Way way way too many fouls called on 3 point attempts. IMO - if you go up for a shot, release it, unless you are completely straight up you may land against a player and that is just basketball. I saw Harden shoot a 3, kick a guy in the nuts, and the guy got called for a foul. Usually those are re viewable to see if dangerous intent but I guess they just don't care.
The way the NBA is reffed highly favors floppers and less physical players that are crafy. LeBron is very physical, and gets punished for it. The amount of fouls LeBron should get called on his drives and post ups is way way too low if you compare them to guys like Harden.
