Zach Randolph sucker-punches Louis Amundson

[bigkingsfan]

Just got tossed, suspension brewing.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

Z-bo what the f*ck?



gif?

[kumquat]

LOL Z-bo is the master of the sucker punch... ask ruben patterson :oldlol:

[Mr_Basketball#1]

I thought he had changed. Amundson was down on the ground and he got up and started talking trash to Z-Bo and he just snuffed him. It was a weak ass punch though. Z-Bo is a b*tch.

[Da Ballahollic]

:no: His fist was not closed..

[kentatm]

lets get some video

[G.O.P]

LOL ... Never cared for Zach, care even less now that he threw a sucker punch, thats a big dip in the respect I have for a person as far as thats concerned.

[Sanity]

Amundson "you can forget the burgers after the game"

Randolph "You lying mother ****er!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[statman32]

I thought he had changed. Amundson was down on the ground and he got up and started talking trash to Z-Bo and he just snuffed him. It was a weak ass punch though. Z-Bo is a b*tch.
Thats not what happened. Amundson went down and Z-Bo stood over him talking trash. Admunson then got up and said some stuff to ZBo so Zbo threw a punch.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

I heard Randolph and Patterson got into it. I wish there waqs a video

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

What did Amundson do?

[JJ81]

lmao cant wait to see this on youtube tomorrow.

[bigkingsfan]

Here's a quick gif of the replay, I don't have video of the live sequence.

[pete's montreux]

Weakest punch ever.

[Zan Tabak]

LOL...2 games tops..

[Maniak]

Didnt his mom ever teach him not to punch a woman?!

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

lol he leaned amundson

[DuMa]

if i can recall amundson's face. i'd say that little slap helped conform his beauty lines

[Jasper]

That's an immediate suspension and fine.
He stood over the player and then launched a punch when the guy stood up.
Shows the state of his team :ohwell:

[Al Thornton]

:bowdown:

[FindingTim]

:bowdown:


yeah bro, bow down for unnecessary violence and getting yourself kicked out of a game for being an idiot. :bowdown:

[FIXED]

i was like waits for shaq to enter the frame in 5 4 3 2 1 ....

[Al Thornton]

yeah bro, bow down for unnecessary violence and getting yourself kicked out of a game for being an idiot. :bowdown:

:lol its not like we would win anyway no Camby still no Kaman I mean seriously :oldlol:

[JayGuevara]

Either every player in the league can take hits like they're nothin, or most "punches" you see in games are ****ing weak.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

That's a ***** move, he hits him as soon as he gets up? He's lucky it was Amundson.

[Sanity]

Either every player in the league can take hits like they're nothin, or most "punches" you see in games are ****ing weak.

I'll take most "punches" you see in games are ****ing weak for $500 Alex

[FindingTim]

it just doesn't seem too bright to mess with a team that has Shaq in the vicinity...

i hope the Celts play the Suns in the finals, KG gets all pissy on the Suns, starts throwing cheap shots, and then Shaq shuts him up once and for all (physically)

[JJ81]

Here's a quick gif of the replay, I don't have video of the live sequence.

http://i44.tinypic.com/91ctnb.gif

Thanks.

Where was Shaq?

[bigkingsfan]

Thanks.

Where was Shaq?
On the bench at the time, nothing worthy happened after that.

[RoseCity07]

That punch may look weak but Randolph broke Ruben Patterson's eye socket with a punch. That hurt.

[wang4three]

Good job Zach. Show everyone how thug you are.

[Styles p]

yes ive been waiting to see amundson get punched for years.

[Ian]

Gotta wonder what they were saying to eachother.

[FindingTim]

yes ive been waiting to see amundson get punched for years.

why?

[KeylessEntry]

Definitely suspension worthy. That was a very lame move by a lame player.

[Styles p]

why?
cause he looks like a douche ***/korvers twin/ ponytail

[GOBB]

Damn Zack is killing me in fantasy. So glad I'm not in a money league. I'd sucker punch him back.

[John Dough]

Damn Zack is killing me in fantasy. So glad I'm not in a money league. I'd sucker punch him back.
He's on my team. In a money league. Along with t-mac. :cry:

[Prodigy]

Wouldn't be surprised if he got 5 games.

[Zan Tabak]

He wouldn't of done that sh!t to Shaq...

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

He would punch Shaq and get dealt lol. Really though, I bet he would hit shaq

[FindingTim]

He would punch Shaq and get dealt lol. Really though, I bet he would hit shaq

If he did, Shaq would just look at him and smile while Z-Bo nurtured his hand.

