Lebron gets different treatment than most superstars...
He is currently 6th in the NBA scoring at 30.2ppg, however he is 20th in FTA per game at 6.2.

The 5 players ahead of LeBron on the scoring list are below with their FTAs per game and where that ranks::
Embiid - 11.7 (2nd)
Doncic - 11.0 (3rd)
Giannis- 13.4 (1st)
Tatum - 8.8. (6th)
Alexander - 10.2 (4th)

Ahead of LeBron are guys like rookie Paulo Banchero who gets 7.2 FTA. It gets worse when you look at FTa/FGa, LeBron isn't even in the top 100.

Last night in a game where the nba admitted they blew a call on LeBrons game winning drive, LeBron played 44 minutes and score 41 points. He went 5-6 from the line. In that same game Celtics stars were:
Tatum 30 points, 10-11 FTs
Brown 37 points 9-11 FTs
Brogdon 26 points 7-8 FTs

Does the NBA conspire against LeBron? Probably no. But it is interesting that as a superstar he doesn't really get calls.
