http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=4945104 After seeing the video of all the Mavs chewing straws, I can get behind this.
Can someone explain to me why their banning straw chewing? What the hell is their reason? If there is no explanation, then this is ridiculous.
to show them whos boss, just like when they wont let wade wear bandages, or players wear sleeves unless its for medical reasons
Caron Butler has been chewing straws for like 7 years. Caron Butler now plays for the Mavs The Mavs are a threat to destroy Sterns dream of another Laker finals.
Im addicted to chewing straws to. But, i guess i could jab somebody in the neck or something.. Only rockets players can chew them when playing jazz.
I'm fine with the sleeves, it made players look like high schoolers, and I can get behind not letting wade wear the bandages cause it made him look like a douche, haha :grin: . In all seriousness, yeah, it's kinda getting ridiculous on what players can and can't do these days.
LOL, its not okay to chew on straws during games, but the nba was fine with pig miller playing with a toothpick in his mouth
Forgive my ignorance - first of all, why does a grown up man chews straw or toothpick or thumb anyway? Can someone please explain it to me?
But straws are so much better than gum! They are cheaper and less sticky. When I'm done with them I put them in my pocket. They last a long time, too. Stern is being dumb about this.
at the end of the article it said he drank 6 12 ounce botles of mountain dew a day in 2009.now thats insain!!!!!
From: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...t=AlAhYkOdEL9_IvL9P4pp4K.8vLYF?urn=nba,224177 but then again ... this is also true:
PTI was discussing this and said Stern didn't want kids imitating the straw chewing. Cuban definately has a reason to get his panties in a bind on this one though. If he's been doing this for 7 years, its pretty shady they are all of a sudden banning it now
well, for the same reason you would tell your kid not to run with a straw in their mouth and then show them the straw through the potato example. why do they need a straw in their mouth during play?
