Refs literally refuse to call fouls for Marcus... Let's be real LBJ would be at the line all day with that same contact
Youre joking right?
Do you seriously think that Lebron doesn't get to the line for similar contact?
no completely different man. It's funny to even have to respond to this. Lebron is a an athletic beast. Defenses have to do whatever to stop him. Sometimes he gets the 'benefit' of the call but it's because he's the best in the league at attacking the rim.
Smart has limitations with his lift. He clearly tries to offset that by trying to use his body to throw the defender off. But he ends up not having enough lift to absorb the contact and still have body control to finish. He's not getting the benefit of doubt here cause he's constantly in a weak position where Lebron is in a strong position when going to the rim.