[ktc629]

Randolf is a punk and theres no debate....

[beasted86]

Hey, Walsh, why don't you pass one of those celebration cigars your smoking over to me?

[Al Thornton]

Randolf is a punk and theres no debate....
you can't spell no debate :roll:

[Brujesino]

Wouldn't be surprised if he got 5 games.

are you saying thats alot or a little ?

i think stern should ***** slap him with 20 game suspension do not tolerate fights especially ***** moves

[beasted86]

that's probably a 3-4 game suspension.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

20 game is pushing it. I can see 5 though

[White Chocolate]

Definitely worthy of a 2-3 game suspension. He certainly wouldn't have done that to Amare or Shaq.

[Se]

Weakest punch ever.

Amundson is a *****, look at him run.

He should've made a name for himelf, he could take out Zach.

[InspiredLebowski]

are you saying thats alot or a little ?

i think stern should ***** slap him with 20 game suspension do not tolerate fights especially ***** moves

While I sort of halfheartedly agree with you, JO got 25 games for BLASTING a fan, then got it reduced to I think 15.

Course, I don't understand why suspensions are always put on Stern. The team could suspend him.

[spursdynasty420]

yah what a weak punch and amundson is as soft as dirk maybe worse

[NY Comeback]

lol Randolph straight yapped him. :oldlol:

2-3 games at most. Even 3 is kinda pushing it.

[23jordan23]

Its clowns like this ...ruin the state of ur franchise (portland)..solid player..but it boils down to character...boot his ass to the NBDL...so uncalled for..youd think Amundson hit him or tried to injur him? Clown

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

send a 20/10 guy in the NBA to the NBDL? Lol, get real

[Juges8932]

What a ***** hit, that's pathetic. Somebody is trying to compensate by putting their big "tough" guy act on. Bet he wouldn't of hit somebody bigger than him.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

"What'd I do wrong?"

http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/blog/zach_randolph-thumb.gif

[CelticForce1349]

I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but I can't believe the number of just plain a$$hole wanna-be tough guys on this forum acting like this is cool.

It should be a lengthy suspension and no one should feel sorry for this giant turd, Randolph. What a punk ass b!tch. Punching people is not part of basketball you losers.

BTW, Nice slam dunk off the allyoop from Nash by this Louis kid.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

Yup, I can tell why he didn't fight back

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0gSe3lt4sF2Cq/340x.jpg

[White Chocolate]

send a 20/10 guy in the NBA to the NBDL? Lol, get real


He's not going to the D-League. But on a serious note, just because someone averages 20/10, it doesn't make them great. Zach was only shooting 43% as a Knick and he averages < 1 when it comes to steals and blocks per game. His 20/10 statline is overrated.

[Diesel J]

lol Randolph straight yapped him. :oldlol:




:roll:

By the way, after seeing that gif, I'll say that wasn't really a punch. Doug Christie hitting Rick Fox years back was more of a punch while this was more like
a "smush" with his fist instead instead of a open hand.

[MTing]

What did Amundson do?

[StephenDedalus]

The white players need to have an uprising soon. Too much black on white violence in the NBA.

[kobesabi]

The Suns need DJ MBenga

[Biddy77]

*not surprised*

zbo doesn't know how to act.

[reppy]

The white players need to have an uprising soon. Too much black on white violence in the NBA.

Why do you have to come into every thread with some racist ****?

[pato]

I wonder what the Clippers past "20-10" PF would have done....cry home to mommy?

[White Chocolate]

Slightly off-topic, but I just learned that Amundson is American. I was convinced he was European for some reason.

[JordanL]

Good job Zach. Show everyone how thug you are.
Everyone up here in Oregon still remembered...:oldlol:

[CelticForce1349]

Slightly off-topic, but I just learned that Amundson is American. I was convinced he was European for some reason.


Me too. I seriously think every white player in the NBA is from Europe. It's seems like most American white kids are discouraged from taking basketball seriously at a young age.

I suspect most white parents either tell their kids they wont be tall enough or just say basketball is a sport for the black kids. I think most white kids get discouraged when they can't do their favorite AND1 tricks or playground dunks the first time they attempt it.

I also really think the first time many white kids get around the black kids and the little hippity-hoppity smack talk starts they **** their pants and never recover mentally. I don't care what anybody says, the players coming out of Europe are mentally tougher than the white kids in America 99% of the time.

Sue me and send me the bill. I don't care.

