players on the wrong end of the stick

[LilRip]

since there's a thread that talks about the Biggest Floppers in the NBA, i'm curious who people think are the players that routinely get jobbed by the refs. It's either they're getting fouled all the time but it never gets called, or they're not doing anything foul-worthy but they get fouls called on them.

in my opinion, it's Shaq, and anyone guarding Kobe.

[Roy H.]

Semih, and just about any other non-marquis rookie.

[Kiorrik]

Daniels. Daniels just can't get it right. I've seen him get hit with foul after foul in several games, while he didn't do anything wrong.

Same (ish) for Rondo, in that he can't get any call.

Biggest one is an ex-Celtic though.

Rasheed Wallace.

other notables:

DeAndre Jordan
Cleveland Cavaliers
and
Kareem ;P

Anybody guarding Kobe/LeBron/Wade. Erden gets fouled a lot but hardly gets any calls.

Shaq too since he called out what his face.

Perkins gets his share too
but also people like Tony Allen, shane battier, jackson, artest and some deffensive specialist (or supposed to be)

Shaq is a prime example of being on the short end. The poor guy can't fight for position whether offensively or defensively without being called for a foul. Just because the guy is bigger than everybody else doesn't necessarily mean what he's doing is a foul. Also I agree that anybody guarding Kobe, LeBron, or Wade is going to get called for a foul for looking at them wrong.

A few others:
DeMarcus Cousins (leads the NBA in fouls per game with 4, while only playing 26 minutes per)
Rookies always get called for the wrong things too

Yeah, Shaq especially ... other players run into him, and because he's so immovable, they bounce off him like bouncing off a brick wall, and he ends up getting the whistle! Not right at all. Give him credit ... he hardly ever complains about it.
