Is this a lack of respect?
Someone on a Memphis page said that they lost respect for LeBron because he was lobbying for foul calls. However, I think that LeBron doesn't get nearly as many foul calls as he should. Right now LeBron is 19th in the NBA in free throw attempts per game and tied for 17th in total free throw attempts (tied with Ray Allen). Is this about right? Right now he is behind players like Maggette, Pierce, Jefferson, Francis, Artest and Desmond Mason. Several of these players have a much more perimeter oriented game than LeBron, but in addition some players are just more savvy at generating obvious contact (Pierce for instance). It seems a lot of times LeBron generates contact he is called for the offensive foul instead.
