    Huh? I think they are fully developed, just not in the American way.

    But that would be a political forum discussion.

    The worst part for the Chinese was that the foul to start it all wasn't even that bad. I'm not even sure if it would have been classified as a hard foul in the NBA. Just a regular foul.

    The kick by the chinese guy was classic.

    Blaze, control your people.

    Thanks for all the opinions!

    I'm glad if actions are taken by the China basketball authorities to make sure nothing like that will happen again. To me, basketball is an international "language" that can break down barriers between countries (c.f. "ping-pong diplomatics"), and violence should take no role in it no matter what cir stances are. A hard foul should be punished by free throw(s) and not punches.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Friendly Detroiter here, a little pissed at the characterization of my team and my city. Yes some of our fans suck, but how is there no mention of the Pacers' actions in instigating this event as well. Apparently history has shat on the city of Detroit yet again. , the only Detroit player involved was Ben - and to his credit he never threw a punch.

    Chinese Guy 1: People wanting democracy? that. Gas up the tanks.

    Chinese Guy 2: Why not just throw a beer cup at them?

    Chinese Guy 1: Are you crazy, man? Guards, take him away!

    I spent 2 weeks in Shanghai about 6 or 7 years ago on business. Very interesting place. When I went downtown on the weekend it was like I was a celebrity. Lots of kids would follow me and take pictures of me. Apparently they hadn't seen a lot of caucasian visitors.
