I feel like he is on one hand given a very long leash both offensively and defensively, meaning he can shove and hook and charge into people and not get called for it; on the other side i can see how he has to take a lot of contact himself when going to the basket and does not always get the call. So its not simple favorism but for some reason the officials seem to struggle to make the right calls on him. Which is why many fan bases are upset about the things he gets away with. It cant be explained with statistical distrubution or "evening out" when one player who plays very physical on both ends and who logs big minutes does not get called for a single foul in nearly 20 games. Whats your take on that?
This is true.
When lebron drives, he not going to the line unless he gets hacked. I distinctly remember a Green and1 over triston thompson last game, Lebron was getting the same contact every time down the court.
He's just making things up. LBJ has committed a foul in every playoff game and is averaging 3 fouls per game.
