... Maybe Henry Abbott knows better than I do. Hell, he probably does. BP at Awful Announcing thinks that was a foul too at the end of the game that put the Lakers up 3-1 with a chance to win the series back at the Staples Center. But the first thing I discussed with the sports guys at work (and they’re Warriors fans — they hate the Lakers) at the end of that game was that foul, and we all came up with this: if Brent Barry hadn’t dribbled to try and get around Derek Fisher, who’d fallen for the pump-fake, he would have gotten ...

... and it’s debatable if he is the best all-time. There is no reason for him to be as big of a baby as he is during games when he dominates. Manu Ginobili might lose half his paycheck next season with the implementation of the flopping fines. As a basketball player myself, it pains me to watch an “elite” player who clearly is a one-hand-bandit and is virtually ineffective going right. Rant over. I also think Henry Abbott was off with his post: “That Was a Foul!” Espeically with this comment: And ...
