I know this happens all the time, but it seems to be even worse so far in this year's playoffs.
As usual, Kobe seems to be leading the pack. I think he complained that a foul wasn't called against a opponent out in the parking lot before the game.
The league should issue crying towels. These guys are acting like 3rd graders. Oh wait - 3rd graders are actually more mature.

Complaining about their complaining......
J.K. It drives me absolutely insane watching the prima donnas!! It unfortunately has caused me to watch less NBA and more college. Duncan has always driven me crazy with his dumbfounded "I've never made contact with another player in my entire playing career" face.
Speaking of complaining:
