And the trend appears to be contining in that direction bksballer.

Yep, Wade and now Curry does. I hate that rule, they need to change it.

A bunch do it, LBJ, Rose, harden, Westbrook. In the playoffs they don't call it as much.

lebron still has not won a finals game without Wade in the building

wade still has 1 more ring.

LBJ rarely does it, he used to. Harden does it the most, then Curry. Rose used to do it more.

I doubt it will play a role, but hopefully DWade is good luck.

Haha wow

Yea Curry has adopted it, Harden does it as well. I think it is an awful rule. What is the defender supposed to do. they cant just disappear. The rule needs to change where its a foul on the shooter or a complete no call, but no way should it be on the defender. Im okay with them calling it on Wade if it gets him to stop that crap.

I am a fan of a no call on those plays.

LBJ does it all the time. I hope u are messing with me. He did it 5 times last game and wanted a foul call all 5 times when he is the one causing the contact. He did get 2 calls on those 5 plays. LBj does that Bullrush move where he tries to run over the player and then shoots it up and he hopes the defender gets called for the foul.

You mean when he gets raked on the arm. It is not the same thing, he is posting up or it's when he is driving. LBJ gets calls, but he always doesnt get calls normal players would. I have about 4 or 5 instances just from the last game he got hit and no call (not the last play with Green, that was clean).

Curry does it on 3 balls when someone is in his face, pump fakes and if he doesnt get contact he pushes his body forward into the defender. Harden does it mainly on 3's also.

If a player falls forward trying to draw contact on a jumpshot, it should be an offensive foul, if the offensive player makes contact with the defender of course. Defensive players are so limited these days, it is hard to play solid defense and a foul not called.

He'

He'll prob blow his knee out climbing up to the set.

LeBron pushes off ALL THE TIME, and it's rarely called.

Its still the same, doesn't matter if its a 3 or a lay up. LBJ does it a lot. I agree he gets a lot of calls but they do miss calls on him because of his size and strength.

Rose never gets those calls and he goes hard to the rim but then he will get that 1 call where he is the one making the contact. its so up and down on those calls.

Thank you, and that damn elbow thing he does pisses me off. last game he did it twice and it was clear as hell and they didn't call it.

I hate to say it but he actually pushes off more than MJ did.

Lebron lowers his head and charges then uses his elbow to separate himself for a pull away jumper or layup. he definitely uses his arm/elbow to distance himself. It should be an offensive foul, but they dont call that.

Yes that is the move im talking about. Its the same when a player goes for a dunk and puts their arm out .

Yep.
That was cool when he wore a Heat jersey, but you gotta call it now...
