Thumbs down I do not think that is fair.

Well I do not think that a rapist and a player that gets a Technical foul are people that should be put into the same category. Technical fouls are not against the law, but rapping someone is. Technical fouls (or behavior that gets you one) are against the rule of basketball and nothing else.

I just do not find that funny or appropriate. But then again, I guess Rasheed Wallace with all his faults, seems to be a good father and mostly a good person off the court needs be be lumped with a person that has committed a crime in a court of law. If that person was convicted yet.

Peace
