difference.
It is extremely obvious I was just using that possible scenario to introduce the fact that a compilation of apparently bad calls, such as this video, has next to no validity. If you have nothing that can actually be categorized as part of an argument, don't respond.
I'm not saying that they were all wrong, I'm just saying that a block is when the contact to the defender is happening when he is still moving on an interceptive path. And some of those the guy just tripped on his shoelace or something, not a foul, but not a flop either.
1 thing people don't and will not understand....is that the NBa CAN LEGALLY fix or alter their league to decide outcomes for whomever they want to win. NBA is still a business, and an entertainment venue for their "fans" to watch. If the NBA wants to decide, fix, rig, or alter who they choose to win to maximize their profits, it's perfectly legal for them to do that. NBA is an employer, and the referees are employees. If Stern tells his refs what to do, they are simply just "doing their job".
I'm a Thunder fan and beginning to be a Golden State fan and I like Damien Lilard, and I do agree with the vid. Yes the Thunder also did some flopping I'm that Finals but I feel it was only them reacting to the Heat because in the NBA, whoever has the favorite ends up winning 75% of the time. Only times in recent years when the underdog won was GS, Mavs, and SA. Because if you watched that Heat vs SA Finals (First Time), some if those calls were just awful and in Game 6, all that stuff leading up to the most lucky 3-pointer in NBA history, there were some bogus ass calls. The second time, when they just played each other straight up, the Spurs absolutely dominated the Heat, coaching and player wise. Which proves coaching and players matter in the playoffs. The thing that kills it though are when lesser teams beat better teams because of officiating. Because if the NBA was fair, then then GS would've had a way better opponent then the Rockets in the Western Conf. Championship then the Rockets, I'm sorry. When you put a team who lives on James Hardens bad calls against a team that has actual coaching and talent, you will loose every single time, unless the better team just doesn't show up to play, that's the only time.
What is sad is folks who want to see lebron win smile at this if my team won like this i would at least admit the bs but thats why kd went to golden state
itsDedubs lies, wrong! You're absolutely right, there's no videos of Michael Jordan flops. I grew up watching the 80's and 90's NBA, he did not flop. The Wikipedia says that the list of famous floopers (players) include: LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Battier and other players. There's no MJ on the lists. Magic didn't flop, Bird didn't flop, Pippen didn't flop, Ewing didn't flop, Robinson didn't flop. itsDedubs is definitely wrong!
I love it 6`8 240 lbs LeBron James leads with his shoulder into 6`1 210 lbs Derrick Fisher, and Fisher is called with a flagrant
yeah ficherwas pretty strong even for a 61 210 pound man who intended to foul LeBron jamaes

pretty obvious the NBA fixed Miami Heat to win those Finals. Unfortunately, it's not illegal, and perfectly allowed for that to happen.
Um....how is it illegal for a privately owned business to fix their own outcomes? Remember, everyone is under a labor contract filled with anti-trust laws.

flopped need a bigger punishment, hibbert says "no homo" and get fined $75K, LeBron flops and gets fined $5K
this has changed my entire view of the nba and the heat. now i want the spurs to win
This is how I felt when I watched my high school play against Aaron Gordon. This ALWAYS happened when we played Aaron Gordon.
The 2012 NBA Finals should be reviewed and the referees involved should get some kind of formal punishment e.g. firing/replacing.
the problem is that its not the refs choice they're told to do this and i'm pretty sure its that stupid bitch david stern
firing/replacing an employee for doing what they're told to do?
I think you should read up on the Donoughy trial for proof of that!
i just want to tell this but on kobe why are refs afraid to call on him ?? coz maybe he knows basketball and calls really well

