Remember back in the playoffs a couple of years ago when Baby LeBron took about 10 steps for the game winner and wasn't called for traveling...?

...Well, the Refs finally called him for it. I guess because it wasn't a playoff game...:rolleyes:

Yes sadly, the importance of the game is much less but still satisfying nonetheless. According to James it's not a travel its a crab dribble. You call it a crab dribble all you like James, it still a travel.

Well, that one wasn't nearly as obvious as the one in the playoffs, but its still a travel. The one in the playoffs was 4 steps and changing pivot feet.

The problem is that the NBA usually lets their stars get away with this stuff anyway. I can't even watch it any more.

...Its unfortunate, but you are right about this one.

It's unfortnate that the most talented player in the league is a completely cry baby. He gets more calls than anyone in the league..by far. Yet everytime he drives and gets touched at all, or there is any sort of call against him, he makes his terrible contorted face and starts his crying. I hate him with a passion, as I do the rest of the Cavs. Maybe one day the Wizards will actually get the best of them in a playoff series (2010 anyone?)

I like how he thinks it's not a travel because he calls is a "crab dribble". I find Lebron to be one of the most detestable athletes in pro sports.

Lebron is a great player, but seriously, I don't remember MJ ever being this rediculous about calls.

MJ got all the calls, but when one was questionable, he'd usually just smile and walk down the other side of the court. He'd ocassionally chat with an official when he would line up during a foul shot, but I don't remember any times where he was irate at an official. I'm sure there were some, but I don't remember them.

Back then you were allowed to plead your case to the referee.

Now, with the zero-tolerance policy it's just a Techincal, unless of course you are LeBron Bron
