Sorry about no video link.

Just a regular personal foul.

Seems to me that the cross body blocks thrown out by Rudy Fernandez and Navarro (I think) in the 4th quarter - trying to stop potential USA fast breaks - come way closer to the INT, Unsporting, FF1 category than LeBron's foul.

I agree with APG. This was just a regular, normal foul.

Agreed, they were a lot closer.
