obvious rigging against LBJ

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Now please dont call me delusional but stranger things have happened.
Could it be that LEBron doesnt get any calls no more, even on the most obvious fouls when he broke his nose for example, because the NBA wants to protect the Jordan brand??
Among casuals Jordan is the undisputed GOAT and the NBA till this day makes extremely much money with his brand as does Nike.
Could it be that Silver ordered to make it as hard on LeBron as possible to come anywhere near what Jordan did??
obviously Jordan has much more casual fans and much more people like him than LeBron till this day.
i think its very possible that they decided this because there are no other explanations.
normally Superstars get more calls the better they are and the more they won. with LeBron its the other way. he gets contantly disrespected by the refs the last two years.
you would think that after the Ibaka incident they would start giving him calls again but since then it got even worse
he just had 2 games in a row, where he constantly attacked the paint and didnt shoot a single FT. that never happened to him since his rookie season.
meanwhile Durant gets every possible call and some of the craziest BS calls i have EVER seen in professional basketball.
this is a no agenda thread.
please discuss

As a LeBron fan, I will honestly say that he can't expect respect from the refs considering he is a notorious flopper.

I think it has to do more with his size. They assume it's LeBron who is creating the contact.

i dont know WTF you wanna say but you are sure as hell no LEBron fan.
he flops way less than Durant,Harden,CP3 and others. he flops MAYBE every 4th-5 th game.. MAYBE
those other guys flop EVERY game multiple times.

It's all true except i dont think nba is protecting Jordan brand i
But more trying to create a rival to Lebron or more than one face of nba. They tried with rose and that failed so now will try with Durant.

Where does ISH find these guys? They just pop up one after another

what they dont get is Durant would become a better player if he wouldnt be relying on bailouts every game.
Durant is good enough to be LeBrons rival when both a called fairly.
Durant is a better rival than ANY rival MJ had after he started winning

Kang could shoot as many free throws as KD if he wanted too.

okay i knew that only dumb Durstans and Kobetards would hijack this thread.

Yeah I dunno how Harden/CP3 and those guys get so many free throws when they flop too. Probably DaSeba's point about his size has a lot to do with it. I don't think it's rigging though. He also wasn't as aggressive against Chicago, but it is weird that there were no fouls against that defense

This. Slap a tank on the arm and it barely affects him. Slap a skinny twig and it really hurts the little guy.
