i know lebron isn't really involved in this post but it's just crazy he's only at 6.1 per game this season, given how much his play style still revolves around the rim

Well, the NBA can't be out here allowing the old face of the league to get more free throw calls if they want to replace him with someone younger! Gotta artificially pump up Embiid's stats somehow!

Lmfao it’s so funny hearing every non-lakers home broadcast being like “welp it’s LeBron James he will get those calls!” Whenever he gets fouled even slightly while he is bulldozing to the rim without flopping and Embiid can just flail and get 12 FTA a game.

It’s why he is the Harden of Centers, that playstyle isn’t winning you shit.

Cavs bros know how it feels, it's been happening his whole career. He's just too strong on the initial contact, hence why the flopping afterwards

I watched LeBron for 11 years get half the calls Embiid gets while he was like 30 pounds lighter and shorter than Embiid while also finishing at the rim more frequently. It's bullshit.

There was a game I watched back in 2018 when LeBron was at his peak in terms of singular ability, and he got walloped by some center (could have been Embiid) and he was pissed he didn't get a call. Replay showed the hit and the official turning a blind eye. Just a testament to his strength and ability to play and finish through the contact.

LeBron getting the Shaq treatment despite being 4 inches shorter and at least 50 pounds lighter is wild

Was happening well before his Laker days. Pretty sure that play where Ibaka broke his nose on a drive didn't even get a whistle for a common foul. Game thread was "LE FLOP LOLOL" until the camera showed blood dripping on the floor.
