It's purely because the police needs to get on par with the media. If the media gets way ahead and some investigative journalist or TMZ reports something semi-credible, it's a real bad look if the police didn't even open a file yet...

It's debos way of picking a fight and getting ejected to fire up his team, for the rest of the season.

Everyone knows he's not mad at the late 3, he's mad the bulls suck balls.

Shaq will resort to "how much money you got?"

I think he doesn't do it when he can get a 4 or higher thrown back at him.

NBA is less about fun or the game, it's more about the business, despite the fact that their business centres around the game itself.

The NBA has become more like a business and less about basketball, in the sense that it only wants a 5v5 game as the NBA structures it. NBA will fine tune the on court product as it sees fit through the rule changes that led to open games and more dunks+3s and more scoring (less big men post play as evident from FIBA just past).

Some mentioned injuries or contractual obligations that bar players - that's just part of the business and contracts are based on CBA negotiations. Some mentioned that players didn't want to embarrass themselves especially the established players - probably true to an extent and they want to preserve their image of being worth their contract - part of the business. But I'd love to see someone like FVV go against Tobias Harris 1v1 to see who's overpaid, and I bet there are players who won't back down from a challenge.

What it boils down to is that the NBA as it's structured now is more about business. They want to expand the game internationally and they are doing the in season tournament, but the NBA game structure is defined in their 5v5 product. I don't see them tweaking it. And hopefully there are others that can compete with them because this monopoly business isn't great for basketball.

If this kinda sequence happens once every quarter, that's a ROY DPOY MVP.
