He gets the benefit of the doubt with most calls and he is constantly whining all game long. The refs should start giving him the same calls they give Olynyk to show him just how good he has it.

It’s just constant with him. He’s smart and never gets frustrated enough to get a tech but just due to the quantity of bitching I wish they would tech him once or twice

Did you watch Jordan, Magic, or Bird? They all complain.

It goes both ways on Lebron. I've seen him get shafted like Shaq because they are both gigantic human beings, but also get the weakest penalties out there.

Magic complained...Jordan rightfully complained as he would get tomahawked going to the basket and the league wasn't calling shite back then.

You could punch Laimbeer and he comlained all the time in the face and it would be a two-shot foul.

I never saw Bird complain.

Biggest whiner ever though is Rasheed Wallace.

Well apparently that didn't last after his playing days.

Bird's chirping about bad officiating
quote:

Jordan hears this and just laughs.

"Larry sounds more like a coach when he starts to complain that I'm getting more calls than his team is getting," he said. "Back in the day when he played, we certainly complained about all of the calls he was getting. Now that he's complaining, we know he's a coach."
Although complaining about the officiating as a coach is pretty standard (and sometimes helps). But this recent one is a bit ridiculous:

NBA great Larry Bird complains after an artist paints a mural of him with tattoos all over his body
quote:

"Larry's only issue with the mural was the tarnishing of his image and his 'brand' by affixing tattoos to his body," said Salle, who added that he received a picture of the artwork from Bird last Friday.
quote:

Bird's team sent an email to Muck asking her to take the artwork down and citing "unauthorized promotional value to her brand" and six trademarks owned by Bird, according to CNN affiliate WISH.

Jimmy Butler offensive foul vs LeBron no call

Superstars get calls. That’s just a fact in the NBA. This was bullshite. Anyone disagree?

That is telling. And is a theme that black players complained that Bird got all the calls.

I don't remember it that way...but it still shows the resentment.

And Jordan got every call in the book. The league didn't know what to do with him and just called a foul on every drive he made.

I think Jordan earned his stripes between 1986-1990 and was fouled egregiously. But after that, you couldn't touch him.
