LeBron hasn't fouled anyone since December 8th against the Hornets.


I find this sickening as far as the NBA is concerned. I would love nothing more than a reporter on National tv to ask Stern directly how this could be possible

I'm sure the December 8th foul was an accidental whistle by the official and he was reprimanded accordingly.

He's only been whistled for 6 fouls in December.

Everyone in the NBA who has played 700+ minutes this season, with 35 fouls or less.

29 steals, 19 blocks, and only 32 PF.... hmm

What's interesting is you have players with reputations as either defensive stoppers (Prince, James), or people who play no defense at all (Crawford, Calderon)

Batum's in there, per minute.

It's interesting to exclude guards from the list.

Interesting--I wonder if a steals+blocks-fouls number tells you anything about a player's defense. Durant's 30 (37+33-40) is probably the highest figure in the league. I'm going to have to do some research now...

EDIT: Looks like Duncan is higher than Durant, with 43 (23+67-47), but even more impressive is Andrei Kirilenko with 34 steals, 31 blocks, and only 21 fouls committed in 684 minutes played. I knew he was playing well, but it seems like he's the player most responsible for the Wolves' early decent record.

Neither did MJ, Magic, Bird... The NBA ensures it's top stars play as many minutes as they want to. better for marketing and everyone makes more money.

Looks like everybody should be complaining about Luol Deng, based on minutes played so far.
