I agree! Really (no double standards here!) Bill never apologizes
so he can't expect someone else to. If you can't take the heat...

Yeah, there probably should have been three flagrant fouls called on Bill and
Dennis after the Big Shove.
Bill Cartwright probably thought he should lay off Laimbeer since he
fractured Lam's face with that elbow in the pre-season (it was Bill C. right?)

This is kind of getting away from my original point so I'll revisit it:
Don't laugh and giggle at Barkley's cheap shots & in the same breath damn a
Piston.

While were on the subject: I saw a TV interview with that guy, you know the fan
of that team (can't remember for the life of me) who sits behind the opposing
team's bench and heckles? Really obnoxious heckling, non-stop!

Well he said that lots of players have thrown things  at him among them,
I think he mentioned Barkley, and Isaiah Thomas, and...

Get ready for this! ... MICHAEL JORDAN!  I think he said he threw either a
basketball or a shoe (probably an Air Jordan!)

With all the wind MJ was blowing about a return to good clean basketball I
Thought he was above that sort of thing!

The team is the Washington Bullets.  I consider him an embarrasment to both
the team and the league.

This is not a very good example.  I've seen many of highlights of players
throwing things at him - almost always in a humorous capacity.  I think I saw
McHale throw a towel over his head and I've seen MJ sitting with his back to
the guy laughing.  He probably turned around and lobbed something at the guy -
thereby making the guy's day since he's clearly in it to get the players
attention.
