I think sometimes the line is blurred when it's regarding a player that is vocal or plays with extreme passion. Dray does both. He actually takes a beating down there in the paint guarding 4's & 5's. He often times is hit and pushed without the benefit of the call.
Some will say it's related to his rep & is his fault. But really? I mean if you weren't afraid to be vocal would you want that to be a free pass for others to foul you constantly? And in terms of complaining, A LOT of guys do it - including the so-called best player in the world & he isn't blackballed for it. Hell, he even complained during the AS game. lol
There's a difference between disputing calls and disputing EVERY call. He leads the league in technicals for a reason. The unexplainable flailing is a red flag for me as well. Too bad, because he is a uniquely talented player that should have a better reputation in the league if he could lighten up a little.
