I agree with everything you said but this:Dwight Howard is the most fouled player in the league. This year his back is keeping his athleticism down, but if you watch the previous 8 seasons of Howard play in Orlando you will see a guy who gets absolutely clobbered every time he touches the ball in a non-alley-oop capacity.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No. 1 in every game plan against Miami: hammer James and Wade whenever they get into the paint. They get a lot of calls, but they take a ton of punishment and certainly don’t get every call. Refs won’t call fouls on every possession so really, foul ‘em every time and you’ll get away with it plenty.

Do the world a favor smoochy, and don’t waste our time comparing LeBron James to your average NBA player. Just because Sebastian Telfair picks up a foul every 10 minutes, it doesn’t mean everyone in the league does. The bottom half of the league picks up a lot of fouls because they cannot stop the offense of the best players. Its relative common sense, which is why LeBron all most wins the defensive player of the year every year, because good defense doesn’t involve fouls. He can outrun and out jump lesser nba players.

LeBron doesn’t get called for a lot of fouls because he doesn’t make a lot of steal attempts. He doesn’t hack people when they shoot, so he gets a low amount of d fouls called. LeBron actually picks up more offensive fouls than most players and he gets hacked on every play and misses the call because he powers through the fouls. He is probably the most fouled man in the sport really, but the game would have no pace and the other team would run low in players if LeBron got the call every time he really got fouled.

Oh he’s the definitely the best all around player in the world. I’m not arguing that. I watched some of the Utah game didn’t realize he ended up with 5 fouls, I’m amazed.

I mean the guy did go from December 8 until Christmas without being called for a foul so it’s not like I’m talking crazy here. Have you ever heard of someone going weeks without being called for a foul? Most players can’t go more than 10 minutes without a whistle.

LeBron gets mugged just about everytime he approaches the rim. You’re insecurities are getting the best of you smoochy.

It’s obvious that you don’t actually watch Heat games. LBJ 2 games ago VS Utah had 5 fouls against him and was hacked several times going to the rim, including a drive that would have tied the game up. Yes he gets “star” treatment but no more then Kobe or Durant. Try watching more heat games ( whole games not jut highlights) and u will see. The man works hard to be the best and he is!

I understand that MJ got all the calls since he was, well, MJ. But it was also a different league then, and the combination of the softer league and Lebron’s stardom make for a ridiculous night of officiating every time he is on the court.

It’s borderline unwatchable. The guy never gets called for a foul on D and if you breathe on him he’s at the line. Somebody needs to go Rick Mahorn on “the king” and remind him how it used to be. Take the suspension; it’d be worth it.