[oh the horror]

Zach is part of that chunk of NBA players who just cant seem to get their attitude in check. Tempermental human beings, who dont play well with others, cant act right, and stay out of trouble. Its a damn shame, because a ton of them are talented. Zach HAS talent, but no direction, and no professionalism.

[gts]

it's going to be a big suspension imo... hovered over the guy while he was on the ground, waitied for him to get up then hit him... more than just a couple games

[White Chocolate]

it's going to be a big suspension imo... hovered over the guy while he was on the ground, waitied for him to get up then hit him... more than just a couple games


Guy have had fights and gotten less than 5 games. Z-Bo isn't getting more than 3.

[#1SportsFan86]

I wonder if Zach would have hit Stephon Jackson on Ron Artest like like....

[FinishHim!]

Check out what Snack Randolph had to say later:

Randolph knocked Amundson to the floor with his left elbow, then glared down at him. When Amundson stood to face Randolph, the Clippers forward threw a punch with his left hand and connected with a solid blow. He was immediately ejected.

"I'm not going to back down from anybody,'' Amundson said. "I don't care who you are in this league.''

Randolph said he was merely trying to push Amundson away.

"He hopped up and got in my face and almost kissed me in my mouth,'' Randolph said. "I just pushed him out of my face.

"If I would have hit him, he wouldn't have got up off the ground,'' said Randolph, who is almost certain to be suspended.

Said Amundson: "I was getting in his face, but I wasn't trying to kiss him.''

[blackification]

Let this fat **** play tomorrow see what shaq does to his ass. Don't suspend him just fine him and let him play tomorrow you can suspend him the game after that. Let shaq teach him a thing or two first.

[jaydacris]

Said Amundson: "I was getting in his face, but I wasn't trying to kiss him.''

haha

[New Jazzy Nets]

yes ive been waiting to see amundson get punched for years.

in college? hes only been in the pros for 3 years and barely played in the first 2 years.

[Styles p]

i always thought amundson was suspect.

[bdreason]

oh well more stats for my boy Eric Gordon a.k.a the only guy who plays like he cares on this sorry a$$ team.

[blackification]

Zach didn't even try to punch him, just pushed that whiteboys mug outta his way
thats cause his fat ass couldn't punch out of a paper bag.. thats bs he didn't try to punch him he obviously did but is too much of a sloth to actually make impact.

[Hammertime]

"He hopped up and got in my face and almost kissed me in my mouth,'' Randolph said. "I just pushed him out of my face.

I love that he talks the way he plays. Empty numbers. He put 5 first person personal pronouns in that sentence and yet said absolutely nothing.

[statman32]

Give the fugazi 5 games for acting like a ***** after the game too. FYI it wasnta punch, it was open hand. Doesnt change the fact that he stood over him, and hit him in the face while talking more trash after the game.

[Rameek]

5 Games for a Smush (as accurately stated earlier in the thread) is ridiculous!:cheers:

[2LeTTeRS]

I'm not going to lie, it kinda does look like Amundson tried to kiss him.

[Valliant13]

Z-Bo acting like a scumbag is par for the course. If someone told me he was runing a meth lab out of the snack bar I wouldn't be surprised.

[twolvesfan]

typical hood tactics from a hood player

[Gunnin4HoLeS]

Randolphs a joke.. Why would he draw attention to himself when he already has a damn rep for being a lazy bum. I hate this guy so much and to top it off he is on the clips...double hate

[FindingTim]

i think people forget that there is a difference between being prejudice against blacks, and being prejudiced against people who live the tough guy gangsta lifestyle.

i don't care if someone is black, white, asian, eskimo, whatever... if you reprezent da' hood, always have a gun, and talk like 3rd grade was just too much, it creates a whole different type of prejudice. and if you have all these qualities and are a multi-millionaire basketball player it makes it even more of a joke.

Correct.

[Molson]

If you give him 2-5 games only you are sending a message that it's not that big a deal to punch a guy in the face during the game. Almost every player misses that kind of time every year for small injuries, deaths in the family etc. 2-5 games is nothing for a player, especially a guy on a team going nowhere.

Obvious and deliberate punches to the face, no matter how lame a punch it is (and let's face it, that's a lame punch) should be an automatic 10 games if not more. You have to send a message to the players that punching someone is 100% in inexcusable and intolerable and if you choose to do so, then you are going to serioulsy hurt your team.

In the heat of the moment, nobody is going to hold back or think twice if it only means a 2-3 game suspension, but beleive me, if everyone knows you are facing 10-20 games for a punch, that heated moment will cool down pretty quickly.

