Did anyone see Reggie Evans from the Denver Nuggets totally stick his hand up Clippers player Chris Kaman's ass the other day? I saw this on ESPN, which is funny because Dave didn't know about it when I told him.
Here's the AP take on it:
NEW YORK -- Denver forward Reggie Evans was fined $10,000 and assessed a flagrant foul penalty two by the NBA on Monday for his actions during the Nuggets' 100-86 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.Evans was cited for "unnecessary and excessive contact" with Clippers center Chris Kaman and had his penalty upgraded from the technical foul that was originally called.
Kaman was assessed a flagrant foul penalty one for his actions after the second-quarter incident, but that was downgraded to a technical foul by the league.
What would provoke someone to stick their hand up some other guys butt? Sure, during a pickup game on a playground court, maybe, but not during a playoff game when it's televised and ESPN can replay it over and over again in slow motion, showing your hand totally get stuck up another guys butt.
Eew.

There have been some really stupid flagrant fouls in the playoffs. Aren't they suppose to be men?

Posted by: on May 3, 2006 07:21 PMI thought that was too funny. I can't imagine what he was thinking at the time and I can't believe the other guy didn't jump clear in to the stands. It sure was a strange time to check someone's pkg. Guy must be a riot on a date!
Posted by: MT on May 4, 2006 09:58 PMIn the post-game interview, Kaman said, "He grabbed my nuts." Then, on TNT, Ernie Johnson said that Reggie Evans "got caught with his hand in the 'cookie jar'" You can only imagine where Charles took this. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. In the end, Barkley said he'd never eat a cookie again.
But seriously, how can Evans ONLY get a fine. If you ask me, that most certainly warranted a suspension. If he had done that to a woman, he'd be in jail.
