http://twitter.com/pdpatt/status/52178774472654848 Seems too happy about it. Charles Oakley or Kenyon Martin would have never said this ****. Patterson needs to be sent to a North Korean prison camp to be toughened up.
Dwight Howard seems pretty happy whenever he talks about Kobe dunking on him during Dwight's rookie season. Let it go. He's a rookie.
I'll take the guy who doesn't quit after he's beat that close to the basket, by a posterizer like Lebron, accepting he may get dunked on over the guy who can't get away fast enough after he's beat (majority of league)
I like a guy who realizes he will get dunked sooner or later and doesn't care if it happens and makes a joke about it, then a guy who tries to hard to not get dunked on and makes all kinds of mistakes or runs away when they see they will get posterized.
I remember when he was asked to defend Carmelo Anthony earlier in the year. Anthony made him look kind of silly in the first half. But after a few possessions Patterson got the hang of it and he was impressive defending against him later on. Let me just say that I'd be much more comfortable with Patterson guarding LeBron James over the course of a game than Chase Budinger.

Jeez, you guys are insecure. What's he supposed to do? Be like Mrs. LeWade and deny it ever happened, tell Nike to consficate the tape? He is obviously secure enough on himself to recognize he got posterized. If you go for the block you are bound to be posterized. I would rather he would go for block anyways.
