Lebron no fouls
Just heard that Lebron James went 254 minutes without a personal foul. Does anyone else find that to be incredible for any player, let alone one as active as he is?
I know that the stars aren't treated differently in the NBA, so that couldn't be a factor.

No I do not find it hard to believe. He is mostly a perimeter player that knows he has a length advantage on most players he goes against. I find it very possible and has nothing to do with him being a star. Now if you show me plays that were suspect and he did not get called for a foul, that would be a better gauge for something funny.
BTW, most stars statistically foul more than the average players as they play more minutes than your average player. Just look at the foul rate of guys like Kobe, LBJ, Wade, Durant or others and they foul more than most of their teammates consistently year in and year out. Peace

And since most stars statistically foul more than the average players, the question is why isn't he being whistled as much as other stars?

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. |

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.
