When a foul isn't called, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers isn't shy in expressing his displeasure with the officials.
LeBron James has yet to receive a technical this season, causing Michael Corvo of Clutch Points to share an article saying that he is the goat when it comes to battling with officials and avoiding getting in trouble.
Fun piece from @melissarohlin on the Art of Complaining in the NBA. Apparently, LeBron is the GOAT at respectfully bickering with officials.https://t.co/7trNnjA9qZ pic.twitter.com/RD4u8e89Ag

Given that LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is perhaps the greatest player of all time, it's understandable that the officials don't award him a technical. People come to the Lakers games to see LeBron play, and they don't want to be in a scenario where he may be ejected from the game for collecting two technical fouls.
It's a touch unjust to other players who have a negative reputation in the league, but it's exactly what LeBron deserves, given that he's been in the game for a long time and has undoubtedly been the best player in the world in each of the seasons he's been in this league
What's really funny about LeBron James not receiving any technicals this season is that the Lakers have a slew of guys on their roster who have. Guys like Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, who each have 12 technical fouls this season, are leading the league in technical fouls.
LeBron has only been ejected from two games in his NBA career. It just demonstrates the kind of respect the Lakers player receives, and it's difficult to argue that he doesn't deserve the respect he receives from the officials.
