Shaq used to do the same thing where he would step over the line and never got called.
You can probably call a lane violation on just about every free throw attempt where someone is either standing on 3 point line or goes into the key early. Just one of those rules that isnt enforced at the NBA level.

"Rules are rules" is dumb when talking about conferred advantage. Not following rules is not an unfair advantage in and of itself because you don't have to practice them like everybody else – particularly when the rule itself is essentially meaningless – whether it's a slightly under inflated football or how you lean as you're shooting a FT.
Gortarts moving hip check screens may be the death of me this series. Just once if hed prerend to set his feet for a nano second id feel better
Holy shit yes. I don't mind if that's how they're going to call it but last game and I think it was Game 1 they called Horford for an early illegal screen while Gortat is lead blocking on the other end. I want consistency
I was a particular fan of the play where the pulling guard and the rest of the washington offensive line shoved the whole pile forward and Horford fell and they called him for the foul. Or maybe it was offsides - it was hard to tell.
