To deny that the officials interpret the league's rules to benefit its star players is, I think, not being honest with oneself. Just my opinion. Chuck

This sis my feeling exactly. Of course, they are the best. And I would never say they are cheaters or dishonest. They do the best they can and that's saying a lot. I just don't like the philosophy that offense gets the breaks, and defense is no fun to watch. I don't enjoy watching NBA because it's too show-offy and there's not enough team work. That's the way other fans (who have more money to throw around than I do) want it, and that's what they get. Fine.
That doesn't mean the stars don't get preferential treatment. They clearly and obviously do. If that's what everyone wants, and what the league agrees on, it's not cheating, and it's not bad.
It's just not for me.
