But can anyone actually point to a couple of fouls LeBron James committed and weren't called?

This is where I would head with this. When I watch Cavs games, I dont find myself saying "Oh man Lebron just got awway with some major contact there" And the reson is because I dont think Lebron plays very aggressively on the ball. All of his defensive plays come on help defense, getting in the passing lanes, or blocking a fast break layup from behind. He never stands out as an on ball defender and I think the Cavs hide him in this regard so to always keep his fouls down. COMBINE this with the fact that he is a star who prob gets the benefit of the doubt on close calls, and you have 1.73 fouls per game. Also, on the other end he IS aggressive enough to get to the line alot, just like PP is when he is right. Again though he additionally gets the 50/50 calls that could go wither way.

All that being said, I cant stand watching him play. However,you have to give SOME of the credit/blame to Lebron's game.
