    Yeah he is probably getting some special treatment, but it probably has to do with the fact that he has been amazing at not committing fouls his entire career. Even in his rookie season he only averaged 1.7 fouls per 36 min.

    It looks like he had another 5 game no foul stretch in the 08-09 season as well.

    That's why I will never respect any championship that guy or any player for that matter who's getting that kind of treatment. Not sure it has happened before but wouldn't be surprised if other were protected as much as Lebron.

    Crazy that a guy that is as physical as Lebron doesnt get as many fouls called against him...but personally i dont care about that as much as the inconsistency's on calls...if refs ref'd the game like they would against Lebron...they would allow more physical play...just saying

    Do any of you have any evidence of LeBron fouling in those five games? I thought so. Take off your tin foil hats

    My sentiments exactly, people here calling the NBA and refs out have to provide evidence or shut up.

    BRB, poring through 862 minutes of Miami Heat game footage to prove to a single incredulous poster that superstar officiating does in fact exist.

    Don't want you to, but if you have not one piece of evidence don't act as if it's clear the refs are doing this on purpose.

    Nothing new. Kobe raped someone once with no recourse.

    also in the last two weeks, the Lakers have improved from the 13th best team in the Western Conference to the 12th best team in the Western Conference.

    A lot of this has to do with the fact that Lebron is such a great defender that a lot of times, the officials would think that he is playing great defense even though he committed a foul. So this is just based on him being a great defender and how the officials look at him...
