Corey Maggette doesn't get away with travels and he doesn't get favorable calls on the defensive end.

Because refs try to help out the players who suck.
MozGov: But in the game vs. Miami coach allowed me to smell the powder and face LeBron.

This.
I don't get it, Corey Maggette does not get phantom calls. He gets contacted a lot. It's not his fault he is taking people off his dribble and putting his opponents on thin ice.
LOL Post of the year!
I'm a Celtics fan and even I believe Lebron doesn't get many phantom calls. He may get some, but so do many other superstars. Lebron actually gets hacked most times he drives and doesn't get a call.

He's an amazing player, the causal basketball fan likes LeBron and he doesn't have much baggage unlike other superstars in recent basketball history. Refs have no reason not to favor him. He's simply the present and future of the NBA.

Does anyone know how much the referee pay increased during the Jordan years?

Whats more annoying it that basically the Refs dont have the nuts to call fouls against James. Considering his playing time and way to play and he is averaging what, 1,7 fouls a game? Thats a big lol...

Maggette doesn't get phantom calls, but HE the one who initiates the contact most of the time, I just wonder how a NON-star player like him gets to the line so often. He's usually the one jumping into his opponents.

Re: Why does LeBron James get so many phantom calls?
I like the fact that LBJ doesn't offensively flop nearly as bad as a lot of good offensive players (Chauncey, Kevin Martin, Jamison), but I think he works the refs a little too much.
When he's on the court, his team never commits a foul.

Re: Why does LeBron James get so many phantom calls?
It's the same problem with the league. There are two ways to call it, you assume there was a foul or you actually see the foul, with superstars if the ref thinks there could have been a foul he calls it, with the lesser players they actually have to see the foul.
Ref's just suck in the NBA.

There's no answer for this. If you're the better team, he doesn't matter anyways, you'll win.
