Westbrook's Foul on LeBron

[dougp]

Apparently ESPN's hard-on for the Heat is in full force - the little drop down menu for NBA has a link to this foul:

Seriously? This is a "hard" foul? They're even considering it a flagrant foul - what the ? Westbrook is trying to prevent James from scoring - he's not intentionally trying to cause harm or bodily injury. This is getting ridiculous - I seriously hope the dude retires cause he suffers a yeast infection in that overgrown pussy that he shrinks into during the 4th quarter.

/end rant.

Honestly..hard, no..but very dangerous. I hate Lebron's smug ass just as much as anyone, but Westbrook was pulling him down, and that's not safe. Could have been a bad injury had he come down wrong.

It was a flagrant foul

[Pelicans78]

Definitely a dirty foul by Westbrook.

[HarlemHeat37]

apparently you've never played basketball..

Pulling somebody down when they're in mid-dunk is one of the most dangerous actions in sports..

Westbrook had no chance of stopping him, at that point, it was a dirty play..

Lebron got up immediately, as usual, no idea why he would be called a pussy for that..he didn't Blake Griffin it..

I agree. That was definitely chicken by Westbrook.

Uh, you see people being grabbed mid-dunk/layup rather frequently on fast breaks. Obviously you've never watched a basketball game. If it was Duncan/Camby/Garnett pulling down on James going up for a dunk and LeBron slamming into the ground - I can see a flagrant, but Westbrook? Please.

I can't believe people don't realize what Bron was doing. It was almost comical.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pulling somebody down, from behind, during a dunk attempt, doesn't happen very often..it's extremely dangerous, regardless of the defender's size..Westbrook is like 6'4 and very muscular, you're acting like he's thispego or something..

He had no chance at stopping him, he should have just gave up the 2 points, instead of committing a dangerous play that cost his team more than 2 points, in the end..

[jag]

Lebron embellished his ass off to get the flagrant.

timmy betrayed the black race. his wife is white

[Goran Dragic]

Lebron definitely embellished it but that's an easy flagrant call by its current definition of going for the body of the player and not the ball.

[JamStone]

Definitely dangerous and definitely flagrant. It's not only that he was already in midair, but it was that the foul occurred blindly in his back. One thing if he's in midair and someone is contesting him at the rim facing him where LeBron can see him. Totally different if you're fouled midair from behind. Can seriously get hurt that way. In a pick-up game, there definitely would have been a fight.

But it was also comical the way LeBron acted and got up super quick with his "I'm tough" act.

The most dangerous part about the play was the way Lebron reacted to the contact. It would have been incredibly dangerous if Lebron were Rudy Fernandez and weren't a 265 pound manimal with incredible body control. I'll have to go watch it again, but I'm pretty sure he could have stayed upright with Westbrook's assistance.

Giuseppe is a trend setter.

He sets trends.

[Venti Quattro]

He went to check him after the foul. It's dangerous but not unclassy.

[cheguevara]

crying about a foul from a little guy that weights 70 pounds less than you

this pussy never ceases to surprise me

[cheguevara]

btw, did you guys see the highlight of Wade rubbing Lebron's shoulders and stretching them.

these gots finally came out of the closet?

[jag]

I feel like a used up hooker whenever I realize cheguevara and I are making similar arguments.

[cheguevara]

[Giuseppe]

This you'll talk about till the cows come home.

Oy vey.

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

Spursfans are pathetic I tell ya. They spew constant hate for LeBron and the Heat yet cheer them on when they play the Lakeshow.
