It's clear officials aren't looking for traveling, nor do they care

This is NOT a "Let's knock LeBron" thread. He just happened to be the one that travelled

"It was the worst thing, probably one of the worst things I've ever done in my career," James said. "I didn't realize I did it until halftime. One of my coaches showed me."

That isn't a travel, it is either palming or double dribble. But definitely illegal (except for Le-crab dribble-Bron).

True (palming/double dribble). Got carried away with article and made my title but it's not a LeBron thing at all. The NBA rarely ever calls anything like this regardless of who the player is

I'd say flopping like a bitch is way worse.

Yeah, Lebron got away with one there. Lol

Apparently he said he feels bad for the refs because he knows they're likely to get a reprimand from the league.

Haven't really seen him flop since he's been with the Lakers.

But then, between Vlade Divac and Derek Fisher, the Lakers have had 2 of the greatest floppers in league history...they set the bar so high that he probably figured he can't compete.

The blatant ones should be called, but on drives to the hoop and quick moves in the paint, I think it's very hard for refs to actually see and know for sure that someone traveled.

LeBron acknowledge recently that he traveled and didn't get caught - He stated that he had a brain freeze and normally does not do that which to my knowledge - He isn't any worse than the rest of them

You know what convinced me that Fisher was a flopper was when he took a hit and when he got up - the biceps on his arms were enormous - I then came to the conclusion that if did not flop - some one would have to carried off the court and it wouldn't be Fisher

lol

The other thing that helped him get away with it is that he took just enough legit charges that he got the benefit of the doubt.

From getting away with bull rushing charges his entire career (If they called the bullushing charges such as they are there isn't a game in his career he wouldn't have fouled out of) to blatant traveling, as well as playing with stacked colluding rosters for a decade now. (Far and away the most supporting help ever next to Bill Russell) .. I think its safe to say Le2ndfiddle is the most PAMPERED player ever.

You do realize AD coming to the Lakers has nothing to do with Lebron, right?

LOL, coming from a Toronto sports fan that just got their first title due to a top 5 player forcing his way off his old team. Ironic.
