They need to ignore the who the players are and concentrate more on the game.

Yeah, the superstars get all the calls. That's why Kobe Bryant was ejected last night with less than 4 minutes to play with the game very much in doubt. (PLEASE NOTE THE SARCASM.)
Traveling and fouls are called differently in the NBA than it is in college. It amkes no difference if the player is. I see rookies get away with a HS travel just like I see veteran role players get away with it. Fouls are based on a different philosophy than we call the HS game. IOW, I don't see the favoritism that so many "fanboys" like stripes33 see.
