    Which star gets the so called "do no wrong" treatment the most in the playoffs? As in, which star is allowed to commit fouls without being called, and whose opponent gets an inordinate amount of calls against them?

    Shaq gets my vote for committing uncalled offensive fouls, he doesn't seem to get the same leniency when he plays defense though.

    MJ gets my vote for opponents not being allowed to come within 18 inches of him without getting a foul called.

    Its pretty close between Shaq and Karl Malone. John Stockton gets away with a lot of elbows. Michael Jordan would be up there as well...

    They are currently the 6th seed.

    I would love to hear your reasoning on why a current 6th seed will not make it to the playoffs.

    (FYI-8 teams in each conference make it to the playoffs)

    I hope Shim's right. And maybe Jordan will be moot as well what with his knee problems. Maybe the Wizards will choke and lose their playoff positioning.

    Reggie Miller - love to see him play the Knicks and beat them, but can't stand his off-the-ball antics. He looks like a participant in a Chinese slap fight.

    Big time Vince Carter...in fact, he's had an ongoing feud with officials all season.

    jordan, by far!

    in all fairness, though, I think Shaq gets his share of unfair calls. he's so big that small guys just fall over when shaq touches them. should he get called for fouls just becuase he's bigger & stronger than other players?

    Shaq.
    Everytime he gets the ball, its an offensive foul, and then he has to throw a hissy fit about the hack- a-shack.
