The Pistons from the mid-90's called and want their thug label back

i wish basketball was still like this now..

[SHOGUN]

Lol at you senser:

The real thugs were the 2004 Pacers..

2:37 is the best. Right after Artest punches that dude twice and walks away Jermaine O'Neal comes running out of nowhere and just pops that guy falling to the ground.

O'Neal hit that dude with a Falcon Punch.

The rumour was that one of his teammates wives/gf's snitched to his wife about a mistress he had, and it apparently put a stress on the relationship between Pau and that player, also splitting the locker room.

Im not Terez Owens so I dont know how accurate that is, read it on Rotoworld the other day.

One of the teammates violated the bro code? That is fucked. Not even Phil's zen can repair that wound.

LOL at calling Lamar Odom a thug though. If smoking weed, eating gummy bears and hanging out with chubby, unattractive white chicks all day makes you a thug, then I guess I was one too circa college.

rumor is it was vanessa...kobe's wife.

That was the ulgy basketball that post Jordan people complained about. The casual fan got tired of watching 82-74 defensive struggle.

[Diivox]

Plus you guys forget Im probably 10-15 years older then you guys, so to me Thug has a different meaning to me.

it doesnt matter what your definition is, you are missing the point. Odom doesnt do this shit. Odom is a reality star. he's also a hell of a competitor that let the heat of the moment get to him. he was a champion on a team about to get swept down by 30.

what we're saying is not an argument of terminology, its an argument of tendency. one play does not make somebody anything, unless your 10-15 year older than us definition of thug means "guy i snapped judgment on cuz i caught a playoff game this one time"

Bullshit. Im glad he's a fucking reality star because he isnt much of an NBA star. Fucking guy was suppose to be the next coming of Christ and is nothing more then a 6th man and cant even start on that team.

Call him a Thug, a joke, a nigger, i dont care. It was a chicken shit move and there is no need for that anywhere. Heat of the moment my ass, play harder or give them a hard foul in game 2 not when your getting blown out and swept. Chicken shit move buy both guys.

Did Kobe do anything like that "no"

Dont give me heat of moment. So it would ok for anyone to cheap shot someone, "sory heat of the moment."

Lamar Odom is a pretty damn good player, could even be a star on another team, he has those skills. But because of the situation hes the sixth man, and I commend him for taking that role.

This whole thing is probably upsetting you more then it should sir, this shit is not all that uncommon in the NBA. Shit happens.

Ill sir you. Its not upsetting. I just remember him coming out of high school and college (after he got hammered with taking money from a booster) then he gets nailed with two possession charges while a Clipper and gets suspended.

Yeah I guess he did have good numbers 16 and 10 or whatever, but I just think he never amounted to the talent he should have been.

But this thread isnt even about his talent. Its about the Bush League Chickshit him and Bynum did.

Bynum apologized because thats what he needed to do.
Bynum said he expected to be suspended for the infraction. The team expects a decision to come down from the league office by the end of the week.

"I believe I will be suspended. I don't want to be suspended," Bynum said.

Bynum was suspended for two games in March for committing a similar foul on Minnesota's Michael Beasley. The NBA weighs a player's discipline history when doling out a subsequent suspension, so it is likely Bynum's hit on Barea will be for more than two game.

[manchild24]

Lol.. the point is you dont base a player off of one incident. When else has Odom or Bynum showed any "thug" qualities.. to call them thugs in an obvious situation of frustration that lead to a major brain cramp is unjustified.

I have NO PROBLEM with hard fouls, hell sometime guys get flagrants and it they really didnt mean to foul a player like that. Remember the one break away in the Sixers game Holiday went up and someone from the heat fouled him, but Holidaygot tripped with another Heat player so it looked like he was hammered alot more then he was.

You wanna hammer Barera go right ahead, but make it look like you were trying to block a shot, I mean just to throw an elbow right into the guys chest

start losing? throw elbows at chests.

[Bmore]

damn Bynum needs to catch an ass woopin.

[Kuzzy Powers]

So you were able to find 3 videos of hard fouls throughout Bynum's career. For a center this seems pretty normal to me. 3 "incidents" in a 6 year career.

[EmpireWF]

Not to compare them as players but I'm pretty sure Ewing had more than 3 plays like that in his rookie year alone.

yeah hard fouls are one think like I said, these are chicken shit fouls where they were losing and just hammered someone
