Unfortunately, this is part of our society now. People resort to pulling a gun or starting a fight because they lose a game or someone gets the best of them on the court. I have played with and against guys who would either get the exact shot they wanted or call a foul regardless of whether they really got fouled. The game is just in a bad place right now IMO. Sure the athletes are better than ever, but the skill, pride (in defense mainly) and responsibility are lacking. The end result is the USA has the best individual players in the world, but can't win an international tournament.
