http://youtube.com/watch?v=fydhtOSlfW0&mode=related&search=Marquis tries to avoid wade and still gets called for the foul.
lol..that was a foul? :g: BTW Want to see some bias officiating? Here you go:http://youtube.com/watch?v=T6SpBM8dB4kAnd that went on for that whole road trip..but I do realize that the bad calls with Wade were on a bigger stage(NBA finals) and is a bigger deal.
Guys, the whole Mavs series was being called tightly, not just for Wade. When you drive so much to the rim like Wade and Bron do, they get calls. And in the phantom foul #3 video I can clearly see how the refs on the side view would see that as a foul, he took a swipe and Wade sold it.PS- Lakersfan247, Kobe takes 11FTA's per game to Wade's 10.7 and Bron's 10.3, and both wade and Bron drive more and are more agressive to the basket, so don't act like Kobe doesn't get the superstar treatment a lot either. It basically comes down to the new rules, and the general rule of thumb that people who are more consistently agressive will get calls.

He gets the treatment like all stars do, but he also gets the most missed calls out of anyone. Heaven forbid the refs let Wade or LBJ get touched, but there are a lot of games were Kobe gets hit hard with no calls. He's the only player that gets both treatments.
This goes for all superstars in the league. It gives a disadvantage to good teams such as Detroit and Chicago who really have no superstars on their team. I swear to God LeBron was in the referee's locker room before every game durring the Detroit series doing something that had NOTHING to do with basketball. I will leave it at that.
