LeBron James thought that the Raptors got away with a few flagrant fouls during Game 1, and this week said he believed he is held to a different standard than any other player in the league.

James said via ESPN.com:

“I have no idea what it is. I know what it is when it happens to someone else, but I don’t know when it involves me. I have no idea what a common foul and flagrant foul is.”

He went on:

“I thought Tristan’s throwdown last night was a little excessive, but he went up there and made two free throws and that’s all that matters. I’ve pretty much chalked it up to common fouls [being called] with me [getting hit].”

When told about James’ comments, the Raptors’ DeMarre Carroll fired back with his own explanation:

“Maybe because we don’t act.”

He suggested that LeBron’s reputation as an actor goes against him in the minds of officials while, in his opinion, the Raptors don’t exaggerate contact.

The only flagrant call in Game 1 was called on Kevin Love in the third quarter.

This series has had its fair share of trash talk. Before it even began, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said he believed “LeBron is probably one of the best players in the league besides Stephen (Curry).”

He later backed off his comments, though, clarifying:

“I would never throw (any) shade on one of the greatest players in history of basketball. I would never do that. Some people will take it for too much. LeBron is LeBron James. He’ll probably be (one of the) top three players of all time when he retires.”

Cavaliers lead the series 1-0, with Game 2 being played tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).
