NBA's Backward Culture: -Woj (Yahoo)

For Brandon Knight, who had the guts to stand in there, there were prominent people writing that he had been raped and assaulted and killed on Sunday night in Los Angeles. Eight inches shorter and 80 pounds lighter, Knight understood the right thing is seldom ever the most popular. Brandon Knight didn't run and hide, didn't spare himself the humiliation.
The culture of this sport has never been so backward, never so twisted. Hell of a dunk out of DeAndre Jordan, but maybe the wrong player gets the ovation.
This article sums up why I don't find dunks like this impressive in a basketball sense. Sure, that was hell of a dunk, but I would feel the same way about it if Knight wasn't even there to contest. Average.

I don't think even if he wanted to stop it he could have; so I wouldn't go that far. He was put in a bad position and he's hopelessly outsized on a play like that. Do you think isiah would have been able to do anything if caught off guard like that? I don't. I just think Jordan would have had to pay for it down the line.
