Video of LeBron James peeking to see if referee fell for his flop goes viral

Another angle showed just how embarrassing the flop was by James. He was spotted on the television broadcast briefly uncovering his face to peek over at the referees and then going right back to covering his face again before eventually being helped up by his Lakers teammates. Take a look below.

James did manage to successfully draw the offensive foul call on Randle, wiping away the basket (even after the Timberwolves challenged the call). But that was definitely the face of a man who was trying to see just how much longer he had to keep up the theatrics in order to dupe the referees.

The 21-time NBA All-Star James is an unquestioned all-time great, but his chronic flopping over the years has hurt his image in the eyes of many fans. That peek-a-boo moment against the Timberwolves on Tuesday might have been even worse than the last shameful flop that James produced during the playoffs.