*This is coming from a guy that has Zack on his fantasy team*

[pete's montreux]

I'm gonna say 10 games, and a fine.

[Ancient Legend]

That shall be known as the Zacher-Punch.

this guy gets it

[Valliant13]

The worst part is it didn't come in a heated confrontation. I could understand if Steve Nash Swung on Horry after the body check: I'd still expect him to get punished, but it is a natural escalation.
But it's a differnt situation when Randolph instigates the conflict, taunts the opposing player, then sucker punches him for getting in his face...that kind of attack needs to be punished harshly.

[jbot]

not even a real punch. i think lou could kick z-bo's tail. anyone that can play pro ball in front of millions of viewers w/ a haircut like that has got to be tough.

[Im so nba'd out]

It wasnt a sucker punch...everybody who grew up anywhere near a hood environment knows that if you get in someone face like that a push is coming then a punch followed quickly after.Lou didnt know that cause he is not from a urban area now that he knows that he wont do it again.One last time that was not a sucker punch cause if i seen that at a basketball court i know either the person is scared to fight or he is going to punch the guy in his face.

[ZOMG]

[CelticForce1349]

It was a punch from a sucker...Anyone with any class knows you just don't punch a guy for doing his job on the basketball court.

Zach has no excuse for his actions. Some people might mention the hood but come one folks, it's not where you are from at this point in Zach's life, it's all about where he is going with his life.

Zach refuses to grow up and conduct himself with the class and dignity of an adult and a professional athlete. I am certain Lou didn't expect to be punched in the face because he is more intelligent then that nonsense. Louis knows now all too well NOW what a loser Zach Randolph really is.

.One last time that was a punch from a sucker and he deserves a lengthy suspension. That type of behavior has no place in basketball.


Fixed.

Hey, I made just a few slight changes to prevent you from looking absolutely retarded. You can thank me with some rep when you get the time sir.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

2 game suspension.
that was a weak-ass penalty.
shyt, people should start clubbing each other. Send in a thug to take out the opponent's best player.

"He hopped up and got in my face and almost kissed me in my mouth,'' Randolph said. "I just pushed him out of my face.

"If I would have hit him, he wouldn't have got up off the ground,'' said Randolph, who is almost certain to be suspended.

Tim Thomas blows a kiss into Dirks face at close range and Dirk drops 50 on his head. Dirk is soft.

Zack claims a dude was trying to kiss him and takes a swing and is ghetto hard.


gotta love the NBA and todays youth!

[Im so nba'd out]

Ask anyone who comes from a urban environment and ask them to tell you if someone was to get face to face with them and it wasnt in a joking manner what they would do :cheers:.Matter fact i got a better idea go to a basketball court and get right in someone face and see what they do.....

it isnt the whole getting in your face thing. its that zach instigated the whole thing. he pushed him down, he was yelling at louis while he was down and when louis got up, he immediately took a swing at him

He is now in a professional league and is expected to behave as such.

You dont seem to get in zach mind if he didnt do something people he knew(not talking about his teammates)would probaly have made fun of him and on top of that (im not a racist but its the truth) he would of been made fun of even more because lou amundson is white and seems soft :confusedshrug: .So in a snap decision he kind of pushed/punched him out of his face.

More like Randolph just pushed his face, if he had really punched him, Amundson would've at least had a broken nose or cheek from one of Z-Bo's jabs

[twolvesfan]

closed fist swing = punch

Actually, I would expect if Randolph had a meth lab that it would include a snack bar.

I don't think it was a real punch......that was more like a "get the **** out of my face' shove to the face.

Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy, while not condoning Randolph's action, gave some insight into his player's frame of mind. Apparently Randolph learned his father was critically ill shortly before the game in Phoenix.

"Obviously you don't want anybody doing that," Dunleavy said. "But he found out before the game, literally in the locker room before the game, about his dad.

"He was trying to figure out if he could play in last night's game, or tonight's game."

Randolph was able to get back to Indianapolis, which is where his father is hospitalized. He spoke on the telephone to Dunleavy and apologized after the suspension was handed down.

Doesn't excuse his actions, but I can see why he did it.

no it can be a push if its light and not forceful like Zachs
oh oh i see. so i guess like some other poster said in this thread its only a punch if it breaks a bone or gives a bruise? well then i guess carmelo never threw a punch either and so many other players didnt either:hammerhead:

Don't move, just put your face in the line of Zach's swing and see if you can still call it a push.
