OH MAN that was so classless fken utah fans are a bunch of ****wits if i sat next to him he would not have lived
Leave it up to a fakers fan to overreact to one idiot jazz fan with his hand over his eye yelling at Fisher during a free throw attempt.
Totally agree. You don't think there might be one a-hole in the Staples Center, or the Toyota Center, on any given night? Recall a Portland fan heckling Maxwell back in the day, about his daughter. Large numbers of humans mixed with beer* and sports equals at least one disgraceful action. * = maybe even 3.2 beer?
And remember B-Bob -- LakersPride is not being sarcastic when he says Utah fans are worshiping the evil -- not just any evil, but THE evil.
C'mon man... fans all over are absolutely capable of being idiots, but I think it's a leap to assume he's making fun of Fisher's daughter and the picture is proof of nothing. For example: No doubt, the guy in the pic with his hands on his hips isn't just resting his arms but he is in fact making fun of women with ovarian cancer. Similiarly, the folks who are cupping their hands to their lips are not trying to amplify their voices but instead making some yet to be defined obsene gesture. Taken out of context you can find offense from anything.
who knows if the dude is rubbing his eye or something.... but i wonder why the dude is yelling.... usually when something is in your eye, you stop what youre doing for a second and then try to get it out of your eye. i think it's more plausible that that one jazz fan is making fun of his daughter and yelling for his attention than him rubbing his eye while yelling.
there's no reason to do that, but what else is there to do in Utah. Those people eat, sleep, marry, work, and come home...they have no sports teams except for the Jazz. There's no choice but to go crazy
Really? This "fact" has not been mentioned in any article about the Fisher booing that I've read. Do you have a source for this?
If there is another eye cancer emergency, would they have time to go from their home to a charter flight to the hospital to save her life? Would they want to risk it, when the have the option to be in the city with one of the leading centers that specialize in this cancer. NY already had 7 guards with Steve Francis, Nate Robinson, Stephon Marbury, Mardy Collins, Jamal Crawford, Fred Jones, and Quentin Richardson. There was never any word of Isiah Thomas trying to to sign Derek Fisher as the 8th guard. NY was also over the cap. The Nets might have used him. The team already had Kidd taking up alot of minutes at PG, and didn't want to hurt the development of rookie Marcus Williams. Lakers offered the children the chance to reconnect with their old friends, and go back to their old stomping grounds. NJ or your children. As beautiful as NJ is, his kids came first.
I'm not very familiar with cancer. Can you explain to me what a "cancer emergency" is? I've always been under the impression that you'd go in for a routinely scheduled checkup, and if they found something, you'd then immediately schedule some treatment. Do Derek Fisher and his wife hook their daughter up to a machine at home that tests for cancer emergencies?
Fisher gave their team a heroic effort in the playoffs last year that he DIDNT have to do. That should at least put things at neutral. If he hated Utah that much, he could have easily stayed in NY with his daughter. Still, eeeeh....not sure what to make of it. I'm pretty sure when he mentioned his intentions to leave that NY, NJ or LA didnt even have him on their radar but still... Even if he used as situation as leverage to get out, he did what he had to do and it worked...but there should be like an automatic 15-20 game suspension or something for doing that. And I dont think the photo is thaaaat incriminating. The dramatic overreaction is probably worse
I can't believe I'm actually seeing this crap. So one fan may have done something that could be deemed offensive and you all blame every Jazz fan? Are you honestly going down this road? Give it up. As for chanting cancer, it never happened, so stop spreading lies. The fans never once chanted cancer over and over again and who cares if they boo Fisher? He's a Laker now. ****, Jazz fans booed Malone when he returned as a Laker. It's like the thing you do because, well, they're L ****ing A. The Pope could come out in a Laker jersey and I'd boo him, knowing full well I'd get slapped upside my head by my Irish Catholic momma.
Everyone knows that the majority of the Jazz fans are full of ****! It's all Utah vs the World, anyone who does anything against you is a criminal.
I'm not quite sure why Derek Fisher is a hero. Has he done something that any other decent parent in America wouldn't do? I give Fisher for taking a paycut to leave Utah, but he still signed a multi-million dollar contract, got to move to a better city, and signed with a team very similar (if not better) than the one he left. How many parents in the world would have the ability to be released free and clear of a multi-year contract from work, still make millions with another employer, and get treated like a true American hero along the way? Can someone explain to me what he's done that's so extraordinary?
I don't think of him as a hero. He had to take care of his family. He has done what any other decent parent would do.
I don't know guys. Shouldn't be players gladiators who must take it all from fans? At least, I think that was the message when Artest was hit with a bottle and there was no penalty towards Pistons oraganization..
