12 FTA vs 6 FTA, this is why PPG has become meaningless to me, sure it’s easy averaging 35 if you get 12 free throws per game

Embiid , giannis and Luka benefit greatly from the whistle.
It is what it is. They are the new faces of the league I guess.

If LeBron got the respect of the whistle he would shoot free throws every time he drives to the rim, but refs let people just hack him and stare blindly into oblivion, it’s ridiculous

I wish young LeBron would be playing in today’s NBA, just to expose how “fake” these crazy numbers that certain players are putting up actually are.

So basically if the refs were fair, LeBron would be in the MVP conversation

Haha it’ll never make sense to me why the face of the NBA gets a bad whistle. It’s like if the refs worked against Brady he wouldn’t be the best ever. Lebron made it far in spite of the refs

AD also gets hacked all the time! It’s crazy

So obviously I can’t stand the way Embiid foul baits and Lebron constantly gets shafted, but comparing FGA like this is not an apples to apples comparison because shot attempts don’t count if you are fouled unless the shot goes in.
A lot of Lebron’s shots last night were pretty clean attempts on off-ball cuts or clean jumpers, i.e. he wasn’t absorbing contact. He didn’t have many other times where he missed a shot but was fouled, but when that happened it was already counted in his FGA.
Embiid on the other hand clearly had a lot more shot attempts than his FGA indicate, since he went to the line so often.
