    In my typical further deep research, I discovered why Chris Paul is so combative!!!!!

    His wife Jada (whose occupation is listed as "Philanthropist" ever since she married him) went to MT. TABOR High School in North Carolina!!!

    This is why Denny pays me real dough. I want a glazed one today.

    Not really @dviss1. I don't have him on ignore, but I totally get it. He blasted me from the first moment he acknowledged my presence here and never let up.

    Let me ask you. If I had never met you, but just walked up to you and was like, "Who is this rook, he isnt allowed to do this, this place is going to shit. Dont make threads until you have 1000 posts son."

    Would you just assume i'm joking, being a stranger or would you be like, "wtf did I do wrong? I don't even know who you are?" and that gets the response of.. "lighten up Francis, i'm kind of a big deal around here. If you don't like it, ignore it." And then proceed to be rude and try to degrade you without once saying "hey man i'm just joking. don't take me serious?"

    I have showed him respect many times and never got it back once in return. Yeah, he is a top notch ****** poster in my opinion because he takes ZERO ownership for rubbing others the wrong way.

    I remember one fool trying that with my friend, an offensive lineman, while playing football at the park. That was a mistake spitting on a 6'6" 320 lb guy built like a rock. The beatdown was on after that!

    Your research is incomplete. No mention of other wives/girlfriends leaving the immediate vicinity of their seating area. How are we supposed to know if any other significant others are facing mandatory 1-game suspensions. We have come to expect better from you.

    This encyclopedia that I found covers thousands and thousands of players~! Did you know that Doc Rivers is the common-law father-in-law of our very own Seth Curry? So Austin Rivers is Seth's common-law brother-in-law. Say that 5 times in 5 seconds.

    None of the “Superstars” go at each other anymore, too worried about Superteams. Kinda why id like to have JimmyB, he seems to not give a shit.

    I think social media has alto to do with that. Back in the day, you didn't know shit about other teams players, other than those you befriended at camps or new from a previous team or possibly grew up with or went to college with. Now with twitter and all that, they can connect at any time with anyone they want who they find interesting in the league and get to know them . I think it has brought the players together more as a whole. I also think its why their union has catapulted in strength over the last decade. There is now way players in the 80's would be able to hold teams hostage like the do now.

    But there will always be your JButlers, DGreens that don't give a shit and will get in the face of anyone who defies them.

    Suspensions are in. Ingram - 4 games, Rondo - 3, CP3 - 2.

    Not a Meteor strike option but I still approve.

    MMM, think Rhonda should have been given 5-7. He initiated with spitting, then landed the first real punch as well after Paul put his finger in his face.

    If that was other teams / players, their all getting 5+ games, but they don't want to punish Lebron/LA or Chris Paul (since he's the player union president).

    I think Paul’s should count as an eye gouge.

    Paul should have gotten three games. The league is soft and scared.
