Don't mess with Eduardo Najera. One game suspension

I know that you are all discussing thuggery and dirty tactics, but does anyone else find it funny that Najera and Stockton are being compared so much in this thread? I mean, outside of the dirty play, their styles of play are like polar opposite.

 

Back when I was a Cleveland Cav fan - about 1989-90, and Mark Price was their point guard and apparently the only good one on the team - Detroit led the Cavs in their division and they were scheduled to meet in the 1st round of the playoffs. A few games before the season ended they met and Price was bringing the ball up the court and Mahorn or Rodman slowed down and placed an elbow in Price's forehead, giving him a concussion and effectively knocking him out as an effective opponent in the beginning of the playoff series.

Chuck Daly was the coach of the Pistons. I turned to my 9 yr old son and told him to never be a Chuck Daly.

Anyone remember who it was who gave Price the concussion?

 

I didn't, but I found a link:

Somewhat back on topic: We never truly had Nájera, since we picked him for Dallas.
