Is it just me, or does Lebron James get ever single call of every single game he plays? It seems like everytime Lebron drives to the basket, the referees immediately call a foul on any player who is surrounding him. The Cavs defeated the Wizards in a thrilling game 1 of first round NBA playoff action.
The Cavs won by a final score of 93-86. The final score is deceiving because the game experienced 6 lead changes and at one point, the Wizards were up by 11. The game had so many storylines coming in, and the overall story started to unveil itself. There was a scuffle at the end of the first half with Lebron, Brendan Haywood, and Antawn Jamison. This probably had something to do with all of the trash talk that has been going back and forth between Lebron, Deshawn Stevenson, and Gilbert Arenas. Arenas came off the bench in the first half and was on fire. Gilbert was hitting long range 3 pointers left and right. Lebron started off cold, but elevated his game during crunch time.
Now, don't get me wrong. Lebron James is an amazing talent. He can drive to the basket as well as anyone in the league and he can make a long range shot from time to time. But, everytime I see Lebron go to the basket, a foul is called. EVERY SINGLE TIME! I want to say most of these fouls are legit, but I don't think they are. Lebron James was named King James before he played a game in the league. Drafted right out of high school, the NBA crowned him before he touched a basketball in the NBA. That being said, I guess it would make sense that he gets a lot of games given to him and the Cavs.
The Cavs beat the Wizards fair and square. The Wiz couldn't hit a shot in the 4th quarter and the 4th quarter is when the Cavs play their best ball. I don't mind seeing Lebron take over a game single-handedly, but at least let it be fair. Ever since this guy has been in the league, he gets everything handed to him. But, I have to give credit when credit is due. Lebron James single-handedly defeated the Wizards.
