Lots of stars have gotten preferential treatment, but Lebron seems to get more calls than anyone in history?

Lebron averaged only 1.72 fouls for the season, less than Jordan ever had in any single season. Sure he usually doesn't guard an offensive threat, but from charges alone he should have more than that. Is the leauge telling refs to blatantly change the rules for him or are NBA refs just that bad. My question is what should the NBA do to stop this embarassmant. I guess the NBA makes more money with Lebron getting every call, but it seems it will be detrimental in the long run if numerous fans stop watching all together because they want to see a fair game not professional wrestling. Opinions?

    Get this one, I don't hardly remember Jordan EVER getting a foul called on him at all.

    Your right though that is unreal. You know by playing the game that it's impossible to do that. Almost every play on the defensive end a player has a play that could be called.

    I do think this is pretty consistent with other stars like Kobe and Dwade though

    Bullsh%#@

    1)Shaq (the 3 rings he won with the lakers were the most over the back, elbow throwing, 3 seconds playoffs in history)

    2)Michael Jordan (Mr. Travel, Mr. phantom fouls)

    3)Kobe Bryant (Has never won sh$# on his own in his career, but is given more non calls in the nba today.

    Jordan is the number one non-call player ever, In fact he paved the way for todays players to constantly travel and carry.

    Lebron doesnt play physical defense, that why he doesnt get fouls, the only reason he's came second in defense voting is because of his blocks and steals

    dont blame NBA for Lebron being that good, you starting to sound like a jackazz

    This tells me you didn't watch ANY regular season Cavs games. Lebron was getting beat up nightly and couldn't get a call to save his life. Especially on the road.
