Is this the face of the NBA?

What "thug things" are we talking about?

His evidence was a few bad hair choices and some tattoos.

I hired a kid once with a lot of tattoos and those IMO hideous stretched out ears things. The kid was an honest, hard worker. Always on time and always wiling to stay late if I needed him. He had a 'normal' looking wife and a beautiful young child. Appeared to be a great father.
I was sad as hell when he left.

Being suspended for two seasons for substance abuse? Punching someone at a pick up game? I'm not talking about hardcore thug things like drive bys and all that but Beasley is a useless bum who has no work ethic and can't even stop smoking for a job that pays millions.

I am more disgusted with Ron "Prison Bound" Artest

as much as i'd like to argue to the contrary, it was a sad day for me when L.A. signed him up. knew he was gonna be bad news. but it isn't like I have any say on who gets on the roster...

What does Birdman look like to you?

He looks like the arrogant freak he is. His appearance says, "Hey, I'm unique, I'm special, I'm the hottest thing to ever roll down the street and I'm a mean mofo so don't mess with me!"


If he were 5'3" instead of 6'10" people would laugh in his face every time they saw the stuck up freak.

Suspended for 2 seasons? I must have missed those years.

He didnt punch the guy at the pick up game. He 'mushed' his face for second.


Call him an underachiever, call him stupid, you wont get any argument from me, but that was clearly not the intent of then thread.

When he had to try to compare Beasleys ink to swastikas, it pretty much said all that was needed to say.

That is what you get from his appearance? Or the way he acts? The interviews I have heard he seems pretty down to earth and his charisma on the court does not make me think he is conceited.

This is true though.

For his hit on Harden I would have suspended him for the rest of the season. He was extremely lucky Harden didn't suffer a neck injury or worse concussion.

That still doesn't make him a thug. It is also nothing but opinion.

Another thing you shouldn't do is pre judge people who are 5' 3".
Chances are there are some out there that could lay you out.

Everything about him tells me that. I think he is the kind of guy who likes to present himself as something special and unique by his appearance and his actions - because he probably is just a normal sort of person.

But he wants you to think he is one mean, tough dude even though he most likely isn't that way at all.

Most people who color their hair weird colors and the like are just semi-normal people who are just trying to attract attention to themselves for whatever reason.

I didn't call him a thug. I said he looked like a freak.

I'm not judging people who are 5'3" and I have no doubt there are some who could lay me out. I am just saying what I think would happen if he was 5'3". I was talking about what OTHER people would think of him if he were that short with his hair and tattoos.

The guy in the pics posted by the OP definitely looks like a thug and gives the NBA a bad name. He looks like he can't find the shower and his hair looks like he is a caveman or something. The guy looks pitiful, really.

I am seeing why so many posters don't like this guy. He reads what he thinks a post says or rather what he thinks a post intends and then replies to it as if it said what he thought it implied.

Trojanfan12 pretty much nailed it when it came to this guy. he's a complete and utter narcissist. defensive, and ALWAYS willing to say that it's everybody ELSE who's either wrong or got some kind of problem. imo most men who're well grounded don't have such a hard time looking at themselves in the mirror and saying "y'know, maybe it's me"...

That kind of man is getting more and more hard to find these days.

First of all, I never said I was 5'3". That was your example combined with CL's inability to comprehend what he reads.

I'm 5' 9" if it matters.

As far as the rest, we can just agree to disagree.
I simply refuse to prejudge people based on looks( unless it is gang related, swastikas, etc),.in other words, symbols of hate or violence.

I used Bundy as an earlier example of psychopaths that look 'normal'.
There are 1000s more like him.

Dude, do you know how to READ?

I didn't say that. Another poster said that. READ.

guess he's also embarrassed to be short...

tell the li'l fella to chill out. there's a place for dwarf people in the world, too...

The truth is that 99% of all NBA players have a tatoo or more on their bodies, and so does a lot of people now period. Tatoos aka your colors is no longer exclusive to thugs, gang bangers or other. As far as their hair is concerned, I have worked very closely with an organization(non-profit) that is 99% african americans and most of them like a wide variety of hair styles - it really is part of their culture. The women seem to like hats more then any of the caucasions that I grew up around as well

That's twice in the same thread I've caught you putting words in my posts that aren't there. Are you on drugs or are you drunk? WTF?
