IMO Joey's biggest mistake was his target that night. I am official an a fan of the NBA (one of the few among my peers). Tim Duncan is poster child for the NBA, an rightfully so. The NBA is mired in on an off court problems with is players and there image. I obviously don't know Mr Duncan personally, but he seems like a very likable individual who plays the game the right way, and conducts himself in a way we can all appreciate on and off the court. If this happens with the likes of a Rasheed Wallace or someone like that this is probably not as big of an issue. Maybe he's suspended for a few games, but the reaction as it were might be different. If anyone caught the interview on 60 Minutes a while back with his brother and father you would truly see the passion he has for the game. I think there is a lesson here for all of us, both on, and off the court. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail, Joey will see his error for what was, and return to the NBA.
