It probably IS Wade...but lemme be clear that is an indictment on the refs, NOT Wade. I love Wades game. I just don't like the way he's officiated.

Talking about flopping, what ever happened to those flopping fines that were suppose to be implemented?

It's the thought that counts...

Not even **** close, LeBron James.

Wade, LeBron, and Bosh are right at the top for offense.

I think players that try to draw contact, or over exaggerate contact get calls that shouldn't be calls, but thats obviously not their fault, its a testament to their game actually. Its a NBA problem, and a ref problem... not a players problem. Wade, CP3, Manu, etc are really good at this. Kobe is good with the verbal (ahhhh!) when he goes to the basket, but he doesn't flop all over the floor.

As far as getting "superstar" calls... Eh, I don't know, they all do to some extent, all the premiere names. As far as Kobe being there, as a person that watches the Lakers every game, every year, I think he gets strangely officiated. Don't get me wrong, more often than not he either get regular ef treatment or fairly officiated, or star-over bias treatment... but I think he's the only premiere name I see getting some strange kind of anti-star treatment from time to time, where he can't buy a call (while driving to the bucket and getting clear contact), or gets whistled for any kind of breathing on the defensive end (although I think Kobe gets most of his preferable treatment on the defensive end, while not much offensivley).

You all are outside of your minds if you think Bron gets the most calls in the league.I agree that when he was young in the 03-04/04-05 seasons he did get away with the hop step calls, thats about it. Theres also a reaosn he led the league in AND 1 plays for his first couple years and now hes in the middle of the pack. Refs just stop calling fould in his favor because hes big and can take a hit without flinching sort of like Dwight, DOesnt mean he dioesnt get fouled.

There are so many times he runs down court and gets hammered with no call its rediculous. And the thing is,that he still makes the shot so half of them sould be AND 1s. Obviously this award just goes o big names because if you guys have ever watched moe that 5 cavs games you would see that he doesnt get away with anything except a travel here and there.

Watch this for proof. I was going insane and ready to kill animals when this didnt get called a foul.

1. Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Pierce, Arenas, Howard, Bosh, KG, T-Mac, CP3, Manu, Parker, Duncan, Yao, Amare (did I miss any other star player?)
2. Everyone else

EVERY Star no matter who you are, gets favorable calls. I don't care if you're D-Wade or LeBron James or KG, you will get your share of favorable calls, just because of who you are.

Indeed. These ticky tack fouls, or what I call "pansy calls" the refs give the Wades, LeBrons, Kobes etc are mindlessly stupid and completely slow the pace of the game down. A touch foul here or there, isn't going to do much to these players, at all. -- We need to get back to the post-2001? rules where hand checking and such was allowed.

I think you are the only one out of your mind for thinking that way.

no way man, Yao gets the LEAST favorable calls out of any player in the league. Yao would get to the line the most in the league if the refs gave him favorable calls.

They have all earned it, a lot of them earned it with injuries.

I agree, he's a good flopper.

Every superstar gets calls....not as much as D-Whistle tho.

I see Lebron getting more favorable calls on Travleing the dude is a walking machine. 2 years ago against the Wizards that game winning lay up was like a 4-5 step layup
