A player got a Flagrant 2 called on him and was ejected from a game last night.
I'm surprised Bill Laimbeer isn't in every one of these. #justsaying

I am not saying that was good. It had to be stopped.
But when some players complain about how physical the game is today, I have to wonder what they would have said if they had ever played against Moses Malone. He did not commit flagrant fouls but, if he was going for the rebound, you better had been ready for one or two broken ribs.
Or be Rodman.

And it was 82 games of that.
I never saw Jordan backing down from anybody, even Laimbeer.

BTW. I saw the game last night. Compared to what happened in that game, the fouls displayed above are like Flagrant 4 or 5.

I miss it too.

There have been some of the softest technicals called in the history of fouls called this year. Draymond getting a tech for yelling at his own teammate that knocked him out of the game. Kelly Oubre for blowing a damn kiss. It's insane, they've got to dial it back. They rescinded Draymond's, but it's not like they did it quick enough to get him back in the game, so still not okay.

The team I think of that would scare today's players is definitely the Bad Boys of Detroit. But the player that comes to mind first that I think none of them would want any part of is Charles Oakley.

I had forgotten the man. Playing basket-brawl.

I grew up a Knick fan. I loved how hard nosed they were. I had an Oak t-shirt as well as an Anthony Mason "mase in yo face" shirt. Went to a charity dinner and Mason sat at my table. The man was so broad it was scary. RIP

PS - team Oak over Dolan all day every day.

None of today's players would last a quarter against the Bad Boys of Detroit. They'd all run off the court crying for their mothers.

Even Lebron although I think if he'd had a chance t work with Laimbeer...

Good news indeed. Having that grifter as an owner of a team did not look good for the league.

Too much, too soon for Blake. They got him out of the clutches of the Trashians but he hasn't been the same player since. I'm not sure what he will bring to another team.

He can help several teams. The issue will be salary; he is no longer a premium player.

Thanks for clarifying what I meant. :)
