*LeBron James was trying to sell a flagrant 2 foul, and that’s why he aimed his head at a courtside camera to get that gash on his head during Game 4 of the NBA Finals – if you ask Golden State Warriors big man Andrew Bogut.
Bogut had delivered a hard foul to the Cleveland Cavaliers star Thursday night when he went flying into a cameraman sitting on the Quicken Loans Arena baseline in the second quarter of the Warriors’ 103-82 win.
But Bogut thinks James maneuvered himself in a vertical fashion before taking two steps as he fell toward the nearby cameraman.
“I think he jumped into the cameraman,” Bogut said when asked to give his perspective on the play. “Yeah, I think he came down and took two steps and then fell into the cameraman. I definitely, definitely didn’t hit him that hard.”
When the reporter replied by saying, “That’s how you saw it?” Bogut said, “No, that’s how it was. If you look at the replay, you can see the two steps being taken and then him falling into the camera. That’s what we saw on the replay, and that’s what my teammates saw.”
