Did anyone catch the segment on Rasheed Wallace that NBC ran this weekend? It was talking about his "difficulties" with the NBA officials. He couldn't believe that he had gotten T's for staring down officials.
Well when they got to his mother, it ALL made since. She said that it is obvious that most officials are very small people and they automatically feel intimidated when a tall African American man stands next to them! Since most officials aren't very tall, this is the only way they could "get into the game" and it makes them feel bigger by Teching Rasheed. My wife and I couldn't believe she said that!! By her logic, Shaq would lead the league in T's and Manute Bol would be the all time T leader, with Ralph Sampson a close second!
Did anyone else catch that or was I hallucinating on NyQuill?
