Why i hate the NBA...

College basketball officiating is pretty much bottom of the barrel.
The biggest difference is that at least NBA officiating is somewhat similar from game to game.
The very basic fundamentals of what is and isn't a foul change from game to game most of the time in college basketball. You also see inexplicable garbage like jump balls when a ref has no idea what happened and 3 pointers during dead balls in college that you never see in the pros. Home cooking is much less of an issue in the NBA as well, but you could almost argue that it would be better officiating if LeBron were called for his pushoffs and travels when he goes to Boston or Chicago.
Why i hate the NBA...Why didn't you mention tattoos, headbands, leg warmers, arm warmers, traveling, acting, charging, black socks, boring and ubiquitous music and video introductions, whining?
Latrell Sprewell. I gave the NBA up cold turkey after that fiasco, and haven't regretted it since.
As much as I love college basketball, this is true. The League is great right now.

I'm assuming all you guys that hate the way Lebron gets calls also were upset with the way Michael Jordan got EVERY single call too, right?
Don't get me wrong, I love Jordan and he was the best player of all time, but he got every call. It was pathetic.

True this. College game has horrific officiating regarding the charge call. It's just part of the game - much like flopping in soccer.
Only read the first page, but I'm assuming all the pages are the same complaint.
Do you guys think this is something new? Did you watch the NBA in the 90's? Jordan could take out a hunting knife, stab his defender repeatedly, and the refs would call the foul on the defender for getting in the way of the knife. This is all nothing new.

True dat....
The hate that i was expressing was not the star getting every call - i realize this has happened in the NBA, NFL, NCAA, NHL you name it...
But, what i'm really getting sick of is the acting, the exageration only to get the call....i mean how many times can a player flop and get a call - seriously...
And thanks for whoever posted the Bosh-Boozer elbow....a classic Lebron acting class for Bosh and now he's floppin all over the place....Its simple, they rely on the officials inability to see everything so they call the after affects.....simply call what you see, if you dont see it let them play....
BTW - Mavs Thunder game was excellent...physical, calls both ways...it was a great game either way....
