When has Przybilla ever elbowed someone in the side of the head intentionally or crawled around on the court barking like a dog???
Specify this incident. Nobody cares, that's just petty dipshittery on the part of everyone who smears him.
You mentioned Malone, and there were at least two different incidents. One where he knocked David Robinson out cold, and one where he gave Briant Grant stitches. I'm just saying, getting booed for drawing fouls and getting booed for crawling around barking like a dog are two very different things JE.
How about KG talking shit to the Bulls from the bench in a suit? I used to like that guy, but he has turned into a real fuckwit.
Przybilla is the type of guy who'll be the designated "I hate that guy" player by opposing fans when Portland is relevant (they're becoming relevant this year, but until they start winning playoff rounds and becoming legit title contenders, they won't be truly relevant). And for the right reasons...looking like a mugger, playing hard-nosed defense and flopping like a savvy veteran. Not for trying to hurt other players (which isn't a passive-aggressive comment on any other player, I just wouldn't want a player on my team disliked for that reason). I'm very glad to have Przybilla on the team.
But its on the court during play, so...[/QUOTE] If I need to explain the difference between alleged flopping (or even so-called dirty-play) and barking at a rookie point-guard while down on all fours, then god help you. But here's at least one important difference: "flopping" and/or dirty play benefits the team you play for. Drawing fouls and playing tough provides the team you play on with an advantage. It both puts the opposing team in foul trouble and maximizes your offensive possessions. Barking on the ground isn't on-court play and it doesn’t benefit your team in any realistic fashion. You’re gonna say that it boost team moral and intimidates opposing teams. I promise you, JBay was NOT intimidated. Also, one could argue that although KG barked like a dog on the hardwood, thus he's "on the court." By that same rational, LBJ throwing baby powder into the air should be considered "on the court during play." It's not. It's self-aggrandizement. It's what you get when you have a superstar on your team. Hey, nobody's perfect... except of course Brandon Roy.
Its dipshittery on KG's part (dipshittery that I have no problem with), its butthurt dipshittery to the 10th power when the fans (you) won't stop bitching about it. OMG he tried to intimidate Bayless in a classless manner. No one really cares, I doubt Bayless even remembers it. Boo-hoo.
I don't really see what you're getting at or trying to accomplish JE. Other than just stretching the discussion away from where it was. Fuck KG. He's a classless dickhead pile of shit. Fuck him and his injury. wrong, right, etc. The discussion was centered around Joel doing things that help your team win which aggravates fans of opposing teams, but that his fans enjoy, because he is doing something right to get under the skin of opposing fans and players, and by that, meaning being effective on the court. Barking like a dog gets under people's skin because it makes him look like the giant asshole that he is. That isn't doing anything to help his team win. Maybe you won't bother to see the difference between this. I don't give a shit.
Like when Terrell Owens does something douchey. I used to love it when he was a 49er, but now I think he's a bitch... you mean like that?
Is that something douchey on the field helping his team win? If not, then no, that's not what I mean.
lol I count three different times where you contradicted yourself in this post alone (or just made very ironic statements). This is also the exact petty dipshittery I'm talking about that's so amusing to read.
I don't remember that one. I would just like to find video of Malone knocking out David Robinson. It was hilarious. Dude went down like a sack of potatoes.
Well, I'm just shocked that you didn't have a problem with what your asshole mancrush did. I was going for the 12th power....I guess I need to kick it up a notch.
