Last night watching LeBron 'drive' the lane, a couple of times he lost his dribble, then dove into people trying to get the ball back and the foul is called on the defender.

Also, the drive the lane with the stiff arm/arm bar??? truely pushing people out of the way, combined with him coming in at full speed, not sure it possible to stop him until 1 ref calls an offensive foul on him and yes, the shock on LeBrons face will be priceless, but I think its time to start making the right calls....

The only guy that really got in front of him, Capt Kirk (RIP) and lebron slammed into him, and Heinrich got the foul....

Why do you hate America.

At least you didnt try to tell me what Jordan did for years.

Jordan wasnt strong enough or big enough to create fear of getting run over and then not getting the call. Plenty guys tried to step in on Jordan and some got the call

Get a couple of Anthony Mason/Charles Oakley enforcer types. Have em take out anyone who gets in the lane.

jordan also made off balance shots when the team needed them most. even if nothing worked all game, and at the end they needed a bucket, he would jack up something you didnt see all game and it would go in.

lebron definitely has peaked. everyone complains about rose and his will to shoot, but if you want him to be a good player past the age 28 he doesnt have a choice but to become a great shooter.

Snell did a nice job on Lebron last night on his outside shot. Its how I would always play him. Play the outside shot and double the drive, forcing him left, which Thibbs did last night.

LBJ doesnt dribble left that well and uses the moving arm bar on his left dribble, the great coach makes sure the refs call it.

You will really know when he has declined as a player when he stops receiving the those calls. That is always the tale-tell sign for player decline. I think it has begun to happen. I can remember when not too long ago he would go games without ever being called for a single foul. I seem to remember him going yrs without fouling out of a gm. That is changing somewhat now.
