I think another factor is that the refs don't want to be seen as giving favoritism towards him at this stage either.
I have league pass so I have watched all the guys you mentioned numerous times. Melo for example will draw similar contact as Lebron and march to the line all night long. Same for guys like Maggette, Mason, etc. It's just something Lebron is going to have to deal with cause I don't see it changing anytime soon.

I think even Charley Rosen agreed with this. Basically Lebron is almost too big and strong for his own good as he's bigger then any SF not named Corey Maggette and has more bulk then PF's like Gooden. This will get better as refs tend to start giving you calls once you pay your dues and you get savvier about dare I say flopping. Look at Kobe the dude gets a bad look by another player and will go to the line. This isn't a knock on Kobe but that's what kind of treatment veterans get if they still have the kahunas to go inside (are you listening Vince Carter).
