Technical Fouls, with 15.
Almost every other team has twice or three times as many as us. The Clips are first with 78.
Lol .....ha ha .....of Course .....Glen Rivers , CP3 and Matt Barns......three Of the biggest whiners and complainers in the league ......but they can never hold a candle to the supreme diva whiner maybe of all time .
Queen LeBron ... Allowed to complain about every play , every call ...and almost never has a technical called on him.
Paying off the refs
Jordan was the same way. How many times did he verbally assault an official without even getting a stern look (pun intended). Sigh.
Yep started with Jordan. First true superstar treatment. Imagine if wilt and Russ got ref help like Jordan and Lebron. I appreciate magic and bird SO much more
It was Jordan's league from 90-91 on. Well, technically, he was treated like god the moment he stepped onto an nba court, but beginning with that particular season, they had his buddy Ahmad doing the sidelines, NBC, especially Bob Costas, ugh, was so far up his keister that watching games from that period are nauseating, the media was all about him, Dick Bavetta asked for a pair of his shoes after a game, and he could whine and throw a temper tantrum without any fear of repercussions. The league also changed the rules for him prior to the 90-91 season regarding flagrant fouls, after he, Phil, and Scottie whined about the tactics used by the Pistons, and the officials went for it. Interesting how the league opted to protect MJ and not the Celtics from the thuggery used by Detroit, even though a few of our coaches voiced concerns about it. Not even the Lakers could get those calls - well, most of the time. Why should it be any different for Michael? If you watch that 91 series between the Bulls and Pistons, objectively, which isn't that hard for me since I hate both those teams, lol, Detroit got hosed. Not that I feel sorry for them, but the calls were ridiculous. Look at the move by MJ starting at 0:43 - his left foot slid - that's a travel. If he shot over his right shoulder, fine, because his right foot didn't move, but if not, he walked. That's an easy one. At 1:10, he blatantly shoves off Dumars and Aguirre right in front of Detroit's bench, with no call, and at 2:04 he pushes off Salley with his right arm, again without consequence, and don't get me started about his 'dribbling' or how he always managed to cleanly strip the ball from the guy he was guarding (sarcasm).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe5IKgKKjJwAt least the Pistons were a team. That's my other complaint with Jordan - great players don't need a 'system' to get the other players good shots and points, because that's what Bird, Magic, and Isiah did naturally. They could play in any 'system.' Imo, Michael ruined the game. He's also the luckiest superstar of all time, to play in the watered-down 90s, and never have a rivalry like Bird or Magic. Had Bias and Lewis lived, Jordan doesn't win 6 titles - he would have been lucky to win 1. Bias + Lewis > Jordan and Pippen, but don't tell that to ESPN - you'll be crucified. How dare you insult the myth of MJ (sarcasm).
Sigh.
Don't forget about Magic, though - half is points came from throwing himself into players, crying, getting the call, and making the subsequent free throws. He taught Pierce how to draw fouls, so that's how Paul got so good at it, although he never did it in the manner that Magic did.
Sorry for the rant, lol.
