"that was a bogus play by Oberto, and I'm glad they didn't call a charge. Doesn't matter if it was in the first or fourth quarter, doesn't matter if it was Sasha Pavlovic driving, you just don't call it. Fabricio isn't even defending the rim! He's facing sideways! I'm yelling things!" [link]

        If you watch the video 10 times like I did, it would appear that Oberto doesn't even have his feet set when James ran into him, which would negate the charge. I do appreciate that neither a block nor charge was called on the play, though. No blood, no foul.

When LeBron Drives Head First Into People, It's an Offensive Foul
Published 1/20/2008 by Brett Edwards at FanHouse
... The excellent Kelly Dwyer over at the Yahoo! NBA Experts Blog has a passionate piece about how this is basically a flop by Oberto, he's glad that the refs didn't make a call, and that these types of defensive plays, where players are simply "trying to draw charges" must stop. Now normally I'd agree 100% with this argument, mainly because a) I hate the Spurs, and b) I can't stand the defensive flop in basketball. But I think in this particular instance, KD has it all wrong. ...
