Doesn't make sense because guys doesn't get in as much alterations as they do in the NHL.

 

[trojanfan12]

Hell yes!! That would be awesome.

True. And I believe if this was implemented some players (mostly the Demarcus Cousins and Metta World Peace's) would go looking for trouble.

Please.....

Aren't these the dudes who wear masks for broken noses and sit out minutes for getting poked in the eye.

Without a doubt. If guys knew they wouldn't get suspended for 5+ games for fighting then these little alterations that lead to guys pushing each other and getting a double T would result in a fist fight

During the game?

During the game. Quick, 15-20 seconds, throw few punches, then referees jump in and break this thing up. I think the game ... these two guys, they resolved their problem. They’re both suspended and they’re leaving. But end of the day, they fix the problem between each other, fans are super excited, and I think that would be a pretty cool idea [chuckles].

You’d need bigger refs. You couldn’t have Dick Bavetta out there.

At some point when the referees jump in, then you’d have to stop. You’d have to stop. So I think that would be a great idea, just like the ice hockey fans waiting for that, that’s would NBA fans would get into, as well.

And, I think we’re definitely going to mention this in the players’ meeting, but we definitely have to mention the situation about the fans. When we say something to the fan, and when we curse him out, or when we definitely throw a punch, or we’re trying to hit the fan, we are suspended for half of the season. But when they yell at us or insult us or are cursing at us using bad words, they don’t get anything. So what I would say is that there’s definitely supposed to be a rule where if one of the fans is disrespecting us, then he got to leave the gym automatically.

Naw, we'd see too much of this from the league , and Derrick Rose would flat out retire.

They should allow it, at least to a certain degree. Like you shouldn't get suspended or fined for a shove, they are grown men, man up an play on. The NBA is the softest league in any sport in the world right now.

I wanna see lebron james vs david west

 

[Arizona_Sting]

I wanna see PJ Tucker vs Blake Griffin now. PJ is built like an MMA fighter.

 

[HammerDown]

Not many men living would want to fight Marcin Gortat.

I would if I looked like an ogre.

He's a puss

I just can't imagine anyone who really likes the NBA and enjoys it actually thinks that fighting is a good idea. If the guy wants to fight then let him man up and take on the heavy weight boxing champion.

Puker should be glad that Griffin restrained himself and held his composure - I think he could have done some damage

I would be scared if I was P.J.

Blake has 5 inches and 25 pounds and he is a monster. He also bitchslapped Bieber

The NHL should eliminate fighting as much as possible.

It's tolerance of fisticuffs should NOT be imitated by other leagues in any sport!
