I'm not one to focus on this kind of shit, but man am I crazy or do white NBA players get f***** by the referees in the NBA? Do you remember watching Shaq vs Vlade Divac in the Lakers-Kings Western Conference finals series back in the day? Shaq would initiate contact by elbowing Divac in the face, chest, arms as Divac was standing still with both his arms straight up in the air and the refs would call the foul on Divac! How about the Mavs vs Heat series when Dallas was blowing out the Heat in the fourth quarter of the 2006 NBA finals and looking to go up 3-0 in the series, when all of a sudden the refs started calling the most ridiculous bullshit calls against Dallas one after the other. Trust me if you are a seasoned NBA fan and you watch that quarter once again you'll see how ridiculous it was. It was so blatantly obvious that the refs (probably because of orders from the NBA execs) threw that game against Dallas. It was revolting to watch. The NBA wanted Miami with Wade and Shaq as the NBA champions because it would translate into more $$$ than having Dallas with a big white lanky German as the champions. I've seen flagrant fouls against white players go uncalled over and over in the NBA...just watch the Denver Nuggets as the bird man gets bitch slapped and elbowed consistently without getting the calls. I can't list all the times I've seen white players get "accidentally" hit by black players in the NBA and get away with it. Do you remember Nash's bloody nose? How about the beating Ginobili has taken? Even in the NCAA there's bullshit like this...remember Tyler Hansborough's bloody nose from Henderson's game ending elbow? People said it was unintentional, but that's complete bullshit...watch the play in slow motion and you'll see that the ball was no where near Hansborough's face and you can see that there was no need for Henderson to swing his elbow straight into Hansborough's nose and then you could see the smirk on Henderson's face. As an athlete, I know how we can disguise acts of aggression in certain plays. Anyway, back to the NBA...so the latest bullshit against a white player was the Rondo foul on Brad Miller...watch the play and you'll see that Rondo makes no attempt at playing the ball. He goes straight for Miller's face and slaps him silly and the refs do not call the flagrant. I've seen flagrant fouls get called for much less than that. So, the Bulls asked the NBA to review and suspend Rondo. Yesterday, Stu Jackson, the NBA VP of operations upheld the non flagrant call. So, I ask you here: How the f*** can the refs allow Rondo to do that and how can Stu Jackson defend the non- flagrant foul call?! Do you feel white NBA players screwed by the refs? Do you feel that white players are discriminated against in the NBA?
The NBA's statement is below and here is the play:
No penalty for Rondo's hard foul on Miller
Posted Apr 29 2009 8:29PM
WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) -- The NBA said Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo won't be penalized for his hard foul on Chicago's Brad Miller in the closing seconds of Game 5. NBA commissioner David Stern said Wednesday night in Atlanta before the Hawks-Miami Heat game that no flagrant foul call on Rondo was the right call. "I was in Orlando, but I was reliably informed it was not a flagrant foul," Stern said. "Our referees do the best they can in these situations." As result of the NBA's position, there will be no fine or suspension for Rondo or even flagrant foul points that could lead to a suspension if they accumulate. With the Bulls trailing by two in the final seconds of overtime on Tuesday night, Miller had a clear path to the basket. But Rondo jumped and hit him across the face and the lay-in attempt sailed wide. Though Rondo made contact with Miller above the shoulders, NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson said the play fell short of warranting a flagrant foul. "We felt Rondo was making a basketball play and going for the ball after a blown defensive assignment by the Celtic team," Jackson said. "In terms of the criteria that we use to evaluate a flagrant foul penalty one, generally we like to consider whether or not there was a windup, an appropriate level of impact and a follow-through. And with this foul, we didn't see a windup, nor did he follow through. So for that reason we're not going to upgrade this foul to a flagrant foul penalty one." Miller missed the free throws that could have tied it, and the Celtics won 106-104 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.

First, I thought Rondo's foul should have been a flagrant. 2 Brad Miller knocked Rondo down twice in the next game, once with his body, once with his arm...no technical or flagrant was given understanding that they blew that call in the last game. It happens...Dirk Nowitki gets pushed out of bounds with a forearm and Kenyon Martin gets a flagrant 2? Last year in the playoffs when Horry clearly didnt make a play on Nash, he was ejected and suspended the next game. Birdman Anderson should be lucky he's even still playing basketball after his habitual urinalysis failures. He's definately not getting calls...More importantly, he's an enforcer, who's out there to challenge people at the rim and give fouls. Wtf?..Brian Scalabrine's pussy ass has 5 concussions in a week and you lost your shit huh? lol, seriously...stupid. smh. Vlade Divac? the guy was barely mobile, no matter how hard you get hit, in basketball, if you didnt establish position the foul is on you. Period. And Miami vs Dallas...omg, Dallas has the worst playoff defense ever..they're terrible. Dwyane Wade walked all over the team and ripped their hearts out. Dont blame it on the refs
