For those that missed [L.A. Clippers center Chris] Kaman's claim that [Seattle's Denver's Reggie] Evans grabbed his testicles and "pulled hard" during Saturday's NBA playoff game in Denver, Jay Smooth at Tuberaider has the, um, goods.

It would be interesting to see the same scenario, but reversed. Would the guys on the tv show still laugh about the "cookie jar" or would they act like it was a more serious offense?

It probably would have still be at least somewhat funny, but I bet that there would be been a feeling of "white attacking black."

Racial disparity is a two way street.

But did his heart and mind follow?

If Reggie Evans still played for the Sonics then this would be an even more sensational story, since the Sonics aren't in the playoffs--therefore I am imagining Evens bursting out of the stands to grab Kaman's coinpurse.

The Sonics traded him to the Nuggets after the new coaching sat his ass on the bench and didn't want to play him. Which was okay to me, a Sonics fan, since Evans is a dirty player.

Sorry, ben. Fixed.

Evans is mostly redundant with Fortson; you don't need two dirty, undersized rebounding specialists when there are only twelves spots on that roster.

Anyhow, at least everyone now knows how dirty he is.

LOL.

Kaman did show restraint in not stomping on Evans' head when he was on the ground.

Then again, he showed incredible fortitude to not double over in pain. Yikes.

Joe, you know how many times you grabbed my nuts while trying to play "D" in Beer-Sheva? Many, many times...

To the earlier comment re: race... while there are many unsaid, implications of race in seemingly neutral situations in life, I don't this one applies. I still think Barkley et al would yuck it up about the incident. Getting your testicles cheap-shotted trumps any other issues. Universal experiences, you know?

Dave:

THe fucked up part is, I had to pause and think if I had done that or not. I was very sexually frustrated that semester; what can I say.

Whatever happened to that Alex guy? He was the Israeli Dirk Nowitzki.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
