What is your take on the OJ Mayo pushing incident?

MistaFlava · Feb 5, 2007

Is this bogus by the ref or what?

OJ Mayo is a projected lottery pick in the next NBA Draft and this happened sometime last week!

Looks to me like he got fucked by the ref. He ref defintly did a World Cup flop there.

MistaFlava · Feb 5, 2007

Not sure if we already had a thread about this but this is complete horseshit. That ref is on crack!

oldirtyku · Feb 5, 2007

LoL... Did he trip? There is no way he feel that hard b/c he was barely touched...

Could be true but the kid is skilled and probably needs a bit of humble pie or some guidance. The point here is that he is getting jobbed big time.

The ref flopped like Vlade Divac, but Mayo was acting like a major punk after he dunked. Walkin around the court and staring players down.

The dive by the ref was hilarious though...bad acting

quantumleap · Feb 6, 2007

At first I thought it was bad acting too. But after I view the video it seems as though his feet may have gotten tangled up with OJ's feet. Certainly there was no significant body contact there.

Inadvertent bump.

AlwaysKeen · Feb 6, 2007

I think it was pretty classless...

AndySpainpick's · Feb 6, 2007

He deserved the T foul for not leaving the ball alone after the dunk. Read the rules, he can't go back carrying it, the ball game isn't finished, even though he may see no point in respecting his rivals.

The ref flopping?

ECS · Feb 6, 2007

bottom line is the kid is an asshole who at one time had his head on straight, you guys are putting to much focus on the ref and way to little on the unsportsmanlike behavior that is now the "norm" in sports.

indysports · Feb 6, 2007

ECS you are dead on the money.. No kid should even walk up and challange a ref... the taunting and lip smack is just getting old .. shut the hell up and play and go make your millions and be a degenerate!!!!!

oldirtyku · Feb 6, 2007

No. We are talking about the issue at hand not that fact that he is an asshole or great guy...

Either the ref tripped or he flopped and the fact that OJ had to get a court order to allow him to play again is crazy... He does seem like an arrogant ahole but thats USC coachs problem to deal with...

I agreed with you quantumleap, until I saw this:

Now, I still can't decide whether the ref completely flopped or not, but he wasn't tripped. Mayo definitely bodied him before he fell.

Olddirty-- I think everyone is missing the point -- sure the reffed flopped.. but what the hell is a 17 year old doing questioning an official and running his mouth to an adult... or to the police that had to pull him off the court... It shouldn't have taken a court order for him to play HIS PARENTS SHOULD HAVE SAT HIM DOWN.......we always blame someone else for our own faults!!!!!! GET SOME DAMN DISCIPLINE AND THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE!!!
