In the second quarter of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Cleveland's Kevin Love drove to the basket against Golden State's Anderson Varejao and got called for an offensive foul.

Love immediately looked at the official and said, "That's a flop."

Varejao spent the first 11 seasons of his career in Cleveland plus the first 31 games of this season before coming over to Golden State, so both the new and old Cavaliers are familiar with him.

LeBron James knows Varejao probably better than anyone, so it's interesting that he also looked at the ref after the foul on Love and said, "That's a flop. I know him, and that's a flop."

Was it a flop? Eh, probably.

But when there's a 5.5-minute video on YouTube titled, "LeBron James Flop Compilation," it's a little hard to win that argument.
