So lebron didnt get a technical for hanging on the rim for 10 seconds?

[PistonsFan#21]

So basically everyone here is saying that the NBA is fixed? I mean if the refs won't call a clear penalty against a player simply because he is a star, then that means that the refs have been instructed to call the game in a certain way.


If Peyton Manning took off his helmet on the field, or made a tackle after an interception and pulled the facemask, he wouldn't get called?

you mad? i wish Lebron hung on that rim for the whole timeout just to see you guys rant

[Genaro]

Same thing with the fact he never fouls anyone unless he rip their arms off.

[gts]

Is this assault and battery or attempted murder?

It's called friendship...

[comerb]

Did anybody see that earlier today? I know I'm kind of late but still...just because he is a "super" star doesn't mean he gets treated differently....if that was Jodi Meeks who did that...that would have been a technical.......

The real question is why your dumb ass didn't take a minute to read the rulebook and realize that hanging on the rim is a delay of game penalty and you can't delay a game during a timeout.

[arifgokcen]

Is all of you who claim that should have been a technical as dumb as you look.Wow

You cant delay a game during a timeout.

[Nuff Said]

Any takers on guessing how many more people are going to come into this thread stating it's due to a timeout? I say at least another page full.

The hanging on the rim technical has nothing to do with a delay of game.

The official rule says:

An offensive player that deliberately hangs on his basket, ring, net, backboard or support during the game shall be assessed a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul, and a $500 fine.

The gray area would be is timeout time "during the game".

you mean it was a timeout?

[HomieWeMajor]

He was hanging on the rim like when Marlo Stanfield stole some lollipops from that store. They both knew that the refs/security guard wouldn't do chit about it.

[jlip]

No he did not get a technical.

[lakerspng]

unsportsmanlike technicals carry the same weight during a official timeout as they do during game play. he should have been assessed a technical. he was not. maybe the refs just didn't notice as they were going to confer with each other on something. didn't impact the game nearly as much as Gasol's complete lack of defensive effort and the Lakers missed FTs. Lakers should have won that game, damn shame, the guys really gave a great effort.

Someone lelbron this up:

[Black and White]

Meh, it was christmas day. Let him have fun.

[Dro]

Meh, it was christmas day. Let him have fun.

Thats what I'm saying....Who cares? Some of these dudes are so emotional over their love/hate for certain players. He was just hanging. Its not like he was taunting the crowd or making some kind of disrespectful gestures..He just felt like hanging there and I'm not even sure it was 10 seconds...But anyway, who cares?
