Nobody is saying that he's a thug. Sadly, he's just typical of the ESPN/NBA generation. Gotta be macho...do a little posing, etc. Well, his immaturity ended up costing his team. He gets all the blame, not the official. All the official did was react to a blatant unsporting act that he had been instructed to call diligently.

If you feel like spreading the blame around, you might try throwing a little in the direction of the kid's head coach. Who else should have some responsibility as to how a player should react in situations like this? Certainly not the official.
