Who gets the most calls? 

Post#1 » by MagicFan32 » Sat Nov 29, 2008 3:58 am

Try and be unbiased as possible...

what player gets the most ridiculous star treatment in the league? as in if you even attempt to defend him it's a foul?

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

It's still Wade in my book, BUT Bosh is VERY close.
Bosh will scream if a player is within 5 feet of him, it's ridiculous.

I guess Bosh does embellish a little bit, but most calls are legit.

One of these names is not like the other. That would be your early favorite for this competition.

So you think Devin Harris gets really favorable calls?

Kobe is averaging 6.2 FTs this year. I don't think Kobe gets a lot of calls. I think he just gets a lot of calls against the Rockets.

yeah Kobe doesn't get to the FT line a lot this year but that is because he doesn't drive as much as he used to, he is more of a pull-up jumper player nowadays but when he does drive he gets the calls.

Billups

The guy will take one dribble, flail his arms and body in every direction, and the refs give him the call every single time. It's especially baffling because he's not a great driver and he's not a superstar. But any time he finds his way into the paint, you can bet a foul will be called.

Jamison flails a lot I noticed... so does Hedo, lol... he just throws the ball away and throws up both of his hands and a lot of times he doesnt even get called for it and gets a turnover
