In the NBA, if you're a superstar driving the lane, you're getting foul calls.
Some guys get far more than others and that's because they are better at doing it. Harden, for example, is one player that excels in this regard. But he is doing nothing different than what Kobe Bryant (and many others) have done for years at this level. To hate on him in particular for taking advantage of how games are officiated in the modern NBA is absurd.
