About Lebum being treated different and not getting calls! Technically isnt his block on the dunk a goaltending? The ball is on the way down and in the cylinder!

How will you be able to tell the difference? That seems like a normal game for him.
LeBron James, like any high-profile player, often sparks debates about officiating. Regarding his block in question, the NBA goaltending rule states that a defender cannot block a shot that has already reached its highest point and is on its downward trajectory towards the basket. If the ball is on its way down and touches the backboard or is in the cylinder above the rim, it's typically considered goaltending. However, officiating can be subjective and depends on the referees' judgment in real-time. These decisions often lead to heated discussions among fans and analysts alike.
