Media Double Standard: Dirk and KG

[jourdy]

That was my point, even before the Spurs shook their choker label, no one was clamoring that Duncan should have retorted when KG dribbled his head, or Ginobili, during the numerous times he gets a hard/flagrant foul. Those happened when they still had the choker label.

By your logic, shouldn't they manned up and defended themselves? Wasn't that your argument?

Double Standard?

BOston has biggest turnaround in NBA history but does KG get MVP like Nash got that one year?

Nash wasn't even top 2 most efficient player on his own team that year and he is a liability defensively while KG is a legit DPOTY candidate.

when has kg had a cast even REMOTELY like that Dallas team?? other than 04 when he went up against the pre-dysfunction great lakers team.

When has KG even REMOTELY had the same salary/salary cap number as Nowitzki? You want 20 million a year? OK, but then you gotta make due with less talent then a franchise player getting 12 million...

Yeah, I think it was pretty stupid how they grilled Dirk for this, sure you have to show toughness, but you can't risk being suspended either.

What about Peeler then? Why no criticism for that? Same thing.

I watched that game and it's not the same thing at all.

Peeler hit KG in the groin, refs didn't see a thing, KG fell, then got back up and elbowed Peeler in the head at the next possesion, Peeler hit him back. Ref saw that at last and called a foul. KG and Peeler got at each other faces then Peeler punched him and got ejected.

How somebody can call KG a pussy over that is just beyong me. He didn't back down after the first hit, retaliated on next possesion, but didn't get involved in a fight, that would've get him suspended.
