If you think superstars always get the call, I invite you to watch this

I'm not fond of having to defend LBJ, but I've got to in this instance. I happened to be watching LA-Boston last night and this is one of the worst no-calls I have ever seen. This literally cost the Lakers the game. Idk who that bald ref is standing on the baseline, but that dude should be jobless this morning. He was literally about 5 feet away and swallowed his whistle when this happened.

I see nothing wrong with that noncall and I'd like to commend said bald ref of the baseline for not just making the call because of who the shooter was. 😎😉😎😉

That was a great game and who knew Patrick Beverly would do his best MJ performance late in that game.

They don't always, but they usually do.

Ummmm... Jayson Tatum is a superstar and got the call.

After watching this play again a handful of times yesterday, Lebron could have easily been called for a travel before Tatum came close to touching him.

Also the amount of attention given to this one play since saturday night has really been pretty crazy, this wasn't a playoff game. The Lakers still had plenty of chances to win the game in OT but it looked like Lebron just tuned out at that point.
It kind of reminded me of that Game 1 against the Warriors in 2018 when JR Smith screwed up at the end of regulation before losing in OT. I swear we saw this same facial expression from Lebron late in this Celtics game.
