Something needs to be done about the NBA referees. If you don't Marc Gasol was thrown out of a game for pointing at the jumbotron while talking to a fan. The Ref likely felt Marc was trying to "show him up". Ever since NBA Commissioner David Stern enpowered the ref to throw out player for complaining this have gottten worse. Mr.Stern says that the strict enforce is needed because players today were going to far. Except for the fact, past generation of players were allowed to complain & there was no probelm then. This rule is a attempt to pander to fans who don't like today's NBA players. These fans feel that they are whinny thugs, who make too much money. While trying to win back these fans Mr.Stern has created a new probelm. The belief some refs pay favorites. The fact is someplayers get called for Techs & others don't, for doing the samethings. I have seen Kobe Bryant run up the court complaining to refs, NO CALL! I am a Laker & I feel that is messed up. LBJ gets away with it to. David Stern needs to end zero tolerence & tell his refs that they are not the show. Or we get this!
Tim Duncan being thrown out for laughing. The only reason this became a big story was due to Duncan's good rep. Mr.Stern should remember the many fans feel the NBA is fixed & that rogue refs make the NBA look bad. If the NBA keeps zero tolerence one a ref will get caught doing something improper & then Stern will have to explain why he defended refs even when everybody knew their calls were wrong.
