What's funny is as a Dallas fan, I'd have killed for him last summer. Now? Y'all can keep his immature, entitled, pussified ass. That guy is the anti-Kobe.
It's annoying because the shit is completely arbitrary and only gets worse in the playoffs. The way opposing teams quite literally hold Durant, Kobe, Anthony, James, and a lot of the other prolific scorers is obscene, but they rarely ever call it. I'd rather that shit get called than the touch fouls and continuation bullshit.
I take it as a sign that they understand that the refs are not consistent with their calls and there is no accountability. They allow mugging off the ball but if you slap at the ball carrier and it is shots. Drajakur is absolutely right about the screens; 90% of the screening in the NBA is illegal but they won't call it because it is an off the ball foul...except occasionally and arbitrarily. One game will see a crew allow the bigs to literally bloody each other for rebounds and on another channel they call a loose ball foul if you get the rebound without touching the guy boxing you out because, well, you were behind him and there had to be contact.
