Not to harp on this but I keep thinking about it and it's halftime so...
How is "this guy got under my skin so I'm gonna make veiled gripes about him to the press" a more 'sensitive' reaction than "this guy got under my skin so I'm going to literally try to strangle him"? It just feels like the guys who got upset and started swinging were being waaaaaaay more sensitive than the guys who got upset and started taking vague verbal shots in interviews.
wait, who strangled who and when?
Dr J tried to choke Larry Bird because Bird was dominating him and kept telling him to retire. There's a pic of it if you scroll up a bit.
...I suppose Sprewell works too though.
Okay I thought there was an incident in today's team.
No people are contrasting "the good old days" with today's players who "are too sensitive", but the proof is somehow that the old school guys would just whale on each other when they got upset. I'm saying that seems like a much more sensitive reaction than what the modern players do.
Completely agree.
Also, I more think the people who are too sensitive are the fans, not the players.
