All your graphics are pretty but the data you show is very misleading.
The Lakers do lead league in FTA per game but the difference between the first and 9th team is minimal (less than 2 FTA per game).
Nice try !
You need better reading comprehension. Not FT ATTEMPTS, these show FT DISPARITY, which means this is how many more FTs they have shot vs their opponents FTs shot (against LAL). Which shows a massive difference in their free throw advantage against the teams they are playing.
It shows that they have shot on average 10 more FTs per game than their opponents since that bad call and 384 more for the season (the next biggest disparity being 184 for the Heat). Take off your homer goggles, bud.
The NBA sells a product and wants it's stars and big market teams to be successful, because it means more $$$$$$$$ for the league.
The most hilarious thing around is Laker fans complaining about getting the short end of the stick when it comes to refs.
