Actually, isn't that the definition of a commentator's job? To comment?

Every player who has ever played the game has been criticized. Not many of them act like assholes about it. If Cousins can't take criticism, he'll remain the ignorant man-child he is and never hit his potential as a basketball player.

Yall actin like Sean Elliott is some defenseless child that was being bullied by this pro athlete. He is a former professional player who was speaking wreckless about another grown man and he got confronted about it. Good.

What's so reckless about these comments?

If that's your standard are grown men just not allowed to give commentary on other grown men? Should we expect a line of players waiting for the announcers after every game?

So if I go into the office tomorrow and pick a fight, its ok as long as I do it with someone who can defend themselves?



Honestly buddy, grow up. That's the part of this argument you aren't understanding. The part where you're a child who doesn't understand adult business.

He wasn't being reckless in his comments, he said that Cousins was dumb for trash-talking Duncan (which he was) and that Duncan then turned around and got the best of the match-up (which he did). Cousins' biggest impediment to his own success is his attitude, if more people gave him honest criticism and he actually listened to them, he'd probably be a franchise center. However, he's an idiot who acts like the biggest teenager at the playground, so he isn't.

No, of course not. I reallyyy doubt that those were the comments that led to this exchange, though. Cousins has been criticised much more heavily than this without incident. Something more had to have been said. Even if not though, and Cousins did blow things out of proportion, it's not like he did anything out of line. I'm just saying the suspension is stupid...almost as stupid as Z-Bo being tossed from last night's game.

R-Star - you keep bringing up some imaginary fight, but no violence took place here. At all. Whatsoever.

Should have been a total non-story

The NBA is an entertainment industry, driven by extensive media coverage. You can't have players attempting to intimidate media members for coverage they don't like, it's that simple. It's bad for business, and no one player gets to hurt the league because he got his feelings hurt, especially one who hasn't done anything for the league yet.

You'd say that if you were an idiot. Professionalism isn't optional.
