Suspend Shaq

So Mark Madsen couldn't win a game of 1 on 1 with BJ Penn?

Mark Madsen all the way.

[IronMexican]

I'd take Madsen. then again, Madsen is better than Tim Duncan

JJ Barea sucks worse than Mark Madsen. Searching for the best example possible since the retirement of Shawn Bradley.

"our professionally trained fighters can fight better than basketball players!"

Can we give out a Salient Point Of The Millenium award?

You whiffed, mono...

The point is that the "fights" in the NBA that everybody gets so worked up over are a joke...

and BJ Penn is less than half Shaq's size...the general public thinks that big NBA players are badasses but they're not, in the grand scheme of badassness...that was the point...

now had I said that BJ could beatup JJ Barrea...or that a HW could beat up Shaq, that would've been pointless...

So again, your point is that a professionally trained fighter can beat up a profesionally trained basketball player. Again, great great point!

For your encore you can insist that the sky is blue. Don't worry, we agree!

People get worked up over fights because they're out of the ordinary and can directly affect the teams involved due to suspensions, etc.

Kinda like how everybody who enjoys MMA grapple-humping would get worked up if both fighters decided to quit with the gay sex halfway through the fight and play basketball in the octagon instead.
