Lebron no fouls

[VaTerp]

I do think its incredible that a player as active as Lebron went that long without a foul but not for the reasons being implied in this thread.

I thinks its an incredible feat by an incredible athlete. Not evidence of some tired, thinly veiled conspiracy theory about the NBA.

And I find it sad that basketball officials look at a stat like this and make assumptions. As JRut said post some videos of dubious no calls if you want a serious conversation.

I watched a quarter of an NBA game for the first time in a long time yesterday.

I was amazed at the athleticism of the players. I was also highly impressed by the decision making and positioning of the officials. They called few fouls in the quarter I watched -- great decisions on some contact that provided no advantage. I wouldn't be entertained by it long-term, but I was for a quarter last night.

To me, it's all much ado about nothing. A random sample of time without a foul means nothing to me. I'm sure many players at our levels go games without fouls too -- none of them have the skills or athleticism of James.

I wasn't assuming anything. I said what I did with tongue in cheek.

But it is amazing, at any level.

Actually the foul that ended the streak didn't look like much to me, but Lebron didn't complain.

You would think that in 7 games, somebody would step in and take a charge on him, but I'm not volunteering.
