    He’s right. NBA punishes any form of aggressive emotion that is displayed. You can’t even mean mug a player after dunking on them. Adam Silver has catered to the youth and it’s diluted the product. The NBA peaked when it was a man’s game

    100% in favor of this. Expose some of these fake tough guys and highlight those who can squabble!

    Player A: “bro, we should totally say we want batmobiles for transport during a presser”
    Player B: “loooool thatd be hilarious 😂😂”
    Player A (sarcastically): “guys, wed like Batmobiles…”

    ESPN: makes an entire show debating how fast they would be & how much theyd cost

    All of you in the comments did not watch the entire video. Firstly, Mazzulla said this on a podcast. Secondly, he was actually talking about bringing the Power Play to the NBA, like there’s one in Baseball and Hockey, where if a team commits a foul, they are punished by having one possession be 5 vs 4.

    NBA’s Malice at the palice was like WWE’s Chris Benoit situation both companies cleaned up their image after that

    Can we please STOP having these white men throw shade at Kermit Washington!!!! Go watch the tape. Rudy T ran up on him in a fight and got dropped. But the way the story is told is as if Rudy T was some innocent that was sucker punched….Kermit was black listed for this but I don’t hear anyone talk about that. SAS is a clown. They defend fools like Kapernick but NOT the brothers who were actually done wrong like Kermit and Abdul Rauf (spelling)…..

    You want to change something? Change the 3 point arc or change the scoring.

    How come fighting in baseball is ok? Hockey ok? But Basketball and football , no. Sounds like the leagues just wants to control black men.
