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.

he's a well known hater on our board, so please understand.

on today's game thread, he posted "Jose Calderon is garbage" at least 10 times.

and that's all he wrote.

anyway, here are the FTA average leaders:

Dwight Howard
Devin Harris
Dwyane Wade
Chris Bosh
LeBron James
Amare Stoudemire


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


Well the way Harris plays he really puts pressure on the refs to make a call. He always connects contact body first, before a shot. Most of the calls are fair IMO.

"Fall down 7 times, hear the whistle 8 times."

I'll let you guys guess who this is about.

Also, I gotta be honest Duncan gets away with stuff too.

Wade still reigns supreme, although I haven't seen as much lately.

Kobe, nuff said

Bosh, aka 6-11 Wade

Gasol is ridiculous, whenever he experiences any contact whatsoever, he'll yell at the top of his lungs

AI used to be at the top, but he's slowed down lately. Howard gets a bunch, though a lot of them are justified.

1. Wade
1a. Lebron (although with Lebron he gets a lot of "no calls" in his favor (4-5 extra steps, blatant push offs, etc.))

Gasol is the most frustrating, because he's by far the best flopper in the NBA..above everybody else, because he's completely mastered the art of ALL 3 FLOPS..physical flopping, verbal flopping and facial flopping..he flails his arms on both sides, he yells every time he gets a shot off and he makes a sad and disturbed face all the time, to make it look like he got hacked..

So some people really think Devin Harris gets favourable calls lol, why?? He's not a superstar he just drives the basketball a lot. I dont see any conceivable reason why a guy like him would get favourable treatment. Never been to all star game, been on an all NBA team or anything. Just because a guy gets a lot of calls doesn't mean he gets favourable treatment.

This is a stupid tread. Wade gets alot of calls but he also attacks the rim more then any player in the league, yet he doesnt get every call. Yao mings in the games i saw, was pretty bad. They try and protect the crap out of him.

A tread that would be better is, who gets the least calls. Shaq? Duncan? Players that you could call a foul on the other team everytime, yet dont because its crazy if they did.

Players who attack the rim will always get the most calls. Refs respect players who attack and reward them. IF you attack strong, you get the call, take it in weak and your not. IF you attack 10 times, you get a call 6 times and maybe 2 of them were questionable.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree completely, he's acquired all five scrolls of flopping. As a matter of fact, the Lakers have 3 of the top floppers in the league....in their starting lineup! Gasol, Kobe......and Fisher

It's only ironic that the first four letters of his last name are synonymous with flopping.
