This is VERY hypocritical of the League! If Stu Jackson felt the
decision to NOT suspend LeBron they should have done the same for
Stoudemire and Diaw. The League is just sweeping this under the rug.

Late call lets Cavs star avoid ejection in Game 1
AUBURN HILLS, MICH. - Forget about all the focus on LeBron James and his
decision to pass at the end of Game 1. It turns out that the Cavaliers
were fortunate that he was even playing in the fourth quarter. According
to the rules, James should've been ejected late in the third quarter.
The NBA made no official announcement, but a league official confirmed
Thursday that after a video review, NBA Senior Vice President Stu
Jackson charged James with a flagrant foul-penalty 2 on a play with 1:20
left in the third quarter Monday night. Had it been called at the time,
James would have been ejected.
There was no fine announced, but the usual for flagrant-2 is $5,000.
Jackson could've suspended James for Game 2, but decided against it.
