I wonder what will become of West once he's out of the league (which probably is sooner than later). He has no skill other than dribbling a ball and no intellect whatsoever.
shane battier, barack obama and him will start a new org that will focus on children coming from the new and rising bi-racial demographic in this country. and the sometimes uncomfortable situations that can arise from them. like for example what radio station to choose when your with different types of groups of friends.
Idk how the league can punish people defending themselves. If I were Hayward, I would've mopped Delonte's face on the court and if the league suspended me, I would sue the league. Self defense is a personal right. I can't imagine anything in their contracts that can possibly alienate it from them.
Kind of like everyone heard c00n in the Trayvon Martin thread, even though the Special Prosecutor has since stated that is not was said? This isn't going to get you anywhere... I personally don't care what players scream at each other on the court, and even if Delonte did say white boy it doesn't mean he is racist, players say the most insulting things possible, look at KG and his comments... Who cares.
Translation: It is okay for me, because I rationalize it. Reality: Nothing more than a huge catch all rationalization that allows for any and all behavior. Consider that your personal failing are your own doing, and not societies or because of anyone else. It really makes you look like a weak, petty person to cry wolf 24/7. Further you undermine legitimate complaint. Your reasoning is the same deployed by nazi's, southern seperatists after the civil war and any of a host of others. Is that really company you personally want to keep?
The best thing that could happen: Delonte West and Gordon Hayward start fighting, both benches empty, a massive brawl erupts in which Dirk Nowitzki and John Stockton are killed (yeah, I know ... but it's a fantasy). Both teams get suspended from the NBA for the rest of the season.
I'm surprised this board, traditionally so strong in its anti-Jazz sentiment, didn't initially transcribe Delonte's words as: "P*ssy jazz white boy" OR "i'll beat your jazz boy"
Delonte West is barely smart enough to stay alive day by day. If he wasn't athletically gifted he couldn't even flip burgers at McDonalds. And also, way to pick out the teams toughest guy to show your man-hood you ugly r****ded worthless piece of ****.
Wasn't he already homeless this season? He was sleeping in the Mavs locker room during home stays until Cuban found out...pretty sure I heard this on the radio.
I dont think anyone in the league would want to fight Delonte knowing that he could show up at your place carrying a guitar case.
The Jazz are my least favorite team, but I'm sorry, Hayward's teammates should have gotten into Delonte's face after that. Pathetic. Milsap and the coach just laughed it off. If West did that to Scola, we'd all be pissed if no one did anything about it.
