I like how everyone is acting like Larry Bird diddnt get in numerous fights. With him it was that he was "tough". With Rondo he has "anger problems". Grow up you little girls these are grown men.

I wonder if this is a generational thing, where the younger "everyone plays a quarter, everyone gets a trophy, no choosing sides in gym" generation tents to looks at these incidents in a wimpy manner, and those who grew up in or before the Bird Era understand when grown men compete hard, there are going to be a few dust ups.

Jackie M. ripping Rondo for his immaturity and lack of control and ripping the team big time on WEEI right now.
The same woman who gets lady boners when talking about Bird's fighting antics.

  There's a mental image we could all do without.

Shes a rondo detractor....period.

As if her hero bird didn't engage in shoving matches

To quote Bill Belichick, "Do business as business is being done."

Shoving was ok in Birds day, its not anymore therefor the bird thing doesnt really hold too much water with me.


Agreed actually just she needs to get off her moral high horse..pleeeease. he made a mistake...shes a rondo detractor and rondo detractors couldn't be more pleased with this oppurtunity to jump all over him and call him immature

She is not a Rondo detractor. And, Rondo is immature.

So, basically,  Rajon is going to get suspended for defending his teammate and spilling 2-3 sodas in the first row?
When you lose, the easy part is to see who gives up. Giving up is very simple. You basically take your stuff and walk away. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially when you really don't have anything - KG

Has nothing to do with the incident itself. Rondo will get himself suspended for the third time in 10 months or so. That's not "making a mistake" -- it's more of a dangerous habit.

No, he is going to get suspended for initiating a scuffle that ended up three rows into the stands.

How many times did Bird get suspended for his "fighting antics"? Yeah, I thought so.

That's my point. It was accepted back then. It is not accepted now. Whether someone thinks that is wimpy or not, the game has changed and players need to adapt.

I'd be interested to hear his take - in today's NBA would Bird retaliate in situations knowing the difference in consequences.

It is just the sanitization of the game of basketball.  The Bird Era was immediately after the cocaine era and even Bird's first title win was on tape delay.  Now they are marketing the NBA as family entertainment, which widens their customer base and makes the NBA more successful, but also fosters the need to make the game cleaner for audiences such as children.  The NFL has taken similar steps.  It is the "drawback" of being successful.
