Stan Van Gundy on LeBron James: ‘They’re not going to call offensive fouls on him’

Van Gundy doesn’t like that, in his opinion, referees don’t call offensive fouls on James.

LeBron James scored 10 points in the first quarter of the Cavaliers-Pistons first-round series and Stan Van Gundy wasn't pleased with the way the referees treated him.

“LeBron’s LeBron. They’re not going to call offensive fouls on him, he gets to do what he wants,” Van Gundy complained.

James does frequently play “bully ball,” where he muscles his way through defenders for layups and scores. Sometimes, he probably does get away with fouls. But with the Pistons playing the Cavaliers in the first round, they probably have more important things to worry about.
