NBA Coddles A Star

It was just a few months ago that Orlando Magic's choke artist coach Stan Van Gundy cried after Shaq flopped for the first time in his career. I would love to hear his explanation for his star players Dwight Howard's blatant cheap shot on Samuel Dalembert.

During Tuesday night's game Dwight Howard elbowed Dalembert in the head. According to the NBA rulebook this calls for an automatic ejection. What the rulebook doesn't say is if your name is Dwight Howard the rules don't apply to you. Howard received a technical foul. Pretty much a slap on the wrist.

What I wanna know is this. What happens when Dwight Howard, Lebron James, or Kobe Bryant get hit in the head. I'll tell you what happens. The player who did it gets ejected so the NBA or National Bullsh*t Association can protect it's stars.

I have been watching the playoffs but with this and the fact that everyone knows the Lakers will play the Cavs in the finals have ended the playoffs early for me. I'll stick to watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Maybe someday David Stern will prove he isn't the worst commissioner in pro sports.
