Hassan Whiteside: Enforcer

3:32. "Embid just hit Whiteside in the face with a closed fist right" right in front of us. Not even close to what happened. Just shows you how your perception of what happened can be way off.
 
Wow- there are no tough guys in the NBA… what I see is a bunch of flailing and guys flopping. Does that make him an enforcer?

It’s probably not a good sign that I’m already tired of any hype I hear about Whiteside.

I’m squarely in the camp that needs to see PLENTY of on-the-court evidence.

May be just the type of nasty on the court we need.

Speaking of nasty, remember once upon a time when a guy by the name of VINYLONE dubbed Mehmet Okur the nickname "Hot Nasty"?

Dudes a bum, he's fought no one. Crazy Bobby Portis would eat him for breakfast.

NBA players don’t fight anymore, just a lot of posturing. Malice in the Palace changed everything. It’s for the best.

No we need brawls. We don't get to cheer for life-destroying head injuries like another major American team sport, or for tough guys to try as hard as they can to get extra shots in on obviously unconscious opponents before the ref can stop the fight, so we need the occasional bout of fisticuffs to add an edge to what has become a whiney floppy phantom-foul fest.

Nah, just get rid of the flopping. And whining. I hate fights.

Being the physically imposing keyboard warrior that I am., playing sports as a junior i used to deal with a lot of flopping or dirty ****.. A lot of flopping in basketball and a heap of holding in football. Australian football is very different to american football, less referees for one, I used to turn to guys who'd hold me off the play and tell them to do it again. Most would and I'd rag doll them. All sorts of dirty **** went down I remember coming home from one game with stud marks on my chest and neck when i was like 12 after getting stomped on. We played those guys in the first game the next year and i gave 5 of them concussions (I was already 6'1 and 240 at this point). The next game they wouldn't come near me for a pension. I did **** like that a bunch of times, if not to protect myself but to protect my teammates (I hate bullies), sometimes you've gotta put a marker down. We play the game as it is, fair, or we don't, but we ain't eating **** off you *****. Ever. Always been my attitude to a bunch of things.
 


Bit of a push and shove, nothing much in, last time I was this disappointed in a scuffle was in Sydney and I went to a wet T-shirt contest on Oxford Street, not what I was expecting.
