Much like with the Smart "Holy Ghost" offensive foul draw against Lebron, it's hard to fault refs when it takes a slow down replay to see the foul. Had Lebron hit his head or even shoulder, I could see the foul. But giving him a partial high 5 after initially blocking the ball isn't really going to be called in real time. Plus, the timing and skill to block him based on the angle is pretty impressive. In this era of players being unwilling to potentially get posterized, it's nice to see a star try to contest dunks. Sometimes it works (Rozier) and sometimes it doesn't (Tatum). But, overall, Lebron's willingness to try the block does get in people's heads.
