You Ain't Hard!!!

Endless Fist brings wisdom in this mature rumination on violence. But my question is, where are the reports demanding more player fights at sporting events?? I am pretty sure the Ron Artest deal saved the career of many a "realistic" (read: lazy, racist) columnist by offering the opportunity of a full 2 years of passing narrow, decontextualized judgement on players they won't try to understand. Plus, every Knicks fan I know will say their favorite Knick ever is the fuckin Oak.


Sorry, it just wasn't your year, buddy

Seriously. Solve the mixed martial arts-boxing debate. You can't even argue with this. Like the only way the 2006 Suns-Lakers series could have been better is if every game got interrupted by letting some of those hilarious brawls that were developing get out of hand. You remember: Kwame Brown vs Boris Diaw (accused rapist Kwame straddles Boris...??), Kobe vs Raja Bell ("I can feel my face!!"), Tim Thomas vs. an expiring contract... Anyway, it seems like a can't-miss. This blog does not forget its roots.



Just for fun, highlights of that sick Lakers Suns series here. (Sadly, not included is the Kobe "MVP" dunk on Nash)



P.S. choosy fans choose unexpected NBA fights. How could you NOT love this game?
