More than that, the powers that be need to tell EVERYONE who is associated or has ever been asociated with the NBA to shut up. From Barkly, to Bird they need to keep quiet. I am not a basketball fan but I have been following this out of morbid curiosity and I have concluded that there is a sociopathic vein in the NBA. They can not understand the law even if they wanted to. They feel it is a right to assault another person. This is a PR nightmare.
NittanyLion....unfortunately that is the exact thought I had this morning after seeing this train wreck.
The NBA and professional sports, will get what they deserve, if they keep catering to this "gangsta" thug mentality. The coaches, owner's and the back offices of these teams always fail to take action against these demented players. The Big Business of sports has taken over for good old-fashioned sportsmanship.
