Oden needs to get Paid for This!

Like it will get any better in the NBA. Go back and look at the tape and you can see that the Lead was straight-lined on this call - at the moment that picture was most likely taken, Center had a player between him and that matchup and no doubt had other things to look at. Posting the still shot was lousy.

Which was my only point. In the NBA he gets paid handsomely to get abused.


And it is interesting to see how many here will dismiss a photograph in one case, yet embrace another one, or a youtube video, to underscore their feelings.
Very few camera angles tell the story from the official's perspective and none of them, with the exceptions of timing and line calls, can ever be believed as proving or disproving the call on the floor or on the field.

Hey fan-boy, go back and read the discussions on the possible intentional foul again...you will see that posters who made comments about the officials being bad got pasted just like you have been...we are equal opportunity fan-boy bashers...

Abused? Good grief, someone call child services.

wow -- when you are done bending over and taking it from Oden tonight and the two of you are cuddling....

now that you have proven to us about your abilities as a baseball and softball umpire I must agree with you -- definitly looked like a foul. however the 50-100 snapshots before and after that are needed to determine who initiated the tangle-up and how quickly it might have been resolved and the angles the officials had of the play.

other than that go eat a turd.

This post proves to me why I say the things I do about baseball and softball umpires.

For the record I am a baseball umpire for about the same time as I have worked basketball.

Peace
