Some people are going to jump to conclusion and say LeBron is just crying as always but maybe he has a point this time. I watched ever second of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and things got a little chippy late in the game. LeBron found himself in the middle of more than one quarrel after being fouled driving to the basket or while in thr paint. Most of them were regular common fouls but one hard foul by Bismack Biyombo left LeBron wondering exactly what is a fragrant foul and why he never has them called against him when teams try to bully him.
“I have no idea what it is. I know what it is when it happens to someone else, but I don’t know when it involves me. I have no idea what a common foul and flagrant foul is.”
According to BleacherReport.com, there were two questionable fouls that Lebron could be referring to. Once when fouled by Biyombo as previously stated and another when DeMarre Carroll stopped LeBron from scoring by wrapping his arms around his shoulder area.
LeBron is going to have to understand he’s just much bigger and stronger than those guys fouling him, It reminds me of Shaq in his prime. Shaq literally was fouled ever time he caught the ball in the paint but the calls were never made. Simply because it didn’t look like the contact effected him because of his size despite it still being a foul.
