Lebron Feels He Doesn't Get the Benefit of the Calls

[bangdak]

I wouldnt say career injury, but i def. want to see an injury happen to him, just to see how he'll be able to hold up once he loses some of that athleticism.





But i mean, everyone feels they're getting hacked once going to the paint.

He can't be serious...dude is on '06 Finals Wade status almost every game. I wouldn't have a problem too much if he wasn't initiating the contact 80% of the time by dipping his shoulder and executing a flawless HB dive.

. seriously though the knicks almost never get favorable calls. not at home. not at away. almost never. especially when the cavs played us. i remember jeffries drew like 2 charges on lebron and they called blocking

on the league leader in charges

Haters Ball up in here

 

[duba169]

it's a bigger issue than most of you care to admit because it actually can effect the way he plays. If he's not getting calls, he might jack up threes.

 

[ballinboykz]

I would laugh, but that aint even funny.

I think every NBA player could say this. Only thing is, officials call the game with the concept of "advantage/disadvantage". Problem is for Lebron, when he drives, he is so damn fast and strong, that even though there is contact, he is at no disadvantage. He's a genetic freak of nature. So, in the officials eyes, why would they call something when he would finish the bucket with the contact, when it would have been just as easy without the contact?

Just play ball Lebron.

 

[fro b giant]

This guy is amazing. Now I like Lebron but come on there are plenty of other guys in the league that get the shaft way more than James. WAY MORE!!!

 

[eeibaby]

Just when I was about to like the guy, what a damn crybaby.

Dude gets almost all the call and the non calls on his travel.

Remember the days when people just ball and didn't complain about little ticky tac fouls majority of players do these days

 

[jehlers02]

He gets calls in his favor, but also gets screwed alot at the sametime. He's like shaq in his prime, a very very hard person to officiate.
When you're that big, and that athletic, it can be hard to make calls for or against him. Pretty much cause he's unstoppable. If he drove every time, it would be very hard to stop him with out hacking him.

I agree with this 100%. He must be a miserable person to officiate. The things he can do, at his size and speed, are entering into uncharted territory.

SMH at you guys wishing injury upon another player

 

[mytoasterspeak]

*Goes and turns on Jay-Z's "Hater" song*. Lebron is hard to officiate cause of his size, strength, and ability, a la Shaq. There's plenty of times when he goes to the rack and is smacked or bumped but it's not called, I can count at least 3 times from yesterday. Far as him fouling people by running them over or hacking on D, now the haters are starting to surface. Go get a life

 

[noreasonabledoubt]

The crying needs to stop. Lebron, Kobe, Wade, all the elites cry way tooo much. Like someone else said, nobody wants to see a free throw contest. It's actually disgusting to see.

So are you saying he has a right to whine because he is hard to officiate? And that he doesnt get the benefit of the doubt on certain defensive plays and offensive moves he does?

[mytoasterspeak]

don't need to say anything different cause it's the truth, plus my phone won't let me quote

 

[edweeno]

Statements like this, makes me despise the times us (the magic) play against the cavs. Dude be getting some calls that at times makes you scratch your head. It honestly hurts to even watch

 

[kingofilladelph]

A lot of you are jumping on Lebron but I guarantee your favorite player feels the same way. Only difference is Lebron said it.

True. But LeBron DOES get his share of the calls. He's 2nd in the league in FTA a game behind D12 (who teams actually TRY and foul every time he goes inside) so to say he doesn't get the benefit of calls especially if you look at last years playoffs (He shot more FTs than D-Wade did in the '06 postseason and Bron didn't even make it to the Finals). Does Bron get hit on drives going to the basket, yes he does. Does Bron initiate a lot of that contact, yes. Does the whistle need to be blown every single time that happens, no. Nobody wants to see Bron go to the line 15+ times every game (which is sounding like what he wants, MORE calls than he already gets)
