If you believe I was angry, so be it. I’m going to go touch grass now, I suggest you do the same. Maybe do a breathing exercise, they always help me calm down.
NBA players never get in real fights. Since The Malice At The Palace and Steve Nash got fucked up by Bruce Bowen the league cracked down and they never happen anymore. 
NBA players are actually notorious for NOT getting in to fights. I'm not even really sure what you're talking about. When does Russ get in to fights? That guy is never in fights lol
Do you even watch basketball? >

Yeah, these days the worst it might end up is pushing and shoving, but you very seldom see guys throwing hands like that.  I mean, what Dray did is a notable exception. >

Upvote because I disagree and think this is actually an unpopular opinion >

Shit. I must be at the wrong place. >

There are fights in basketball??? A fight would make things at least a tiny bit interesting about a basketball game >

We found the one dork who doesn’t like a good sports brawl… >

We have a best comment winner! 🤣 >

Lmfao. One of the softest things I have ever read. If you want little league basketball go watch it. NBA fights aren't even real fights, one player gets in another's face, people break it up, the game continues. >

We have WWE for that. They should start a basketball league to satisfy entertainment needs for the likes of you. “WWE Wednesday Night Basketball Smackdown”
You got this champ. You hardass 😘 >

You understand all sports are nothing more than the modern day circuses right? >

Like the barnum & bailey acrobats and elefants circus?  or roman chariot racing circus?  former, no.  latter, yes >

I'm not in favor of fighting, but money or fame doesn't negate a person's ability to feel emotions, and negate millions of years of fighter instinct encoded into our behavior.  
If a fight results in serious harm to person, yeah there should be legal consequences according to the law.  But, otherwise a ban isnt warranted, its not rehabilitative.  Let people work on their behavior. >

You are correct. But remember 2004 Pacers v Pistons brawl. The entire stadium became a hellfest. Their actions are triggering people’s worst impulses but players should inspire peace and tolerance. People seriously got hurt there. Ron Artest and Ben Wallace got away from that with very light penalties. It was an embarrassment for sports and Ben Wallace is now a hall of fame member. >

Fuck this noise. The fans who engaged that night fucked around and found out. They deserved whatever they got. The legal consequences of that all landed on the fans, and rightfully so. The League did what they thought was good for business, and it appears they got it right. >

Lmao it’s a fight. Chill. No one is dying over this. Also seems weird to call out Westbrook. I mean he’s definitely a firy guy but he’s not an enforcer. He yams on people and shows his emotions >

Lol. If it’s gonna make you feel better I can change it to Chris Paul or Patrick Beverley. >

Don’t watch basketball but i feel the same way about football. Like sit the fuck down and humble yourself, you are being pampered at this time in your life and should cherish it, because it’s gonna end in a few years and you’ll have to figure out your life after that. Yet you’re here fucking your team and trying to lose a contract that you’ve worked towards for your entire life because you can’t walk away from the mindset you were raised with?
Grown ass meathead children >

Why just NBA players? >

I’m only a basketball fan, I don’t know what’s the situation in other leagues. I didn’t want to make a statement without knowing anything but if the situation is similar, we can generalize my statement, sure :) >

Why are you assuming my question is hostile? I was asking a clarifying question so I could go into a conversation with you about it. Oh well. >

I didn’t say nothing to you. >

I don’t think you understand how this works >

I don’t think you do to be honest. OP answered your question and gave a reason for his answer. He even said “-but if the situation is similar, we can generalize my statement, sure :)” 
High and mighty, for what? >

I misunderstood his response to be “but sure let’s generalize my statement” in a passive aggressive manner. When he responded “I didn’t say nothing to you” I responded that I didn’t think he understood how this (meaning a conversation, in which he did say something to me) works.
If that is high and mighty, okay. I think we have different understandings of what that means. If you can explain how it’s high and mighty I would be interested in seeing that. >

I’m sorry but you don’t seem to understand how a conversation works still. He answered your question. YOU became aggressive and didn’t further the conversation.
Of course I knew what you meant when you said about his understanding of a conversation. That’s exactly why I replied to you. High and mighty because you still believe you are “right”. He didn’t say nothing to you that was in any manor “aggressive”, and I pointed it out because for some reason you felt attacked.