Hey man, actually after your comment what I did was to search for the famous floppers on Wikipedia and it was very "exciting" for me to find Bosh, Battier, James, Wade there on that list !! :) It all proves that when we say that the Heat are the greatest flopping team in the world - we say the real thing !!! :)
I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS
And here I thought NBA was "grown-man", professionally basketball organization.
Kobe or MICHAEL JORDAN THE G.O.A.T. never needed to flop....or never did
actually. Im not from the U.S...
Lebron James's salary: 19.07 million USD (2013)
NBA's Fine: 0.005 million USD
Total: 19.065 million USD
They sure showed him.
Who's guy at end
Even tho he now bought and rarely criticizes the league anymore.... Vangundy is a big reason why there is a flop rule and why at least some of this garbage has been cleaned up. THE LEAGUE IS STILL A JOKE THO!!!
Listen to the commentator he speaks the truth about flopping
U COULD HAVE TALKED!! U DOING ALL THAT WRITING NOW U FLOPPING!!!!
this is bullshit, there should be much greater fines for flopping or players should be suspended for half of a game; this is cheating, flopping should be addressed more during a game than after a game. the refs were making way too many bad calls in that finals for them not to be cheating.
Dude, the points you're making in the video don't add up. I think you're just a closed-minded hater that can't stand the idea that LeBron won a chip. You can't appreciate greatness, and that's sad.
Vergel Cayabyab Lol did you see you idol dancing at 2:29? He clearly got screened by Chandler and then after the screen, he intentionally flailed his arms and fell on the ground rolling around. C'mon man, be honest.
The guy's vid clearly shows he has no understanding of the fundamentals of calling charges. The Haslem vs Durant and the Bron vs Durant charges are an example. Totally different. Durant took a charge and he hit LeBron to the side. Haslem took the hit to the chest. Big difference.
It is extremely obvious I was just using that possible scenario to introduce the fact that a compilation of apparently bad calls, such as this video, has next to no validity. If you have nothing that can actually be categorized as part of an argument, don't respond.
I'm not saying that they were all wrong, I'm just saying that a block is when the contact to the defender is happening when he is still moving on an interceptive path. And some of those the guy just tripped on his shoelace or something, not a foul, but not a flop either.
Please tell me how they earned it with all of the bad calls. Even most Miami fans know they were given the championship.
Lebron does get treatment just because he is the best player dosent mean anything
We must have a NBA Hater to be the ref!
Wait why was game 5 on he road for the thunder? Game 5 and (if there was) a game six it should've been in Oklahoma
the worst flagrant foul in nba history
1 thing people don't and will not understand....is that the NBa CAN LEGALLY fix or alter their league to decide outcomes for whomever they want to win. NBA is still a business, and an entertainment venue for their "fans" to watch. If the NBA wants to decide, fix, rig, or alter who they choose to win to maximize their profits, it's perfectly legal for them to do that. NBA is an employer, and the referees are employees. If Stern tells his refs what to do, they are simply just "doing their job".
This commentary is goated.
I think they should allow coaches to force reffs to watch instant replay at questionable plays
Not because they're good, because they have so many ignorant "fans".
2:40
Smoove: Oh, look at that dolphin dive!
I'm a Thunder fan and beginning to be a Golden State fan and I like Damien Lilard, and I do agree with the vid. Yes the Thunder also did some flopping I'm that Finals but I feel it was only them reacting to the Heat because in the NBA, whoever has the favorite ends up winning 75% of the time. Only times in recent years when the underdog won was GS, Mavs, and SA. Because if you watched that Heat vs SA Finals (First Time), some if those calls were just awful and in Game 6, all that stuff leading up to the most lucky 3-pointer in NBA history, there were some bogus ass calls. The second time, when they just played each other straight up, the Spurs absolutely dominated the Heat, coaching and player wise. Which proves coaching and players matter in the playoffs. The thing that kills it though are when lesser teams beat better teams because of officiating. Because if the NBA was fair, then then GS would've had a way better opponent then the Rockets in the Western Conf. Championship then the Rockets, I'm sorry. When you put a team who lives on James Hardens bad calls against a team that has actual coaching and talent, you will loose every single time, unless the better team just doesn't show up to play, that's the only time.
No lickiest shot ever was this year (2015) Anthony Davis. Thunder vs Pelicans
What is sad is folks who want to see lebron win smile at this if my team won like this i would at least admit the bs but thats why kd went to golden state
5:43 VAN GUNDY SPEAKS THE TRUTH
It's no wonder why Jeff van Grundy doesn't commentate as much anyone cause he spilled the beans
itsDedubs lies, wrong! You're absolutely right, there's no videos of Michael Jordan flops. I grew up watching the 80's and 90's NBA, he did not flop. The Wikipedia says that the list of famous floopers (players) include: LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Battier and other players. There's no MJ on the lists. Magic didn't flop, Bird didn't flop, Pippen didn't flop, Ewing didn't flop, Robinson didn't flop. itsDedubs is definitely wrong!
