Who says that you can't shield the ball? Players like Giannis and LeBron are literally pushing people off. That's not basketball.



If you think lebron, who averages less free throws a game than KD, gets a favorable whistle, you are an idiot, which as everyone knows, you are.


It's enough that he bulldozes through defenders, if anyone should be called for a foul, it's him, not a defender.



Yep. It should be an offensive foul or a no call. You shouldn't be able to just create contact and get a call like that. It's lame.

It's not just LeBron, though. It's half the league. Even smaller guys like Trae Young and Morant will go out of their way create unnecessary contact when they drive to the basket just to get a foul call.

Seems inconceivable he could do these things but not shoulder ram a defender backwards.

On another note, I have not watched much of him yet but I wonder how much of Palao’s game will be shoulder dip drives ala James.

Someone is going to have to explain to me what happened between the 5:31 and 5:33 mark of this video. How does the ball bounce that high?
