You got me entirely wrong. 1. I was referring to reputation on the court, not off the court. 2. I was referring to guarding to paint aggressively, not being a thug. 3. Note also that I am not talking about swinging elbow on everyone around all the time, but if someone tries to be aggressive and dunk on you, it is your right to be aggressive, to not back down, and to beat them back. That is only fair, don't you think?
