What can Kobe do to get more foul calls like Wade?
Win another ring? Pretend to be humble and less arrogant? Do more more commericals with NBA legends?
Kobe used to get just as much calls as anyone in the league but compared to Wade, he's almost a scrub in the respect he gets from the refs.

Kobe can't get calls because David Stern loves Wade and told the refs not to give Kobe calls and give more calls to Wade.

Attack the rim more. Consistently. Not just twic a half but like 5 times a quarter. That will result in FTs.

You do realize Kobe has led the league this century in phantom calls, right? No close second, but Laker Shaq was easily second...
There was only ONE bad call that favored Wade in the entire playofs. And that was the forearm on dirk. That's it.

Drive to the basket with utmost power and speed that leaves defenders on their heels. Thats what Kobe needs to do to get calls like Wade.

I'm pretty sure the majority may think your statements are pretty unreasonable.

I saw the game. He attacked every now and then but was not at all consistent in attacking the rim the whole game. As I said, attacking 2-3 times per half won't cut it. You have to do it often enough.
But sure, he didn't get some calls he should have tonight. Doesn't really change anything I've said though.

Hmmm...attack the rim more?
You do realize that Kobe averaged the same # of FTs as Wade last season? And he's averaging 9+ this season despite hardly being much of a slasher.
Refs are treating Kobe as well as they're treating Wade.

If you saw the game, then you saw him not getting any calls when driving, with Wade getting almost all of them driving. So then your logic of "kobe drives more = kobe shoots more ft's" goes down the toilet. You cant say he simply needs to drive "more". If he's not getting the foul calls, he's not getting them.
