What is with players recently?! Are they watching UFC and saying to themselves “I wanna do that”? Past two weeks. 3 suspensions.
Ilyasova – 1 game for punching a Nets player in the gut.
OJ Mayo – Jabbing Greg Steimsma in the throat. 1 game suspension.
Now we have PJ Tucker of the Phoenix Suns. You’ve seen it all over social media. Him and Blake on the floor. Suddenly PJ is feeling froggy and clocks Griffin with an elbow!
What is this? Are people taking Marcin Gortat’s comments seriously? Let me catch you up. In a recent interview Gortat was jokingly saying “when players get in a tussle, give players 10-15 seconds to duke it out, then split them up”…
This is obviously mental and will not happen. Anyways, with that elbow, Tucker will lose roughly $8,000 of his $884,000 salary.
Guys, stick to basketball. When WWE say “Do Not Try This At Home” I think they also meant don’t try it on the court.
