LeBrons non-call??

I know this is not high school basketball, but did anybody see the game

against Orlando! LeBrons driving to the basket with 4.7 seconds left,

Turkolug comes and karate chops him across the arms. The C who is 5 feet

on the court and BEHIND! all three players involved calls JUMP BALL???

Would you make this call in a V, JV or even a middle school game? If you cant

see the ball? How do you call jumpball? IMO. I know the NBA is a whole

different animal of a another breed, but what do you all think?

Should have been a flagrant 1 on LeBron.

I just checked out the video. There was no karate chop. (You must be a big Cavs fan???). Looked like a good call, all ball at first at first and then some contact: go with the jump ball.

Diebler would have gotten the shot off.
