Are you saying that NBA players aren't in need a little discipline? Give me a break.
Christmas Day is going to spectacular on the NBA...
Pacers vs Pistons followed by
Kobe vs Shaq
I'm saying it's becoming tiresome seeing people who don't follow the NBA, proudly proclaim they don't follow the NBA, making proclamations about the sport without knowing it has very few brawls, hasn't had an incident prior to this one of a player going into the stands since 1995, and has had fewer incidents of players going into the stands than baseball. And MUCH fewer brawls and violence overall than baseball.
And really, people, stop using the "thug" codeword. Just come out and say it. It's clear what you mean, the same way it's clear what Pat Buchanan and his ilk actually mean by "Neocon." And why the NBA is getting bashed more than other sports.
