Except there was no proof that he even made contact with Lebron’s junk, and the punishment here is not equal despite the above and the fact that Lebron put him on the floor and purposefully stepped over him.

In my opinion, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an NBA player who has decided on more opportunities to simply bulldoze directly into several defenders around the hoop hoping to get bailed out with a foul call or somehow muscle his way to the basket.
I do think Delly is a legit player, and the majority of “dirtiness” is simply guys being babies or wanting a reason to hate him for giving 110% effort. Nevertheless, if that kid was playing against me in a pickup game, I would want to knock his fuckin’ teeth out.
Well, off the top of my head, complaining about Green to the media, and thus the NBA hierarchy while ignoring the fact that he instigated the whole issue by dropping Green and purposefully stepping over him.
Delly is only an asshole for people who hate people who actually give effort ..... and most of us can’t stand people who try all the time
Well how about the whole team pull their pants down and hang their junk out at the pitcher while chanting suck it, suck it, suck it. And why not have the batter go around and spit on every player he runs by in his home run procession?
I didn’t see any issue with the light flip of his bat, nor the staring it down. I actually think the entire thing would’ve been avoided if the catcher didn’t feel the need to say something while he’s about to touch home plate and then the subsequent “dance” by the batter.

Yes agreed, and then I would expect we compare the two equally in regards to the foul calls both received (and I wouldn’t say Lebron is anywhere near favored in that respect).
I agree that Shaq is in the exact same category, but Shaq didn’t get fouled the same as Lebron (nor does Lebron get fouled the same as Shaq did - center vs forward). They both deserved more fouls, and didn’t receive them due to their size. A foul is a foul in basketball, regardless of the size of the player. It’s…
Ok, which other events has he participated in that cause him to deserve this much criticism? I’m not saying Lebron is perfect, but I have a hard time finding a better superstar athlete (let alone one who as been famous since age 16) who has been as good (publicly) as him. If his worst events are “The Decision” and…
I don’t remember them really ever NOT getting the calls that Lebron doesn’t get. I agree Lebron complains too much, but he also gets hit more often around the hoop without getting the call than any player on your list. He’s not allowed to play to his size and strength (or else he’s a “bully”) and if he looks/complains…
Is soccer included as a major sport? If so, clearly I think we would all choose soccer players.
I mean, in his defense, I don’t think I’ve seen a superstar NBA athlete get less calls around the hoop than Lebron does and be hyper-criticized for one charitable event (we all agree, including Lebron, was poorly handled - The Decision).
Lebron was assessed a technical, which is worse, correct?
Lebron getting separated by Frye and Smith (clearly wasn’t backing down to draymond) is less tough than Draymond’s nut shot and subsequent walk-away? I’m just extremely confused how Draymond walks away from this situation as the “tougher” guy.
Not sure what you use to measure toughness, but it’s almost unbelievable he has logged as many minutes as he has (more than anyone in history) and has rarely been injured. I would call that tough before I would call a guy supposedly unintentionally hitting other men in the nuts tough.
I’m confused, did Lebron not have a reason to complain between the literally never set multiple screens or the shot to the nuts (post draymond flop)?
Mostly starred for the random dolphin picture .... and I’m not sure why
I said you were tough. I never implied that you called yourself tough. My analogy wasn’t meant to be witty. It was meant to show the lack of logic in your points.
