Eh, if I were a Mav fan I'd be encouraged. Dirk showing toughness.
That didn't look very intentional at all. Looks like he went up to knock the ball out of AK47, but his hands got caught around his shoulders/neck and they both went down.
Ever since the Spurs game, Dirk has been playing with aggression…He knocked down Lamar Odom several times…Lowering his shoulder & driving to the hoop…I really hope that he stops playing like a talented 7-footer & resorts back to shooting 3’s…
Dirk can't win...
He's considered a soft pussy...until he commits a hard foul and then he's a cheapshotting pussy...
AK fell backward and hit the back of his head on the floor - concussion time. And you don't think that is bad, and you think that he was acting? Hardly.
Whether it was bad or not, I am happy to see that most people here understand that it was not intentional. Also happy to see that most people understand that there really is nothing 'soft' about Dirk.
p.s Soccer doesn't have to do with it, not everyone watches or plays in Italy.
If he busted his head, then why was he bending over like his back was ed up, and limping like his knee was torn in half? How many ing injuries can you have from one like 1 foot fall?
He didn't hurt his head, he hurt his hip. X-rays were negative.
I just don't understand how you can immediately assess the fact that someone is faking. AK is a big guy, even by NBA standards, and falls like that can cause any number of injuries, including concussions and compression problems.
If you land on your head or back from ANY height, it can have serious ramifications. Even if you take into account that it was accidental and not worthy of suspending Dirk for, attempting to assess the severity of the injury with little medical knowledge and absolutely NO medical evidence on your side just makes you look like you're attempting to needlessly protect your player. Who are you to say, "Oh he was flopping!" Did you ever see the Bo Jackson injury that ended his career? It didn't look serious, either.
Chastising a player for flopping after he landed pretty hard on his back is just ridiculous.
He got up and drained two free throws immediately afterwards, I'm sure he was hurt beyond comprehension.
The guy literally cried about not getting enough playing time, let's not make Kirilenko out to be some tough guy.
btw I fully expect Dirk to be suspended, the anti-Mavs bias at the NBA front office will take care of this.
Yea, I saw it. Bo Jackson is my favorite sports star of all time.
However, there is a big difference... Bo actually had serious injuries come from it. His hip was ed up.
AK-47 according to reports are fine.
Oh, and don't forget... Bo Jackson got up and walked off on his own strength and seemed as if he would still play footbal, just after suffering a career ending injury.
AK-47 limped, grimaced, and acted like he just got blasted in the ass with a ing shotgun, when in fact, he was just fine.
He faked it.
For the record.

A of a lot more than 1 foot.
I think if I had landed that hard from an injury like that, it would scare the out of me. Not to mention hurt. A lot.
It may have hurt, but part of the reason he fell the way he did was because he flopped. I have no sympathy for people who hurt themselves when trying to flop. Not even Dirk.
Either way, even though it hurt, there have been a countless number of times when players fell hard, got hurt, left the game due to pain for a little while, but still came back and played their asses off. AK-47 didnt. He's a .
As fun as it is to make fun of D-Wade and the wheelchair, in reality, he takes falls much harder than this all the time. And gets up from damn near all of them.
When Devin Harris got blocked by J-Rich last year, his momentum sent him flying, from a higher elevation than Kirilenko, plus a 200 pound guy fell right on top of him. And everyone on here was mocking Harris for being a pussy. That fall was 10x worse than this one.
Kirilenko is being a pussy.
If Timmy is booted outta a game for laughing then Dirk definitely deserves a suspension.
He didnt deserve it. It was just a terrible call. Different situation, terrible comparisons. You fail.
So you're saying that the NBA should continue ruling with stupidity? That just because a ref was a prick & an asshole once, they should continue that trend with everybody else in the league?
well, thats what they do
AK is one tough MF... He threw Dirk on the floor just with his neck.
I think it was the right call... AK can't expect to be in the vicinity of the league MVP and not get booted from the game. I mean, Dirk could have gotten injured on that play.
1 ft. fall...2 ft. fall...turning your body too quickly the wrong way..
Any of them can put you in severe pain.
Never pulled a muscle in your back, I'm guessing. Where every time you take a breath a shooting pain goes through your body.
Oh, and it wasn't a 1 ft fall. His back was probably 6 or 7 feet off the ground when he started to go backward.
Don't mind the Mavs fans. They're just bitter that they got their asses handed to them and are just a short losing streak away from being the 9th seed.
