Referee blocks Kris Humphries' free throw

Found December 12, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Kris Humphries
TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets,  Toronto Raptors

I don’t know what’s up with the refs sometimes these days, but it looks like they want to get as much attention that they can. That’s what happened with Courtney Kirkland, as he tried blocking Kris Humphries‘ free-throw attempt in the fourth quarter as the Brooklyn Nets took on the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night. Kirkland’s motive for such a move? It appears that the subs were trying to come in and Kirkland didn’t want Humphries shooting his free throws in the middle of that. But really Courtney? You didn’t need to go overboard with it; it’s like Joey Crawford all over again. Better defense than the Raptors, though.

I've always heard that a good referee is one that you don't notice. A good referee will make the right calls and go about his job without making himself the center of the game. To be honest, with the referees in the NBA, this is quite rare. From Joey "Look at Me" Crawford to Dick "The Crypt Keeper" Bavetta these refs seem to try to make themselves...
