    Ehh I don't know Jones but how many 21 year olds actually wait until they are 21 to start drinking?

    Come on stomping a sleeping homeless man is the act of a moron and idiot and that is what he did.

    Again that's an opinion.....which should exclude judgment. So no my friend you are wrong.

    I never said it was right, just that he made a bad decision (while being drunk) and he should learn from it and move on.most on here act as if they are saints! !!!! Its crazy.

    For everyone who says to trade him would you guys want Kevin Love who stepped on Scola's face?

    F-up if it's true.

    Kind of reminds me when i was 15 and seeing this middle age man pointed and laughed at a homeless man at a distant. I hope T Jones isn't that type of person.

    We don't know if this was an Edward Norton American History X stomp, or just a playful love tap -- people are really rushing to judgement on this one. Had it been an assault, he wouldn't have been charged with a misdemeanor harassment.

    Guy was drunk. Was not charged with assault. Should be suspended for a game or so. But I wouldn't write him off just yet as being the worst human being in the world or anything.

    That's one of the funniest out of context things I have ever read.

    It was a hard enough stomp, but didn't cause any damage or anything. The guy was fine.

    Wow, a 21 year old millionaire stomping on a homeless guy that's down on his luck. That's pathetic.

    And people defending him on this have issues. Look, at 21, he should get a second chance to get his head straight on this, but he needs to be a man, own this and realize how f-ed this is. Something he should be ashamed of.

    Not after this he won't be. I hope he takes half of what Jones makes this year just to teach him a lesson

    That was on the court during "battle". Scola was fully awake and they were both being paid $100K to be there that night. Completely separate realities.

    I don't believe he was out there at night and hunted down homeless persons for stomping on them as Kevin Love did to Scola's face.

    Until further proof I think it is a minor incident and no aggression and motives behind his act.
    He lost his cool for a moment, and did wrong.

    I'm with you but the stupid things I did, like getting in a fight after leaving a bar, was with other idiots like myself. Kicking a homeless guy while he sleeps is classless at any level. On par with making fun of r****ded kids. I'll give him a pass but he has a scarlet letter on his dress.

    To those that say allegedly, a Sgt saw him do it. I know, cops are crooks...blah blah blah. There are certain scenarios where the likelihood of a cop being a dick are low and this is one of them. I'm going to play the percentages on this one.

    Well... damn. I thought he was going to be our starter. He still can be if he's either innocent or owns up to it completely. But damn.

    Let's hope Greg Smith improves his defense!

    I disagree. A sober veteran tried to assault a player in front of tons of people by stomping on his face. In the other case, a drunk 21 year old woke up a homeless guy while he was trying to sleep.
