Are you getting rid of the blocking foul, too? Otherwise, every game would be like 228-225. It would just be a question of whether your team's big man could block a few of the layups and dunks before fouling out. On the other hand, if you get rid of the blocking foul, then the defense is going to plow into anyone who drives to the rim. |

Blocking foul stays!

So guys driving to the basket get to lower their shoulder and ram into the chest of the defender? Um ... |

| Celebrating. Too (bleep) much. Too many players hit a three in the first quarter, and do the stupid "three-fingers-up-circle-round-the-eye" or the even worse "blow-the-guns-out, wings-down-tongue-out" (bleep). |

Damn, I cannot stand that crap. It's so tacky and the ones who do it are usually 2nd or 3rd tier players who should be made to sthu and blend into the background (like JorDon made his lessers behave). Try to picture Jeff Hornacek doing that A-OK thing after 3s. That's the kinda guy who does it now, usually someone that has no business trying to act like a badass. Another one is that gaping mouth silent yell. It looks intense, but soft serve players like Boozer are the ones who usually do it, making it nothing more than fluff. Imagine some silly ass hack try to be an attn ho on a Jordan or Isiah Thomas team. Would never fly. They'd rightfully put them in their place (that means you, Swaggy). Either one of them would make that carefree twit cry, I know it. It'd be like Stacey King walking into the locker room carrying a cardboard box and Mike shouting, "I hope you got a jumpshot in there." Unfortunately that won't happen because we've outlawed bullying. Maybe we were too hasty.  Before you consider that it didn't work with Kwame, also remember that supporting him didn't either. He was a special case that couldn't be helped, but I think Nick would benefit from a few drops of tenacity. Ditch the facade and live on your own name if you CAN, Swaggy.

At minimum, just act like you've done it before. It's not just that it looks low rent, but it's some sh you'd expect to see the dopes in HS and maybe even college doing. Shouldn't these kids become adults when they hit the pro league? When and why did that become old fashioned? I see these old era guys who are depressingly dying off, showing how far ago that era was, and they have a traditional way of life. A NON-show wife, kids, dress in suits, act like professionals, don't act like morons, gamble/bang groupies, mow their own lawn like Larry B, buy a racecar like Larry Nance, show the pregame crew the elevator in your house like Sam Perkins, kill people with a shotgun like Jayson. You know.....just live to the creedos of the Dos Eqquis guy in general (like effin MEN in other words, like DaMuleRules was in his youth - a badass who actually deserved the reputation). Ron Harp DARING to drink a Bud Lite in his postgame interview after winning a title, positive images like that. Somehow the A-OK 3 pt gesture by itself encompassed the end of that era to me, haha. It should be punished with a 2 gm suspension. Individuals like Swaggy and the other dipsh-s in the Holdat! pic are depressing harbingers of change for the WORST. We're lucky to find players who know what it means to be a Laker, that's why I give Haley his props even though he was a lousy player. At least he was proud to wear the uniform and knew why. I can only see matters becoming worse as time goes on and they continue to outdo each other's hand gestures. Then again, we're in a time where hip hop and rap aren't even hard edged anymore. Go figure. That artform got bought and sold too.
