Lebron started it.. Steph uses it too
Imagine being such a casual simpleton that you think LeBron is the
first player in NBA history to ever foul bait.
LeBron averages 7 FTs per game for his career. When you consider the sheer physicality of his game that number is actually embarrassingly low.
If anything he gets the Shaq treatment and is allowed to be hacked to death because he’s so strong refs expect him to finish through the contact anyways, which he often does.
Steph is also unfairly officiated. Particularly off ball no other player in league history has been allowed to be grabbed and mauled the way he is and dude consistently ends games with visible scratch marks all over his body just to only have 4 FT attempts. Refs allow it because his shooting ability is so outrageous that the defense needs that handicap.
If both players were reffed objectively they’d be at the line 15x per game with 0 foul baiting.
I encourage you nikkas to actually watch games and stop parroting narratives from equally stupid motherfukkers like yourself on social media.
