lol it is indeed something when a whiny bitch like Cabagnot is the voice of reason (2:20 & 2:45).

No wonder Zeke liked Balkman so much.

Balkman can't even meltdown right. He pushed the assistant coach, dissed the three refs, pushed a teammate, and then choked another one but he forgot to do give some lovin' to the head coach.

lol at the racist comments in youtube.

Wow, you guys have even known this thing.

I just think it's his 6-point performance was the cause of this total meltdown.

[NovU]

That's what killed his NBA career, immaturity. I thought he had above average talent but couldn't do anything positive with it.

Who's the guy that was grabbing Balkman's shirt? Why didn't Balkman go ape shit on him too?

[shadowgrin]

The black dude? A close friend perhaps or one of his entourage when he arrived here.

Just imagine if Balkman did any of that stuff to a Ginebra player, the crowd would probably mob him for some hurtin' or have his ride burn down in the parking lot.

[Stress Fracture]

I think that's his personal nutritionist. Quinito Henson noted that he invited him here.

Funny how he is kind of a "big man". Too bad he does not have any big man skills.

That's how import players work here. They automatically assume the center spot.

He is set to face the commissioner today. Let's wait for the decision on whether he can continue playing here.

Apparently Balkman was given a second chance by the league, with their team management having a sanction of its own for Balkman.

EDIT: Scrap the 'second chance' thing, he's banned for life from the league.

[NovU]

I support the decision. It's not a bad idea to set an example. His action was a total disgrace. A combination of disrepect, violence, stupidity, Kim Jong Un, and North Korea.

[Andrew]

The players involved in the Malice at the Palace got off easier than that.

It's an understandable decision though and bottom line, he brought it on himself. According to an online currency converter his fine of 250,000 pesos works out to be around $6100 US dollars; hopefully, he's been careful with his money.

at that vid.

SMH
The Supreme Leader IS North Korea.
Withouth him NoKor will just be the same as Canada, a wasteland.

I hope our President Barack Obama declares war on this third world nation attempting to besmirch the pride and supremacy of Americans.

It's time we finally impose a democracy on these backwards islands.

[Lean]

NO ONE SHOULD CHOKE THE PHINIPIILNIPPINES!

ACCKKKK---acckkk---ackkk....

[jenz]

Heh, I thought the sanction is a little too much. But yeah, the decision is still at the reasonable range, I think.

[shadowgrin]

It's not too much.
The max salary a local PBA player can have is PhP 420,000 per month. Imports reportedly earn more than that or no less than 75% of it.
The last time a local player went after a referee, he got banned from the league too. He was only reinstated after a presidential pardon.

and the offense of the team is now based on the import, which I hate.

Why ban him if he is only going to be here anyway for like 2 months and then forgotten like the rest of the imports of the PBA.

Norman Black, Bobby Parks, and Sean Chambers disagree.

If you want recent then Donnell Harvey.

[[Q]]

So Manny Pacquiao pardoned him?

I remember playing with Donnell Harvey in Live 2001. what a great rebounder. i would always pick him in my dynasty drafts

Add Denzel Bowles out there. And Paul Harris too.

[Bruce]

wow, why not throw Robert Swift a bone and let him play in Balkman's spot.

[stereoxide]

They are planning Samardo Samuels as replacement for Balkman. Just wow.
