Is it fair? Discuss.

Yahoo Source: The NBA is suspending Utah's Trevor Booker one game for swinging at Roy Hibbert. https://yhoo.it/1RwOd5C

Sounds about right.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

More than fair, that is basically the best case scenario.

1 game is a blessing. Less maniac actions please Trevor.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

That's all? I thought it would be closer to 3 or 5.

Last sentence of the yahoo article is hilarious:

Booker, who played nearly 20 minutes a game in 79 appearances last season, is a tough, physical presence for the Jazz.

 

[Jamezz]

This would have not carried a suspension in the 90's

Regular season or pre season?

Regular season or pre season?

Regular. Should still be able to handle the pistons.

 

[RJF]

Called it.

Woj: "Booker spoke with the NBA on Wednesday about the incident, a source said. Hibbert stormed into Booker’s personal space after Booker fouled a Lakers teammate ... Booker, who played nearly 20 minutes a game in 79 appearances last season, is a tough, physical presence for the Jazz."

Sounds like Booker or his agent is Woj's source.

Yep.

NBA should in my mind suspend that fake tough guy for basically challenging Booker's manhood. There would've been no altercation had said fake laker tough guy doesn't walk ten feet to initiate contact in the first place.

I do feel the NBA should look at suspending the instigator who asks to be bitchslapped. It's one thing if Booker walks up to said player and hits him. It's another when an idiot player sticks his nose in someone else's fight and escalates it when the whole thing is over.

With that said the punishment for Booker is fair.

Booker was the one who was fouled though

 

[Stoked]

I was expecting 2 games. Lyles will get some time that night.

 

[VINYLONE]

Def fair. **** Hibbert and his vertigoing ***.

 

[JazzForLifee]

1 game is fine. will still beat the pistons

 

[Jazz and Utes]

Thought for sure it was 3 to 5, glad to be wrong.

 

[enchilada_style]

The NBA agrees Hibbert deserved it
