Yes...he does get pounded day in and day out because like Sandra said, he has the ball more than anyone else in his team. And I agree with you that there are calls that are missed. Now are you actually saying that he does not get special treatment?
Only 3 players have that major carte blanche.....Wade, Lebron and Kobe..
...if you don't think those guys get the most "benefit of the doubt"....I wanna drink what your drinking...
This is as subjective as it gets. What some people see as special treatment, others see totally opposite. There is no right or wrong answer here.
