George Karl in Postgame said LBJ gets more calls than any player he has seen

[PGDynasty24]

Agree or Disagree? Was wondering though...how did he got that last shot off 1.9 seconds. he caught it,bobbled it and slipped and then shot it

[ducks]

kobe is close if he does not get more then james

laker fan

[Amarelooms]

No one gets more calls than D whistle....just ask the Mavs in 2006 :elephant

Mavs 2006 NBA champions !!!!!

[tlongII]

MJ got the most calls. But Kobe, LeBron, and DWade are close.

[ducks]

I think it is oden

[picc84]

Kobe doesn't get calls these days. Back in the day, yeah. Now, no. Dwade isn't getting nearly as many calls as before either. Can't even call him D-whistle anymore, or the phantom menace. Its pretty much Bron right now.

[JoeTait75]

George Karl must have forgotten about Michael Jordan.

But yeah, LeBron gets a lot of calls. Which is great. :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

I disagree about Wade, he still gets a lot of calls..he just isn't going that hard this year..

Kobe hasn't been getting calls on that level for a few years now, probably due to all the complaining..the same thing happened with Duncan, he doesn't get the same calls that he used to..

Gasol gets a lot more calls than Kobe IMO..

[sribb43]

Kobe against the mavs at staples in the 4th = free throw practice

[sefant77]

Im almost more amazed that James is averaging just 1.7 fouls.

Hes attacking the basket all the time and is playing tight intense defense. Other players would get hammered with offensiv or ticky tacky defense fouls all the time...

[ChrisRichards]

Agree with Karl. but LBJ is the best player in the game though so its warranted.

[mystargtr34]

Yea its pretty comical the way Duncan gets hacked and bumped in the post and doesnt get calls. He just doesn't have the craftiness to exaggerate contact (i wont use the word flop) like a Gasol, who i think gets alot more calls than Duncan.

Kobe, i agree he doesnt get the Wade/LeBron treatment anymore like he use to, probably because of all the complaining he does like Harlem said - same with Tim.

One guy who gets alot of unbelievable calls, especially considering he doesnt have much of a name, is Kevin Martin. Expect to see the Rockets put alot of teams in foul trouble from now on, you cant breathe on this guy.

In other news: the sky is blue...:lol

[AussieFanKurt]

lebron by far gets the most calls in the league

[AussieFanKurt]

Agree with Karl. but LBJ is the best player in the game though so its warranted.

why is it warranted. if hes so good why does he deserve them

[EricB]

While true, weak sauce to bitch about it.

[TheMACHINE]

anyone who says Kobe obviously hasnt watched a Lakers game in 3 years.

BTW..Melo was getting hacked in one end and Lebron gets a ticky tack 3 point play in the other. Buuuuullllllshhhiiitttt

[Mike D]

Link?

[birdy219]

There's another "star" player who gets a lot of free throws... d.:king howard.. forget about him?

[Chieflion]

He gets called for tons of bullshit too. Him getting a lot of calls is because people are hacking him to make him earn his points at the free throw line.

[birdy219]

Oh the irony, whose team leads the league in free throw attempts? You guessed it the nuggets, so now he complains about free throws? The Spurs would have beaten denver my 30 if the refs didn't keep them in the game with free throws. :nope:p::rolleyes

[Jacob1983]

Does Karl realize that his team still got the win right? Why bitch about Lebron getting love from the refs? He should be happy that his team beat a top 3 team tonight.

maybe cuz Lebron has some calls from the ref that made everyone go "Hmmmmmm"

[HarlemHeat37]

It's also funny because the Nuggets won 2 games vs. Golden State that were directly attributed to horrible last second calls from refs..

And how does that change what Karl commented on piece of faggot?

[BRHornet45]

sons this bullshit league is rigged. when will most of you wake up and accept the truth?

nice titties in your sig cuzin:toast. Every motha fuckin sport has some sort of bullshit in it, no surprises here.

[gm5k]

anyone else notice how many travels Melo gets away with before he ever dribbles the ball? it gives him a huge advantage first step wise(or second, rather), and it was driving me insane watching tonight :bang

I'm fine with all kinds of travels, but that one just pisses me off. gives the guy on offense way too much of an advantage. to be able to do a quick jab with one foot, and then use his pivot foot for his drive before he's even dribbled the ball. you just have no chance defending the guy if he's not called for it.

[FkLA]

Fish caught it in the air at his hip, with his back to the basket, landed, jumped, brought the ball up to his head, all while turning and fading away in 0.4 seconds. I didnt see you complaining in 2004.

And George Karl, wish him well on his recovery, but he's a bitch. Either that or its his way of getting calls from the refs cause he was bitching like a little girl about Ginobili all those years we were ousting them out of the playoffs too. Than the year Manu became a free agent they made a run at him, go figure.

gotta love it. the NBA's found something they like even more than the Lakers :lol

[ChrisRichards]

The disrespect that Melo gets is appaling. He's very aggressive and should average at least 11 FT's a game.

[MB20]

George Karl is a whiner. Do you remember him bitching about Manu a couple of seasons ago?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I'm fairness to GK, Manu was like a fish out of water. Injuries and the league wide acceptance of flopping have ruined Manu. :smokin

[Chieflion]

George Karl is actually whining about his own team leading the league in free throw attempts and differential. He hates winning through underhanded means.

[pauls931]

I agree, it's one reason I don't like him. Vagina boy from Miami is a close second on my list jumping into every defender he can on jumpshots.

Either way in both cases, it's easy to score when no one is allowed to touch you.

Hey, I like Manu but he brought back the 'flop' generation after Stockton and Malone retired.

honest post.
Kobe gets hardly crap cuz he bitches too much same for Tim Parker gets more calls ...

Lebron was getting calls BUT to me the issue was the cavs bigs bumping teh Nuggs with no call ...but to be fair ...Chauncey does a lot of shady stuf to draw fouls (vet moves) that the ref crew last night didnt bite on ...i would love that crew to ref a Lakers/nuggs playoff series ..

[vander]

the other team just has to start making him feel the fouls more :ihit

I do admit Chauncey does draw fouls but professionally (if you can call it that).

Pau just flails to the wood like a little girl after being touched by a PG. That's what Manu used to do. CP3 is doing it now as well.
