Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls?

What an awful tweet. Lol.

Straight from basketball reference with no context.

[Lunartic]

I'm a Lebron detractor but he absolutely doesn't get the calls he deserves, Jokic is another dude that gets hacked and the refs ignore it.
The NBA needs to actually allow for an automatic replay on gamewinning attempts, that was egregious. The Bulls have been cost at least 3 games now for clear and obvious fouls on gamewinners.

How many people in this thread actually realized that the game went into overtime and Westbrook played? Lol.

Wow, Westbrook made 2 good plays in the entirety of4th quarter and OT. So much impact. Can't believe the Lakers kept the game close with him sitting so much. Vogel must be a Lebron stan too. Benching Westbrook despite his obvious impact so Lebron can chase stats. Disgusting. Thankfully we have objective posters like you that actually watch the games to call these things out.

Yeah. Dude went into COLD as balls and still made plays to keep the Lakers in it. This is OBJECTIVELY true. Sorry. If he got burn in the 4th, it's possible that the Lakers wouldn't be in that position in OT.

But I'm under the presumption that most posters here didn't even realize that the game went into OT let alone Westbrook played.

So I'll fall back.

Exactly. What an amazing player. 2 whole plays despite being cold. You know how hard it is to bring energy against guys that are super warmed up from playing basically an entire quarter at the end of a game? If Vogel wasn't so blinded by his hate and actually played him, maybe he could have had 3 impactful plays.

Rules definitely need to be refined. I don't mind the refs missing that in real time, because that's normal. But there should be some governing body that allows something like that to do reviewed. Period.

What did Westbrook do to you?

Forearm is part of the ball. Clean block.

Well good thing LeBron will be home by then. Isn't it.

Did bronny cross you up in pick up game or somthing jeez lol

It’s psychotic at this point

Pathetic, actually. I check that poster and out of 10K+ posts, 3K+ is about LeBron James. Rent-free.

[ajones9219]

That s*** was nowhere near as obvious as the one last night

sure

When did I say it's not a foul clown? still nowhere near as obvious in real time as the one last night. The no-call on Bron 10x more inexcusable lmao

At absolute best it's about equally as obvious, realistically Tatum got fouled on both arms and across the shoulders. Lebron got hit on the wrist. How exactly is it nowhere near as obvious outside of the fact that you are a LeBron fan?

This is a regular occurrence and it costed Boston this game. Tatum's free throws are massively up this year because he is seeking contact but he gets hammered in the paint several times every game and gets crap calls and has gotten some of the softest techs in the league. Every player is the victim of bad calls but LeBron complaining is hilarious as he has absolutely gotten a friendly whistle his whole career. Arguing otherwise is goofy.

One of the filthiest dunks in recent memory and was also a CLEAR foul.

I'm trying to imagine Tatum rolling around on the ground on his hands and knees like a child though. Lol

That s*** was nowhere near as obvious as the one last night

I've seen countless no calls on last second plays over the years, and a ton about 5 times as blatant as the one on Lebron last night. They are rarely ever called and have to be flagrant like. Only a small percentage of no time on the clock calls ever get made.

The worst part is Lebron should have been T'd up for his post game antics. Techs have been called all year on players for a fraction of that type of reaction. And the fact the refs addressed the call post game was even more ridiculous. When was the last time the refs addressed a no call on any other star player, or non all star? These two incidents are next level favoritism toward Lebron.

What did Westbrook do to you?

What did Lebron do to you?

I'd like to see at least one of these calls which are "5 times as blatant" as the LeBron one because I find it hard to even imagine such a call. Got a link?

There are no youtubers who make "no call" videos. It's not a thing. Can't tell you how many games I've witnessed where the play was impacted more than here. Tatum grazed his arm, but Lebron's arm never moved because of it, and it didn't look like it altered the shot at all. Those "robbed of a foul" calls happen all the time at the end of games, even more so when a team will be tied afterward. They don't like to let games end on free throws and swallow their whistles.

[The Explorer]

It was a bad non call but this is happening throughout the NBA. The bulls got hosed out of 3 victories already this year. Other teams have gotten screwed in the L2M report as well.
Why is the NBA and media pandering to lebron by not even waiting for the L2M report to admit fault? I mean, I know the answer, but the basketball world shouldn't revolve around Lebron's Lakers. Other teams are dealing with the same thing.

These are some extremely homer glasses you must be wearing. Tatum hit LeBron hard on the arm just as he was releasing the ball and you are saying he grazed his arm and it didn't alter his shot at all? How often have you seen LeBron miss a layup by a mile from this close?

Pool reporters regularly speak to crew chiefs after games about particular calls. For example, here’s an additional pool report from last night on Valanciunas’ ejection. A few nights before that we got a pool report about Curry’s ejection. And so on. It happens all the time.

How about when Ginobli was raked across the arm here and lost the ball because of it. Couldn't even get a shot off, no free throws, and the Heat got it back and the Spurs had to foul. Lebron possibly doesn't win a title if this gets called.

LeBron has been the beneficiary of getting favourable calls his entire career, somehow this one didn’t go his way and was missed, keep your composure, regroup the squad and finish strong in overtime, weak leadership skills displayed.

Doubtful it's even discussed if Lebron didn't flip out and hop around like a baby frog on the court afterward. It's nowhere near as big a no call as it's made out to be. You can't compare it to ejections, which are major plays. A touch on the forearm call gets missed several times a game in most games. This was only an issue because it was Lebron. The Lakers flipped out a few weeks ago on a no call foul to end a game, where the refs had to assure them it wasn't and the contact was "high five" like after the ball was released. The Lakers are just looking for blame because of how bad they're playing this season.

This is the other thing. The Lakers straight gave up after that call and after LeBron had a meltdown.

He also walked off the court before the buzzer sounded. That's some sour patch kids like baby antics right there.
