I haven't watched the Bucks this year but I swear every game people bitch about calls on Giannis, its always a situation where he's absolutely getting fouled (He's a hard guy to defend!)
It's like prime LeBron. You get whacked in the head and there won't be fouls called but if you barge into the defender you're drawing a blocking foul.
The crazy thing is that LeBron never got the friendly whistle anywhere near as consistently as Giannis, which is the opposite of what you'd expect considering he's the face of the league. If you look at his peak and average free throw rate and compare them to players like Giannis and Butler it's astounding what a huge difference there is.
