The problem with the NBA...and for that matter all pro leagues...is that fact is irrelevant. The general public percieves that the stars (Lebron, Wade, Durrant, Kobe, etc.) get A LOT of consideration when it comes to fouls and violations and that there is a certain level of "manipulation" when it comes to the play-offs.

I think it is safe to say that most here think that his horse#*@t, but perception is more important than fact. I also think most here will acknowledge that a "star system" will always exist at the pro level because people do not pay thousands of dollars a seat to sit on the floor at an NBA game to see Lebron foul out in the 3rd quarter. Even if nothing really changes, having a public discussion and letting people think you are looking into their "complaints" can only help.
