haha, he got fined, that's like, the opposite of free money

GoRapz · 02-06-2007, 05:31 PM

Why didn't they just take him out instead?

rodney carney or james white should've taken his spot

lol that's hilarious irony given what his comments were

haterofhaters · 02-06-2007, 05:35 PM

they should just take his dumbass off the roster. why have someone participate who doesn't want to be there? pick gay or carney.

DoubleTech · 02-06-2007, 05:37 PM

serves him right... what a clown.

You gotta admit this is funny. I'm dying. Well I guess he will be playing to win back his money. He's down $10,000.

:

Can Tyrus shoot? Maybe he can bet Ben Wallace to a shooting contest. Let Ben shoot his shots from the FT line tho.

Kinda funny but I hope the NBAPA steps in. A fine for his thoughts is insane.

ILLEFEX · 02-06-2007, 05:42 PM

i know he was just being sarcastic.......he mentioned last week that if he was invited, he would gladly participate.......and when he said it yesterday, i know he was just joking around but man tyrus, why didn't you just keep your f***in mouth shut if you gonna say something stupid.........

the way i look at it, he said that so the fans and media would think he doesn't care and when itz his turn to dunk, he will probably do a couple of nice dunks and surprise everybody...........

but still tyrus, why didn't you just shut the f*** up............

They should fine him for however much he would've gotten had he won the contest. That way he'd actually try, so he wouldn't lose any money, which is all he cares about anyway.
