Baseball has pitchers beaning guys, football players certainly take care of issues, and we all know how hockey gets down. In today's NBA we never had our retaliation so to speak, so take the laughing as our payback. He's ok, he walked off the court, he'll be alright. Had he truly truly hurt himself, you would have seen a lot of dudes with "hope Bell is alright, tought break, get better," whatever, and of course a few kids would still throw some laughs, it's EVERY fan base. So be cool with the Lakers fans are garbage and so on. It's not really that big a deal.
The bottom line is intent? ORLY now? So, let's take say, Kevin Everett. His neck injury was a total fluke accident. Now, because there was no intent to injure him, that makes it cool to laugh? You have to be kidding me. It's not intent, it's the the end result, and the end result was that he was pretty seriously injured.
Obviously what happened to Raja isn't exactly of the same degree as that incident, but a concussion's a pretty severe injury nonetheless. But likewise, what happened to Kobe as a result of getting clotheslined by Raja doesn't exactly compare to what happened to Raja yesterday, so that's not exactly a good comparison either. I mean seriously, imagine this happened to Pau or Kobe, and Zo came in going off with a bunch ofand, as you know he would. You guys would be saying the same things I'm saying now. But since the tables are turned, it's okay to act like he would? Please.
But whatever, I'm done. If you guys think it's cool then so be it.
READ WHAT I SAID SMART GUY. REEEEEEEAAAAAAADDDDDD.
