    "This team gets no respect," Divac said. "Allan Houston got all types of free throws in New York, and Peja (Stojakovic) can't get to the line. Then I get a foul going against an 18-year-old. It's ridiculous. I got the technical because I told them unless they call that same foul against Yao (Ming) or Shaquille (O'Neal), then I've got a problem with that."


    I agree with him about Shaq, but Yao, yeah right. Yao gets no calls. He has got to be kidding me right? Everyone knows that Divac is the best flopper in the nba. Read this article

    Maybe he'd get more respect when he earns respect by not flopping like a moron on every other play.

    Whiney punk. If you want star treatment from the officials you might want to look into becoming a star first.

    I had a kid get a call over me, waaah. :rolleyes:

    Just try to be objective. So you guys really think it's alright for the referees to be biased in favour of popular players?:rolleyes:

    ummmm... yes. :)

    man, what make believe league are you pretending to watch where player favortism doesn't occur. it's sad it has to be that way, but if it's going to be that way for players on other teams... i'd like for the rox to have that same advantage.

    Just try to understand the point of this thread.

    Vlade Divac, the guy who gets PLENTY of calls on flops that are questionable at best, is complaining about the refs not calling the game objectively.

    There's nothing about whether the league is fair with foul calls. It's about someone who takes advantage of the system crying when things don't fall their way.

    Vlade's getting too old to flop all game. So he's trying to win over the hearts of the refs to replace the flop calls.

    I'm against special treatment towards stars. If your a real star player you don't need that kind of advantage, and you'd be able to win outright.

    Thats true but i think in the NBA there are many many stars but thoughs who get all the calls are the Super Stars, IMO.

    He absolutely wrong in regards to Yao though. THey've been calling a **** load of fouls on Yao for even trying to be a little agressive. But they never call **** on the opposer although he bangs yao back and forth.
