"One of the common gripes against LeBron James -- besides his ability to get foul calls against him -- is his ability to never commit any defensive fouls himself. Or rather, as some call it: the refs swallowing the whistle against a star player fans have paid to see. Last year, he was averaging an incredibly low foul rate.
So it's not surprising to read this note in today's Arizona Republic after the Suns-Cavs game last night.
"A rare NBA treat happened late in the second quarter Monday night," writes Paul Coro. "For the first time in four Suns-Cavaliers games, LeBron James was called for a defensive foul. He fouled Jason Richardson under the basket in the final minute of the first half, only to get another foul three minutes into the second half against Amar'e Stoudemire. James also had banged Richardson in transition with no call in the first quarter. James is a good defender, but nobody is good enough to go 130 minutes without a foul (ESPN)."
Fucking ridiculous. No player can play that long without a defensive foul, but somehow Lebron does constantly. This is why the NBA is so fucking annoying. Fouls are not the same across the board, and I know some people argue that the NFL is like that, but I don't think it is even close to this extent. Sorry, but after watching Sheed/Perk get technicals for basically nothing, then flip on another game and watch Lebron rape people going to the hoop and nothing is called, I just can't take that crap anymore.
Anyways, fuck Lebron. I hope Rasheed drop kicks him when he goes for a dunk.
