Bush League

For those of us who are, shall we say, less than interested in athletics: he's trying to get himself traded. Phil Jackson, the Laker coach who's led Team Kobe to five championships in twelve years, has been going on and on about how he's retiring this year--or at least not coaching the Lakers anymore. The team's been falling apart for weeks now, and this game was the poop-icing on the shitcake. Dallas swept the Lakers in a four game series, losing this final game by 36. That's thirty-six points. It was a shitshow, and this wasn't even the only pouty, adolescent flagrant foul of the game. Bynum doesn't wanna stay in L.A., so he made it nigh impossible for the team to keep him. I don't know if the rez is good enough to see the expression on his face, but it's very "I don't give a severed rats penis."

Team Kobe was expecting to get handed another ring; they forgot about working for it. Fuck 'em all. Except Phil Jackson. Retire In Peace, Phil.

i'd purposefully not trade him, then bench him... wait for his contract to end...

thats not an athlete anyone should look up to

that'd be one of the rare times I think the salary amount spent would be justified... to make this sorry sack o feces just sit there

what the fu... oh wait, he said this is from the bush league... well than that is an acceptable play in that league

Didn't look that bad to me and the guy that got pushed seemed ok.

rugby basketball could be quite entertaining actually.

Upvote for Dallas scoring regardless.

Nothing like a bratty millionaire throwing a tantrum when things don't go their way.

@westy he got his elbow in mid-air and fell aaaaaaaaall the way to the floor. I guess he seemed ok, because he is an athlete. But that was a rather hard double check to the chest (elbow and ground)

The Lakers are a bunch of cry babies. This wasn't the only ejection that night. They threw a fit because they got bitched by what they deemed to be a lessor team on national television. To bad, so sad for the Lakers...

This was a lot worse than a rugby hit. Rugby has rules about how you hit a player for very good reasons.

I'd rather be placed as a linebacker in the NFL than have a guy cut my feet out from under me while going in for a dunk. I'm a light guy too, so I'd be crushed and smashed terribly every play as a linebacker against someone with more than 200lbs on me. I'd at least come out so badly bruised and hurting that I couldn't walk for over a week. I'll take that over coming down headfirst onto hardwood from several feet up.

Bynum's hit here is more than Bush League, his suspension should last the entire next season if not straight ejection from the league.

I'm a Canadian too, so I'm accustomed to bare fist fighting on ice as a terrific national pass time. There are rules to how you hurt each other in a sport though, specifically so that people get hurt instead of injured.
