Ball first...defender has just as much right to the space on the court as the offensive player.
Along with Rollo on this one...if you watch it from the sideline angle, defender appears to end up straight in front of him. The body contact was insignificant as the offensive player rotated due to his momentum and getting the ball rejected...the arm contact after the fact are nil due to the clean block. Lebron in the case takes off and continues the same path as he took off to get to the ball. He has a right to that space on the floor just as the offensive player in my opinion.
Now...let't have one on LBJ's block/charge call on Thursday...
