I just wanted to put my two cents in about the Sparks / Pistons fiasco. I don't know if you watched the altercation on tape or in person between Detroit and LA... but Lisa Leslie actually took a swing at Rick Mahorn. She was off balance because of this overtly aggressive act and when he turned to 'stop' her from hitting him she was backing away because she 'thought' he was going to retaliate... he was trying to HELP her in spite of being attacked by her.

In fact... it's HIS voice you clearly hear on the tape saying "I got you. I got you."... then he gets attacked from behind. I'm sure you'll be calling for Delisha Milton's suspension as well eh? I know that our society is geared toward the equality stance EXCEPT when there is news to be made. When Lisa Leslie plays basketball she's a 'basketball player' but when something supposedly egregious happens she's suddenly a 36 yr old mother and not a basketball player... smh... so much for equality eh?

If this wasn't basketball, then there would be a police investigation, etc., and an innocent man could actually be charged. Yes, I said innocent. The replay shows Leslie entering the fracas to (as she admitted) come to the "rescue" of her teammate. Mahorn, who had already pulled a couple of other players out of the melee, tried to turn back Leslie. She slipped back while taking a swing at him. He even reached a hand out to pick her up until he was punched from behind by another Sparks player.

Lisa Leslie would have served her league better by failing to respond after the game, and reviewed the tape herself before adding gas to the fire. The problem is that she is more interested in the warmth of her own spotlight than she is in the health of her game.

Oh well... you'll believe what you wish to believe, however if you will review the tape you'll see that Lisa Leslie was actually taking a swing at Rick Mahorn and lost her balance as she was backing away from him. Rick did nothing wrong at all. If anything everyone should be calling for Leslie and Milton's suspensions because they BOTH tried to physically attack (and Milton succeeded) a coach in their league.

Hmmmm... what happened to Spreewell? But no... we're all going to pretend like the little bitty girls don't cause trouble and don't fight and blah blah blah while blaming the big man for doing something wrong when he CLEARLY didn't do anything wrong.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8Xl3Et9t4zU Look at the 20 second point in this view. Lisa Lesle CLEARLY takes a swing at Rick Mahorn and in tries to help her up in spite of it. And THIS is the guy you're bashing? THIS is the guy you're accusing? I guess you're going to have to suspend Michael Cooper too because he too was touching opposing players.
