Taj Gibson was surprised to hear LeBron James complain about hard fouls committed by the Chicago Bulls in their win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.

"I think he's too good of a player to do that," Gibson said on "The Carmen & Jurko Show" on ESPN 1000.

"You just play, two teams really going out there and play hard, going to the basket extremely hard and physical."

James mentioned fouls by Kirk Hinrich and Gibson as not being "basketball plays." He said Gibson collared him on a drive to the basket with 4:01 left in the fourth quarter.

"I didn't try to collar him," Gibson said. "I just fouled him. It wasn't intentionally.

"I just tried to make a play on the ball, but I fouled him. When he fell, it looked like I collared him. I was really trying to grab him, just not hold him up. Nobody was intentionally trying to hurt anybody out there. When he said those comments, I was really shocked. But it's part of the game, I guess."
