All Of The Jokes Were Out After LeBron Milked An Eye Injury During The Play-In Game On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has a reputation of being kind of a flop artist (as well as one of the best basketball players of all-time). On Wednesday, he showed why he’s great, but also why he gets so constantly mocked for how he carries himself on the court.

Late in the fourth quarter of the play-in game, the Lakers were locked into a tight battle with the Warriors. LeBron drove to the rim, and got fouled hard by Draymond Green. LeBron really milked the injury, and stayed on the floor for a good while.

The refs went to the video to check on the foul by Draymond, and ruled that it was not a flagrant.

While LeBron continued to complain about his eye, many fans flocked to social media to joke on James milking an injury yet again.

Say what you will about LeBron faking being hurt, but he hit an incredible game-winner with less than one minute to go in the game.

After the game, LeBron continued to lament his “injury” to his eye.

“After Draymond’s finger to the eye, I was literally seeing three rims out there,” LeBron said. “I just shot for the middle one”
