Lakers and Jazz welcome a new classless partner

[WayOutWest]

I remember all the flak the Lakers organization recieved for airing the Malone to Nash elbow a few months back. I guess the Lakers and Jazz can now welcome a new member to the club:

The NBA is reviewing a pre-game skit by the Dallas Mavericks to determine if it was demeaning to the Sacramento Kings.

Among the vignettes was a cartoon depicting Kings guard Doug Christie being led on a leash tugged by his wife, and one of forward Chris Webber being showered with money at the University of Michigan.

The skits were used Saturday before Game 3 of the best-of-seven series.

"I got a report late in the day today. All I can tell you right now is we're going to be looking into it," said NBA deputy commissioner Russ Granik, who was attending the Miami Heat-New Orleans Hornets game Tuesday night.

"It sounded to me like some of that may have crossed the line, but I don't want to prejudge it until I get a full report in the next day or so."

Granik said there are rules about not demeaning members of the other team.

"There are fairly stiff fines for violating those rules," he said.

Um, I don't really see how the president has anything to do with that cartoon skit I saw on Saturday night.

As opposed to the Bill Clinton era maybe?

Y'all have gone and turned this into a political thread. Shame on all of you.

Mods should lock this thread or move it to the political lounge.


WaaaaH.

As funny as the cartoon was, it would be way too homerish for me to not agree with his point.

It was classless.
I hope the NBA fines Cuban for this incident.

I'm not defending the cartoon, but in my mind there is a difference between glorifying the Malone elbow and the cartoon shown before Game 3, and the Malone bit was worse.
