damn wtf lol..

Not sure he realized what he was doing and may have been caught up in emotions and a playing zone.. But doesn't look good the way he didnt even give a **** lol

he apologized right after, while the FT's were happening

Camera man at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I don't think he meant to hit the guy, but I think he was just angry and slapped the camera. Doesn't look like the camera man was injured. However, he did start holding his nose. If the camera was injured, in any way, he should have to buy the guy a brand new one.

Good to hear

Shit, didn't see this thread.

Tony's apology was weak. He was by the FT line and put his hand up. He gave a half-assed apology on Twitter too.

Suspend his ass. He's a professional NBA player who assaulted an innocent employee. If he were a Spur I'd expect his ass to be traded.

At least I get why Dennis Rodman kicked a cameraman (nearly spraining his ankle thanks to him)...this is just nuts

you gonna slap him for doing his job?

Not to mention, the Rodman guy milked it so much you hated him.

Didn't Dennis pay him like half a mil?

I remember reading this, but from the video you can see he slightly kicked his leg then a moment later the guy is basically dead on the floor with his hands on his nuts

checked it up: he was suspended 11 games and paid cameraman 200k

Props to the camera guy for being cool about it, he didn't seem to care much.

What was that for?

I was expecting one of those situations where the player trips over a camera guy, and then acts as though it's somehow the camera man's fault that they got hurt. That's a stupid way to behave, but it at least makes sense, in a dumb animal instinct kind of way; toddlers can be observed striking inanimate objects in retaliation, after tripping over them.

In this case, it looks like he just smacked a random camera guy, because he was called for a foul.

What an asshole.

He deserves a suspension or at least a heavy fine.

This. it doesnt look like he was trying to assault the cameraman at all. he committed a foul and got angry because it was his third one. And yeah, he should still probably buy the guy a new camera

He shouted at the camera/camera man, paused to give him a quick glance, and struck him.

[Myth]

I don't think it was malicious, but the recklessness does deserve a suspension.

[Torious]

That Idiot also pretty much kicked Paul in the face. He needs to be heavily fined until he learns to control himself. His look on the way back was pretty funny though. He was like: "WTF am I doing, man! They gonna suspend me!"

And lol at "buy the guy a new camera". He's probably employed at a TV station, so the camera wouldnt be his in the first place.
