NBA Greatness is about hype. wait . . follow me here Once you get HYPE for one thing or another then you get the BENEFIT If you get known for being a GREAT REBOUNDER those nudges in the back and hand slaps u use to get into position are not called If you get known for being a GREAT DEFENSIVE Player Those hand slaps and being late to the spot still gets ya a charge etc If you are known as a GREAT OFFENSIVE PLAYER you can run over people with no charge, take 4 steps, change pivot feet, palm ball, etc [not to mention you miss a shot it must be a foul because u too good to simply miss a shot[ The Reffing by Reputation is the major problem of the NBA I think this is why people want STARS more than anything else When you have STARS your team, your team is more Ref Friendly Rocket River
