Yes and that's why there are multiple referees and a head coach that can get into the ear and influence calls.

It is what it is with star players. The nba is a business and the star players sell jerseys and sell out arenas. Its a business and has always been that way. They don't get calls all the time either. Look at Tyrone Lue when he used to guard Iverson, the beat down the pistons put on MJ, Tony Allen in all of his big games with the Celtics and even now with the Grizzlies.

Once again as a person that has played ball since 4th grade, I would expect a higher basketball IQ..
