The league p*ssy and so is it's best players
The ref will have more respect for you if you are not showing him (or her) up by getting all dramatic. I never said Jordan didn't have diva moments, he did. But most were him in the refs ear quickly during transition or a stare down but not bugged eyes looking at the ref likeand carrying on and throwing a tantrum like somehow that is going to get you the foul.

Lakers file complaint with NBA over hard fouls on Dwight Howard | Yardbarker.com
When you are a big man in the NBA, you will consistently take a beating. It just comes with the territory of banging around under the basket. But when you are a liability at the free throw line, many teams decide to just take their chances and foul a big man and deal with the results at the free throw line. Lakers center Dwight Howard only shoots 49% at the free throw line. So he most certainly falls into that category. But the problem becomes all the fouls and beating that Dwight ends up taking because of his free throw woes. Fouls that recently resulted in a shoulder injury that has left the center sidelined for the Lakers most recent stretch of games. It appears the Lakers dont like how hard some of the fouls have been and decided to do something about it. Via T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times: Theres a protocol to airing opinions or complaints with the NBA. And weve done that. said Mitch Kupchak.

but what other choice do they have? if you dont make it stop, they fouls will only get harder... if you retaliate you get thrown out..
pretty much complain to ref is the only thing you can do..
if you "take it like a man" you will end up taking it prison style.![]()
The refs were also less p*ssy back then. They didn't call T's for players looking at them wrong or talking to them the wrong way... That's why players flop more. They need to sell the call to the officials because officials don't call a lot of shyt they should, and they have no recourse or forum to say anything about it. If a player tries to say something during the game, they gonna get a T. If they say it to the media, they gonna get fined. It's a lose lose situation...
New players are pussies, LeBron included. These aren't even hard fouls this dude is complaining about either. I wanna snap the neck of the next homosexual softy who complains about being fouled hard, when you're fouled hard you can't get up. Also, the audacity of LeBron complaining when he has Wade as his teammate who is known for 'hard fouls.'
