Meaner and meaner each time

Wish I would have seen this game to really know why the hell this fight broke out. Did Isiah Thomas call on Mardy Collins to put a flagrant foul on J.R. Smith ala John Chaney? Whatever the case, the NBA sure didn’t need this…but it is fun to watch. I still haven’t figured out though why fights in hockey are accepted and fights in basketball aren’t. I guess it’s because in hockey, it’s supposed to be a physical game and everybody is wearing helmets and pads so it’s not as personal. When you fight playing basketball–you are really fighting, straight up. Commissioner David Stern is probably pissed. They definitely didn’t need this. But…you gotta admit, it’s publicity. Bad publicity? Maybe. But let’s be honest. Why else would you want to watch the New York Knicks (AKA a glorified And 1 Streetball team) if they weren’t fighting? They aren’t a good basketball team. Also, I think this fight shows that Carmelo Anthony hasn’t really “already made it.”
