LeBron James Mocked: Chicago Bulls Accuse Miami Heat Star of Flopping After Push From Nazr Mohammed [VIDEO]

Being the best player in league usually means you have a target on your back. Unfortunately for LeBron James he has been one of the most highly criticized players in the NBA since joining the Miami Heat. The latest comes from Chicago Bulls players and coach Tom Thibodeau. The Bulls are alleging, or as some say, mocking James for flopping after Nazr Mohammed pushed him to the floor in game game 3 of their playoff series. The push from Mohammed resulted in an ejection.

James is no stranger to criticism since he joined the league with the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, since joining the Heat, James' detractors have reached a whole new level. First, it was over James' inability to win the big game. Now, after winning a championship with the Heat last season, detractors have focused on James flopping and getting the benefit of the doubt from the refs.

During game 3, Mohammed ran up to James to foul him, only to find himself thrown to the ground by James. Mohammed then immediately got up and pushed James who fell back. Referee Joey Crawford gave James a technical, but Mohammed was ejected from the game. You can watch the altercation below.

Now the Bulls are not only questioning the call, but mocking James for flopping. Bulls guard Nate Robinson said, "We see LeBron in many commercials, and he is a good actor." You don't have to look too far into that comment to see what Robinson is getting at.

Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said about the incident, "From my perspective, I saw a guy flopping...I'll stick to that. For me, it was worth an unsportsmanlike, but not ejection." Bulls forward furthered that statement, telling Y! Sports, "M.J. would get fouled and he would just keep playing...That's old-school basketball."

This isn't the first time the topic of NBA refs favoring James has come up. What do you think? Is James being treated differently because he is the star? Do you think James flopped in the video below? Comment below and share your thoughts.
