The guy is a freak talent.
But damn a lot of guys would be superstars if they called fouls like they do for him. He just lowers his head and drives and if he hits someone boom,foul on them.
Officiating in the NBA has always been a pet peeve but I honestly dont think I've ever seen the superstar treatment like he's getting. He knows that if he drives even if he charges they're gonna call a blocking foul. Just ridiculous.

I think the only bad call was the breakaway foul when Alston was in front of Bron.

I think Lebron is averaging something like 15 free throws per game. Whats even funnier is that he is only being called for something like 1.3 fouls per game.

Kobe doesn't drive all that often though, so the notion that he doesn't get calls is skewed. He doesn't really look to create contact. He still gets superstar calls though, he just doesn't rely on it so it seems he doesn't get as many as a Bron or Wade.

He just dosnt play his game around getting calls like a few other players do. IMO though he gets about the same treatment as say a Dirk does nowadays. Its just weird to see some of those names ahead of him in the FTA per game list especially when hes still putting up high scoring #'s. |

I think if he drove more not only would he get more FTs, it would help his team overall. |

Plus Dirk flails around on jump shots even, so he can't be included. Half may be "superstar calls" but the other half are "flopping calls."
