LeBron traveling causes overreaction?

It took 15 seasons for forward Juwan Howard to be tossed from an NBA game for arguing a call, and he's amazed Wednesday was the first.

Referee Michael Smith charged Howard with back-to-back technical fouls 16 seconds before halftime in Cleveland. Howard, his teammates and coaches were all shocked because Howard was never abusive in his language.

From the bench, Howard said he was telling the refs he thought LeBron James was getting away with traveling. That's a common complaint these days, with James saying a pet move to the basket is a legal jump step, and others disagreeing.

“I said, ‘What the hell was that?” Howard recalled of what got him the first “T.''

“Then I said, ‘You embarrassed you didn't make a call?'” drawing the second technical and an automatic ejection.

Teammate Adam Morrison, who was near Howard during the technicals, confirmed that's all Howard said.

Howard said he'll look into appealing those technicals. Each one costs him a $1,000 fine.

He said the only previous time he was ejected from an NBA game was for committing a flagrant foul in a playoff game.





LOL...looks like the NBA is really tryna protect LeBron's weaksausage.
