http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/58104/20090325/suns_amundson_calls_nene_dirty_player/# Nene is talented, but that headbutt thing was not only dirty, but stupid as well. Definitely hurt his own team by acting like a lone nut out there when they were trying to win a game.
Please post the actual source and not the regurgitated source... this is from the "In Denver Times". http://www.indenvertimes.com/2009/03/24/amundson-calls-nene-dirty-player/
I'm not trying to bust anybody ... Carl Herrera is fine. I'm just trying to pass this along since others do it as well.
I still can't believe the idiot did that. I'm curious to see if you guys think 2 games is fair. I honestly thought he'd get one (and deserved one). 2 seems a little harsh to me, but if Nene wouldn't have put himself in that position the NBA wouldn't have been able to do anything. And to clarify, I'm not a conspiracy theorist on this one. There are some Nugs fans saying this proves the NBA hates us. Those people are stupid.
Considering intent, that is what got Doughboy 2 games. If it's a non-basketball play, Stern gets severe. All teams have their segment of "stupid" fans who think nearly everything that happens against their team is conspiratorial. Rockets have more than their share.
Seem fair, 1 game for being dirty and another for sheer stupidity. In what universe is what he did suppose to help the team?
I don't think NeNe is a dirty player. Didn't Zach Randolph punch Amundson in the face a few weeks back? I think it's possible that Amundson instigates stuff like this. If he didn't, NeNe definitely deserves the suspension. But, if Amundson is the cause of incidents like this, I can't imagine what the next assault will be.
The nuggets have fake tough guys?!?!?!?!? The nuggets have nothing but fake ass wannabe. Carmelo "backpaddling" Anthony "headbutt" Nene Kenyon Martin. Okay so I can't think of a clever nick name, but could this guy try any harder to look tough? And whats up JR Smith. I don't know him personally, but the dude looks high and the fake toughness of the whole team is rubbing off on him too.
Careful. Cancer jokes aren't particularly funny to a lot of posters around here, me being one of them.
Is there a video of this online? ESPN only have footage of Nene throwing an elbow and Amundson flopping.

Refresh my memory if you don't mind. I don't remember an incidents between Kmart and Maggette or Tslack.
