Grabbing another guys crotch is dumb...doing it on national tv is really dumb. Howard could get suspended for harrasment..nba is very pc these days.
My friends and I always try to make each other uncomfortable, and this is pretty standard procedure. Should be taken as a sign of good chemistry.
Sorry man, but I take my D serious all the time. It's nothing to joke about unless it's my woman doing it. If Dwight and Canaan's are each other's man, then I guess they are okay with playing like this also, more power to them. I still wouldn't grab my woman's crotch on national TV when I know the likelihood that cameras are on me. That would be disrespecting her. I guess all of you that think this is nothing serious or not work place harassment, would also have NO PROBLEM with this if Dwight had done this to a female Rockets' employee. smdh No double standards right? Still again, my biggest problem with this is that it shows his lack of focus during a game from a mental aspect. This is not the sign of a Championship leader's mentality. As I said before, I'm glad that we have HarDen as our superstar!
I agree, I would've pushed off Dwight atleast or reacted at it somehow. Canaan basically ignored it as a common thing.
Hahaha! Why is this such a big deal...He punched him in the Cannon Balls, it's no different then a nut tap in that perspective...I mean it's not unusual in the sports world...Ariza smacked him upside the head before Dwight went in for the kill, poor Cannan
Hahahahaha oh my Godd. That was hilarious. And to the people freaked out and calling Dwight gay and etc, this kind of stuff happens in sports all the time. I played baseball, basketball and football until I graduated High School and it is not uncommon for this type of behavior. Getting caught doing it on National TV is embarrassing though! But I guarantee you every team has a few guys that do this type of stuff in the locker rooms. It is all in fun, nothing gay.
It's obvious that some of you don't know, but just to make it clear, the video that is on the OP is NOT the original video of this thread. It has been changed to put a more positive light on the situation. The original video was a 3 minute slow motion version of the event from world start hip hop without the Dwight interview, but with commentary about it from a couple, that obviously some found to be offensive and therefore changed the video. Therefore i won't repost the original link of that video. Just to make it clear though, it wasn't a "nut sack punch". It was a full dick and nutts grab and twist, in which it also appears from slow motion that Canaan clearly knew was coming.
"nut taps", "finger in the bunghole", "crotch grabbing" - anyone who is comfortable with any of that is at least partially (probably mostly) gay. Enjoy yourself.
Don't forget Parsons trying to put his hand under Lin's seat. You folks think that's bad try being in a kitchen...
I played HS sports. Not once did I have my junk grabbed or my body messed with in any manner. Anyone who would have tried to haze me or my team mates would have found out quickly from all of us that we didn't play. That kinda of stuff is strange and all of you that have experienced it and are ok with it have some serious issues. I can see why Kobe didn't get along with Dwight now though. Kobe was keeping it real.
