Thugs ???? Gimme a Break

[TeeMo]

All of this bullshit talk about the NBA thugs......

Ron Artest does the customary gangster throat slash on National Television.......he better get hammered by Stern. That guy is....and has proven to be....the biggest piece of shit in the NBA. Period.........

Thanks Ron, for being on the Rockets. :nono:

 

[Ace_Ace]

You are 100000% wrong.

Ron was just saying that he got hit in the throat...don't overblow the situation.

He didn't threaten anyone. He was simply showing that he got hit in the throat.

Watch TNT overtime show again.

kenny, charles & EJ all agree with Ron.

Even lakers post game show hosts said It was kobe's fault.

Ron is tough player & he has changed a lot.
I respect his game.

He's come a long way since the BasketBrawl, but he isn't a bitch either. I think he handled things the right way tonight.

I dont think anyone is going to give the benefit of the doubt to Artest, ever.

He made his bed a long time ago, and now he has to lie in it.

Who cares if hes toned down, or "not a bitch" Hes a great player, but he will never be amongst the elite for the sole reason that he cannot control his emotions. Piss Kobe or Lebron off and they will put up 50 points. Piss Artest off and he will manage to get himself ejected, suspended, benched.

I love it. :mj07:

anyone who didnt see that as a throat slash needs to have their head examined. He changed his tune as soon as we was ejected but if you think that wasnt a throat slash he gave as crawford was talking to him you are just as delusional as Ron himself.

Even though he used the throat slash, I think he was showing that he got hit in the throat. He should of been able to come up with a different gesture to show it but he is probably not smart enough. I don't think he intended to use the gesture in the way that most of these clowns do but what do I know. Artest is an idiot. Why would he give a throat slash sign when down by 10? :shrug:

Because hes a dumb fuck who will never know any better.

Some players will never get a ring, Artest is in that category.

 

[Leykis101]

LMAO...wow....that was not even a throat slash. :mj07:

Maybe if you watched it he was simply gesturing that punk ass Kobe was elbowing him near the throat. Stop with the nonsense throat slash comments. I wish it was game 7 and Artest would just deck that bitch ass Kobe and get it over with already.

Punk ass? lol

ever see how Artest, or just about anyone guards Kobe?

He is literally fouled on just about every play because they cant keep up with him. Artest got his. If he doesnt want to be elbowed maybe he shouldnt be all over Kobe's nuts like usual.

 

[harlytiger]

I love his Passion........:SIB I would share a fox hole with him anytime, But I did grow up with Barkleys and Ben wallices and the mentality down here is BRING IT.
Plus Koby is a Pus**y..:thefinger. But love the money he made me last night. Fisher is the only one that has heart on the team, in any sport there has to be an enforcer (this has been around as long as sports has) too bad Lakeshows is The smallest guy, and Dallas :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: who do they have? Jason terry?????

Face it if you cheer for a NBA team then you cheer for a thug or two.
Even Kobe has done thug like things in this series. He dropped an intentional elbow on Battier in game 1 while they were on the ground(that was a bitch thing to do).
Artest and Kobe are friends and I don't think that was a throat slash,but just the gesture of getting hit in the throat.
If I had to pick a side then I would pick Houston since I live here,but did anyone see Artest giving Kobe the business before the elbow. Nobody is mentioning that is what led to Kobes elbow.
BOTH JUST TYPICAL NBA THUGS. I gave having personal interest in the NBA years ago. I still watch because well it on, but have not been to a game in years.
One guy sexually assualts a chick and the other punches out a fan. Nice role models this league has.
And the Fisher move was about as bitch as it gets.

The Lakers are not a tough team, they are a team trying to act tough.

 

[romangrc]

He has a reputation as a thug and I think that is what they will look at. This is the NBA and we all know they do things differently. Congrats TEE on an awesome night.:00hour

 

[kegray1]

Oh and while Ron is still a thug,he has changed and I can 100% guarantee it is because of Ming.
Did you see when Ming went over to him in the middle of the heat and he told Ming its ok I am under control.
Artest has some serious respect for Ming at the very least.
There are very few guys who only do good in the NBA and that is a shame. Mutumbo is by far the best thing for the NBA off the court.

 

[kegray1]

Oh and I never saw Battier say a single thing to Kobe the entire 2 hours that Kobe was trash talking when Battier had plenty of bullets in his gun.
Like how about it is impressive what you did in game 2 considering you cost your team game 1.
31 shots nice game ball hog.

29 seconds into this video. If you tell me this is not a throat slash you need to be institutionalized.

you guys are looking for things

it wasnt a throat slash....and yes i watched the game and the replays about 50 times.....he was complaining about getting elbowed in the throat.

as for you alleged "throat slash" 29 seconds into the video.....watch again. he points at his throat (this is where you hit me)...then throws a mock elbow (and this is how you hit me).

artest may be a nut job but you guys are absolutely wrong on this one.

You could argue that either way. Given Artest's past then the lean is clearly a throat slash.
However that gesture he made is the EXACT way Kobe threw the elbow. He went over to tell Kobe he wasn't going to take that elbow and he never got to tell him so he showed him why he was pissed.

Like I said NBA is full of thugs. These two are prime examples.

 

[kegray1]

Crawford thought it was a throat slash which is why he got a 2nd technical.
The first was for confronting Kobe.

 

[M__J]

whatever he says that isnt audible probably had a lot to do with this too. If he said "You elbowed me like this" and did that i dont think He gets T'd up.

yeah, lets take crawford decision to justify our riduculous point.

wasnt he the same moron ref who ejected duncan for laughing on the bench last year?

crawford ejects people for his own personal gratification, nothing else.
