It's interesting to total up the L2M stuff, but saying definitively who did or didn't get screwed based on roughly 4.16% of the game doesn't make sense.

Had the clearest view I’ve ever seen on an obvious foul.
This guy also has an article for the most incorrect calls in 2019.
Keep him away from any playoff games.
Boycott the games he ‘officiates’ due to his negligence/nefarious professionalism

The last 2 minute report said Embid didn’t foul when he literally held the wrist of the guy he was guarding. Those reports lost credibility after that.

Look at the photo in the link. There’s no planet where that’s legal defense. And they said there was no foul on that play that decided the game

Re: Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls?
I mean they showed the same play from a different angle and I felt like it wasn't a clear foul, in game I didn't notice a foul in real time, though I wasn't paying particularly close attention and I"m blind, but I sit near my TV. From the close up slow mo or a good angle obviously it's a clear foul but so what, the ref missed it. It's not rigged or paid refs every time. Or lebron hate or whatever. Pick a lane I guess.

I mean you got screwed in 2002, my condolences, but I'm not seeing a significant sample size there yet. It does suck though it appears a bunch of late calls went against you, that can cost you some games. I'm wondering if sports betters are looking at this stuff and making use of it somehow.

So I guess the data is showing LeBron & the Lakers are typically one of the most "respected stars in getting calls." Apparently if any mega stars should have a gripe about getting shafted it's Jokic & KD/Kyrie.

Shaq is the one that never got calls.

But that's 4% more of the game than most fans can remember!

It seems LAL does have something to bitch about as they have only the second most favorable outcomes.

Robert Williams was victim of a similar no call the other night. Where’s the thread for him?

He's only shot 11,000 of them in his career. Won't somebody please do something?

League should reward Lakers with additional superstar. Lebron needs more help.

Re: why dont refs give bron fts
He used to get the benefit of superstar calls in Cleveland, at least until 2010. Then with the Heat... well, they still are the team with less FTAs vs Spurs in a 7 game series (finals won in 13). He also dropped a ton his attempts as the years went by.
He's strong, so refs avoid giving him FTs at minimal contact like they do with others. Shaq had that treatment too.
However LBJ gets away with extended arms a lot when driving to the basket or lowered shoulders. I'm not saying LA can't complain at end of the game calls (they can, 3 or 4 missed calls this year) but I don't think LBJ is being treated poorly by the league. Maybe not like James Harden at some point for example, but man... I'd hate it. It would become unwatchable to say the least with the amount of contact he draws when he drives.
Obviously when he's fouled like he was by Tatum you gotta give him 2 FTs.

Re: why dont refs give bron fts
The same thing why Anthony Edwards does not get calls. They dont reward very strong players. They reward floppers
