first of all, DAMN YOU B-BOB! i had that joke friggin lined up from the second i read that bolded stuff. missing cc.net reading during the day: reason #154327289 i shouldn't go to school. and i wonder how the incident really played out. obviously this writer has a bone to pick, but it sounds terrible, picking on a lesser teammate then laughing and running away. i suspect incidents similar to this (boys being boys) play out in practice alot, just it's probably more of a kidding thing and the other guy hits them back some other day, not the way this was where sheed and bonzi were just being complete asses. still though, 100 feet away and you nail the guy in the head just on a whim, that's some serious talent.
Good read, but I seriously doubt everything is true. Wallace can be a jerk, but you always see him backing up all of his teammatesduring games.(excluding Sabonis incident) I find it hard to believe that Rasheed nailed Ruben and left him "writhling" on the ground. It doesn't sound right....Blazers mgmt would have done something about it. Cod
They wouldn't have done something about it if they were preoccupied finalizing and huge trade deal, that meant they would be dealing with players, agents, other teams, coaches, press, fans etc. They were more than likely preparing for the storm. If it went down like this the incident is even slightly worse than the Danny Ainge incident since it was his own teammate, and not in the heat of competition. But Danny Ainge still has a longer track record of things like that so he might be worse. Anyway if Wallace did that, I have to agree with SamFisher. Wallace is my most hated NBA player.
This is stupid, because Kenyon Martin apologized to Mourning and admitted what he did is wrong (Something, apparently people won't accept except for Mourning), and he didn't laugh about it, he was man enough to admit he was wrong, something I respect because a lot of athletes wouldn't do that.
man, that is low, even more so if you actually know what kind of guy reuben boumtje-boumtje is. If reuben wanted to, he could have gone to med school or done graduate studies in math, the guy was that smart, possibly one of the smartest science scholars in the nba now, he choose the nba, i think, for the money for his family, he did not go there for his own interests. On top of that he is an extremely nice, classy person. What rasheed did was not just cruel, but an act of violence against good natured people.
Exactly. Some people are just too sensitive. Especially when in the heat of the game you drag your fingernails into a player's arm and leave a couple scars. They need to be more thick-skinned. Sincerely, Brian Grant
