Oh and his kids were there too.
Security? Did you see how long it took them to get up there?
If I saw a loved one in danger I would do the same thing.
What would you say if it were Ben Wallace going to his wife's aid???
Oh and his kids were there too.
I'd say the same thing. Look, the rules state you can't enter the stands for any reason. Why are you guys equating this to real life?
Cuz one's family is a lot more important than a damn game.
So this isnt real life?
IF Davis stood there and screamed for security while some drunkard beat his wife to a pulp what would you say then? Dont be a jackass.
True, but that still doesn't mean he shouldn't get suspended...
I would have thought that everyone learned to never go into the stands.
He was concerned because according to LB his wife was "falling back"???? WTF is that? Fall where? 2 feet to the floor?
Instead of going into the stands, he could have told his coaches or security. He could have stayed on the court and spoken loudly so that people 10 rows up heard him and took care of his wife. He could have called a time-out. He had plenty of options. He chose wrong. I appreciate the fact that he was concerned about his family. But you don't go into the stands. Period.
He should get a suspension. Not a large one. But you do not go into the stands. He knows that. He decided that his wife was important enough to suffer a penalty. I appreciate that. He did it for the right reason. But he still knows there are repercussions.
AHHHHH. but she wasn't getting beat to a pulp.
Thank God we have the level heads at ESPN to make sense of this all for us.
i can ANOTHER of Stern's courtside rules coming up soon.......
And if another brawl came out of this because of what he thought was happening, you know he could be wrong, what would you say?
He'll get suspended, but im pretty sure it's not gonna be a big one.
You never know though...
Stu Jackson is an ass.
If there was a brawl this would be newsworthy. Then ESPN could collectively express their outrage and disgust at the incident while showing clips over and over for the next three months.
Instead we have a guy who went calmly into the stands with no incident, and we can still expect it to be dissected ad nauseum for the next two weeks.
Should Davis be suspended? Probably, because those are the rules. I'm sure he feels it's a worthwhile trade off. But frankly I don't want to see his suspension decided by Scott Van Pelt or Mike & Mike in the Morning.
I'd say you're a virgin & have no idea what real love is either. If you love someone there is NOWAY you can stand there if you think something is happening. ABSOLUTELY NOWAY!!
i can ANOTHER of Stern's courtside rules coming up soon.......
Come DS give us the new rules already
Look, I'm not saying the guy is an asshole or isn't justified in a normal setting/situation. The NBA isn't the bar or a party.
There is no reason to enter the stands under NBA rules. EVER. He should get suspended.
What's love got to do, got to do with it...
Family > Basketball
If I were in his position, I would have done the same thing. I dont blame him at all.
I think Detroit fans are a little sensitive about going into the stands.
You bet your ass there's a reason to go into the stands...and this is one of them. If you think your wife's in trouble... rules, basketball.
And there's reasons not to go into the stands, what happened in Big D. Unruely fans to players is for security to handle, not the players.
You gotta take these on a case by case basis.
Ahhh, well neither do I. He prolly overreacted in a good way(protecting his family) and will get suspended for it(NBA rules).
okay now lets put it this way.
if the something like that were happing to Mrs.Duncan or Mrs.Bowen and kids, what would Tim or Bruce do?
Wwtdd?
I'm sorry, but if that was my wife, I would have done the exact thing, and so would you. Davis will most likley get suspended for a week at most.
What if it was his brother or best friend got into a fight in the stands? What if it was just a women he knew really well as a friend?
I just think it's a slippery slope.
Anyone who insults Davis or thinks he should be punished is a complete ing idiot and lost any respect I might have had for them on this forum.
Imagine if that was your wife, and your kids. Lucky that fool didn't get the knocked out of him.
Brighten up, posters, or get the out of this forum.
