Carmelo is a little thug wannabe.
As much as I hate Carmelo Anthony, that was not intentional, the guy was absolutely lost on D, and reached out his hand to "feel" where his man is. He wasn't even looking when he reached out.
It was a borderline ejection call as slamming somebody's throat is dangerous, whether intentional or not, but that is not a wannabe thug move by him.
It doesn't surprise me. Carmelo has shown he can be a punk in the past. I'm sure he'll get suspended. That's nothing new to him though. The Nuggets are in bad shape right now.
This guy needs his ankles broken.
Why does that matter? You're telling me that Steve Nash can throw a no-look pass across the court and be dead on perfect with it, but Carmelo Anthony doesn't have the coordination to know where a guy's neck is when he's a foot away from him?
Intentional or not-- overacting or not. Hand to throat = ejection.
Sasha must have grown his hair for the flopping effect like Manu used to have.
you guys are crazy.
Melo has his hands around his throat and pushes him. Sasha didnt even fall all the way down. Yes he might have acted a bit afterwards, but no doubt you go down like that when someone grabs your throat and pushes it.
No flop there...look at sashas legs..the momentum of him running, along with the push clearly will throw any player back. He was able to even hold himself up. A flop would be Sasha's legs in the air as if it were the Undertaker grabbing him and slamming him down.
Suspend him.
When Melo first had his hand around Sasha's neck area, Sasha was barely in motion. Why didn't he stop or step back then proceed to run the baseline? Sasha baited the call. As soon as Melo's hand was near Sasha's neck area, he lowered his body and forced his body forward. How can you not see that it was a flop?
I'm in Lakerland, and the beat reporter in today's paper, (Kevin Ding, the OC Register), simply said "Carmelo Anthony grabbed Vujacic by the neck and was ejected for a grade-two flagrant foul with 6:18 to play and the Lakers up, 105-87."
I found it interesting that he didn't go into any other detail, like whether he thought it was intentional or not.

First off, Sasha's on offense, he's going wherever he's supposed to be going on that play. Carmelo's hand on his neck shouldn't make Sasha completely abort his job and back off, due to the fact that one would more than likely assume that if a defender inadvertently puts his hand on your neck he's going to remove it ASAP & not be a pussy and grab your neck & shove you by it.
Second, HE GRABBED HIS NECK AND SHOVED HIM BY IT.
that video on youtube gives you such a limited view as to what what happened that it's impossible to see exactly what went down.
Right because anyone's first gut reaction upon being choked is to first flail their arms in the air instead of actually trying to remove the hand of the person trying to choke them, and then secondly, not stop or back off but drive their legs forward towards the person trying to choke them so that person can get a better grip on the choke.
Are you this stupid or do you like to argue this much?
It was a ing bait of a call and a flop.
EXPLAIN CARMELO'S RIGHT ARM MOVING FORWARD AS VUJACIC FELL BACK. If you can't do that then just shut the up, you have no argument, end of discussion. Throat grab & shove, it DOES NOT ING MATTER WHAT VUJACIC IS DOING. Throat grab & mother ing shove.
and if Vujacic is driving forward with Carmelo's hand on his throat, that just FURTHER PROVES that Melo shoved him by the throat. Unless he can bend the laws of physics and the human body by flopping backwards while simultaneously driving forwards and making Melo's right arm move along with him, then CARMELO SHOVED HIM BY THE THROAT. Not even Vlade could perform a flop that epic, Vujacic definitely can't. Throat grab and shove, end of discussion.
LMAO! Carmelo's arm is releasing you idiot. Explain Sasha driving his legs forward upon being "choked" and not even trying to remove Carmelo's hand. There was no ing shove. Go eye a midget or an NFL quarterback. You'll make better use of your time.
how the does an arm "release"?
his hand released, his arm is MOVING FORWARD. game over. just admit you saw it wrong and move on.
first off, unless you're too ing stupid to realize it, what Sasha did DOES NOT ING MATTER. it's what CARMELO DID.
you've all but admitted he had his hand on Sasha's throat. You then said his arm "released" and i'm guessing you meant hand because arms can't do much releasing without a hand. so now you've admitted he had his hand on sasha's throat and a grip on it because how else could he "release". that alone is bad enough. but that SAME ING ARM IS MOVING FORWARDS AS SASHA IS FALLING BACK. meaning he was APPLYING FORCE WITH THE ARM ATTACHED TO THE HAND THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED WAS AROUND SASHA'S THROAT. throat grab and shove. thanks for telling me what I already know.
Watch the video in real time, you imbecile. Not in the slow mo pussy you keep rewinding. The time Melo had his hands on Sasha lasted less than 2 second, probably closer to one second. Watch the first part of the video where they show it in real time and you can very clearly see there was no shove and Melo's hand was releasing as Sasha fell to the ground like he was hit by a sniper. Funny how your whole argument wants to center around a slow motion replay that makes it appear that Melo was moving his arm forward. Check the shot clock at the left in the slow mo replay. From 20 to 19 seconds and Melo's arm was mostly going up as he releases it. He doesn't extend his arm out forward as a shove would show.
So now answer mine, why the did Sasha keep driving his legs forward towards Melo if he's being choked? Why the do his arms flail out instead of trying to remove Melo's hand from choking him?
It was a ing act. I don't know enough about you to know if you ever played basketball, organized or pick-up, but you must be a ing pussy if you do play.
And it does matter what Sasha is doing because it helps shows how he is selling his ing flop.
Melo's hand was on his throat....who cares if he was acting....would it make it any worse if I got shot and just lurched and fell to the ground or if my hands went flailing....I still got shot. Come on Jamstone...
yeah that "slow mo pussy " that shows every detail of what really happened. instead just focus on everything happening more quickly so that I might miss the part where Carmelo grabs & shoves him, right?
how much continuous leg drive motion can Vujacic have if this all happened in about a second like you say? if anything, this proves that CARMELO is responsible, since how can Vujacic plan to get his throat on Carmelo's hand, drive forward pumping his legs like it's ing Chariots Of Fire, and find time to flop back while magically giving Carmelo's arm forward momentum all at once in ONE SECOND.
more logical answer: CARMELO GRABBED & SHOVED HIM.
JamStone, you're so dead wrong on this that Medvedenko and I are actually agreeing on something here....that above all other evidence should tell you that you're wrong.
Don't have a problem if all you're saying is that Carmelo ended up having his hand on Sasha's throat. My stance is that it was not intentional or deserving a technical or ejection. And, while Carmelo is a punk for plenty of things, this is not an incident that makes him or reinforces that he is one.
There is no shove. That's the thing. The slow mo makes it appear that Melo had his hand on Sasha for longer and you naively buy into the idea that he's also shoving him when in fact in real time you can tell he didn't. He was just releasing his arm. He never fully extended his arm, in real time or in the slow mo replay.
Two leg drives after being "choked." Quite a bit to sell a "choke." It proves Sasha was enhancing the contact to sell the flop. If someone chokes you are you going to keep walking towards that person and not try to take his hand off your throat? Sasha never tried to take Melo's hand off his throat.how much continuous leg drive motion can Vujacic have if this all happened in about a second like you say? if anything, this proves that CARMELO is responsible, since how can Vujacic plan to get his throat on Carmelo's hand, drive forward pumping his legs like it's ing Chariots Of Fire, and find time to flop back while magically giving Carmelo's arm forward momentum all at once.
LMAO! You need a new job. Giving midgets blow jobs affords you way too much time to argue on spurstalk.
How often do you put ur hands around someones throat when you play ball at the park?
