Semi-OT: D-Stevenson

I know that he has always done his little hand waving in front of his face to a certain degree. What I was wondering is....

Has he always been this cocky over nothing & did I just miss it when he was here? Or were we able to downplay it a little bit more and it really came out now that he is with a showy player who talks a lot, like Arenas?

no...that's a new dimension to his persona...as far as i know...must be his locker room time on the Wiz and his increased importance for a team...

Agent 0 has been rubbing off on him...

The only thing I can remember him doing that was "showy" was when he would dunk it over someone or do it in tight situation and he would hold out his jersey in front of his chest. Think Steve Francis in his regular season debut when he had the game winning basket.

Things looked bright at that moment...didn't last very long though. Glad to be where we are now.

That was probably one of the last great highlights of his career.

stevenson needs to get his head together.

i'm watching the wiz-cavs game right now and i just want to slap that brohawk off the top of his head.

Something entirely different but DS should be suspended for trying to hit Lebron. Just a minute ago he took a shot at Lebron, and I definately don't like Lebron but this was a bad one..

Deshaqn spent a little too much with Arenas.

DS should be out for the series with that foul...

Maybe its just me but i thought LBJ only got hit hit in the head because he ended up double pumping the ball and made Stevenson miss the ball....Seemed more like he was swinging so hard to try and send the ball into the stands, not because he was trying to send James head into the stands...

I didn't think it was flagrant.

He swung for the ball I thought...

If it wasn't LeBron would it have been a F1?

What's worse: DS' hawk/beard or Gooden's shaolin patch?

4real...Dude barely got grazed..all he did was clip his headband. DeShawn always swings that hard on his blocks when a guy is coming baseline...almost all of his blocks came the same way while in Orlando.

IMO Deshawn was 100% going for the head. Look at his arm, hes not extending it.. he went for the hit..

DS swung so hard man...he almost closed his hand...and then he did "whas up son what what" afterward...

Could be that he was going for the ball, but LBJs big head got in the way?

Many people on the General board are saying that it wasn't a flagrant.

:laugh:

given the history and the foul with the follow up actions...he's out...

To the contrary bro...they bumped chests almost because of how close they were, why would your arm be totally extended? To me extending the arm at that little spacing between the two is something you do if you trying to closeline his ass.
