Has There Even Been a Player As Protected By The Refs As Durant?

Shooting as many foul shoots as he does while just being a jumpshooter? Hmmmmm.....

You're a Miami Heat fan, correct?

What if he was? The Heat don't get any more treatment then other teams. Look at the box scores and watch the games for proof. Not to mention, Wade and LeBron aren't jumpshooters.

KD is decidedly in Karl Malone territory.

That player had one of the most referee-protected games in league history.

Whats it matter if root for the Heat? Wade and LeBron actually will take it to the rack with authority. And LeBron hasn't been getting the calls all season. The refs are starting to give him the Shaq treatment because of how defenders bounce of him. Wade hasn't been getting the calls people b.itch about all the time for the last few seasons. Durant is a jumpshooter. He is amazing at that skill, but there is no way in hell he is earning those calls.

Good post. Beat me to it, Game. Wade and Bron are much physical players. Durant, not so much.

Oh btw, just to put things into perspective.

The Heat are 19th in the league for FTA, and 21st in FT.

OKC? 1st and 1st.

They are getting big-time ref help.

and lebron went like what, 8 games without getting a foul called on him

In order for the Heat to catch up to the Thunder who is currently at 41 games as opposed to 38 for the Heat, they would have to average 100 Free Throws for 3 games.

Isn't Kobe a leader in foul attempts despite being a lesser version of KD? Neither of those two take it to the rack.

Neither is Durant and especially Westbrook. Durant attacks the rim and gets into the paint a lot more this year than years past. Not saying he does it as often as LeBron or Wade, but he's not just taking 20 jumpers a game.

When I watch Durant, I dont see many dubious calls being made. He pretty much derserves every trip to the foul line.
