    Default Can someone explain to me how Lebron is not getting any calls?

    Lebron's jumper is non-existent and thus is forced to live in the paint, this last game against the Hawk's there were countless occasions where calls could have and should have been made.

    These non-calls aren't calls that superstars would get but calls that calls that should be made for everyone.

    I know this will be an unpopular thread and some will dismiss this as they won the game but that totally misses the point. The goal is to call the game as accurately as possible irrespective of the result/consequences. I can't help think that the NBA is purposely missing calls in order to make games closer then expected and influence the outcome of such games.

    For reference Lebron is shooting 4.6 free throws a game through 5 games and has taken 10.4 FG attempts within 10 feet. Approximately 60 percent of his looks are within the paint.

    I agree that Lebron get's away with a lot of push offs and travels but as a whole it seems to be one of the least officiated parts of NBA basketball so doesn't explain why he's not getting calls that he would usually get.

    In addition I haven't seen many push offs this post-season.

    It's hard to call a foul on the defender when he's been shoved 5 feet away

    No one believes it which is kind of insane since he was knocked to the ground having been hit in the face more times than he got to the FT line last night.

    But people who actually watch the games know he hasn't gotten the same respect as the greats that came before him the last several years.

    I can't remember this ever being the case. Even commentators joke about star calls or different quarters being officiated differently.

    So not only is he able to get away with pushing off and traveling every game he's so supposed to get every call too according to idiot brainwashed stans.
