I think we all know...though we won't admit it, that Rickert wouldnt have been punched if he weren't white.

Well Stackhouse was wrong no question about it. For one, because Hornacek is a pacificist. Any man who hits someone who is against violence is a just a chump.
As for Shaq, that was in a ball game. Just like him fighting with Brad Miller or Charles Barkley. Yes, they just hate all the white players.
Tom that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in my life. I'm sure, the "lowly white guy" was the first thing that came into your mind, not anyone else.
Edit: I am done with this thread. I see nothing more I can add to discussion. He punched him, he shouldn't have, time for me to move on.
Does anyone know if KG apologized?

I know that they think its easy, because they know they probably won't see a retaliation. I find it shocking that so many people (nof offense) want to hide there heads on this.
i will continue to fight for all when this type of injustice occurs.

Even if he was acting like a punk, thats no excuse to hit somebody. He should sue KG for assault and battery, he's got deep pockets.

I agree 100% with Tom. And for OZZY, its not like this is KG's first altercation with a white person. There arent that many white guys in the NBA and he has now had fights with two of them. Add on top of that the lynching incident.
For how few white guys there are in the NBA, there sure are a hell of a lot of fights involving them versus a black guy.

 People really are grasping for straws to find reasons to hate KG. Now he's a racist because he got in 3 fights with white people. He has also gotten into a few fights with black people too, but I guess that doesn't count. The fact that he has fought white people at all means he's racist, period.
And I repeat, it wasn't a lynching incident by the real definition of the word. South Carolina law makes any fights where people are outnumbered as lynching. It was a fight where people jumped in, a couple happens at practically every high school in the world per week. It wasn't racially motivated. They didn't dress up in black panther uniforms and find a random white guy and tie him to the back of the truck and pull him around. It was a fight, which teenagers do from time to time.

Yeah, people can also just be jerks and not get along with people from a variety of backgrounds.

just as it's ridiculous to suggest racism towards blacks doesn't exist, i think it's highly unlikely that there isn't at least an undercurrent of race in some incidents in the nba. i definitely think that some black players will take more from another black player than they would from a white player. i think that white players are just looked at differently by some players. getting shown up by a white player, or a white player standing up for themselves will get them into something quicker, in some cases, than if that player was black. i think white players need to do more to earn respect in the league. i don't think these are dramatic statements. doesn't mean it's true in this case, for we don't know details.

That is because Charles has some street smarts. He has fought every so-called accusation, refusing to give those seeking his money anything but a court case with all of the witnesses giving their account. Charles has NEVER lost any money to thos gold diggers. That is completely different than KG fighting with a rookie teammate.

The Shaq incident was after the Lakers shootaround as the Jazz were getting on the court, not in a game.
