I can even remember a few times opposing players tried to intentionally foul him to stop a lay-up and LeBron didn't get the whistle.
He does get away with a ton of contact on the defensive end, though. He basically never gets called for anything less than a blatant, shot-altering foul.
That's just plain wrong.
Shaq was allowed to bulldoze his way through the defensive players.
Lebron is not.
Here's what Shaq was allowed to do:

You don't think Lebron would take that "Shaq treatment" if he was allowed to also just throw people out of the way ?
