Is this frowned upon in the NBA? Mainly a player that will try antagonize star players and bait them into a double ejection. Every team in the NBA could use two of these guys and they can alternate suspensions.

    This is why they need to set an example with Draymond now imo. He’s gotten away with too much to be ignored, and it’s going to start encouraging other teams to get enforcers of their own, completely distracting from actually playing basketball

    Because they’re professional basketball teams who are there to compete. This isn’t hockey, you can’t just send a guy out there to swing on people, the suspensions would come quickly.

    a) Where are you gonna find enforcers? Everybody’s soft.

    b) Roster spots are too valuable

    It’s funny we just had this convo a few days ago and everyone brought up Dahntay Jones. If you saw him checking into the game you knew someone was going to get hurt.

    Becayse we used ti have that in the 70s and it was the worst shit ever, and ratings were absolute crap. How about we just don’t allow draymond style tactics at all.
