I heard Kobe on the Dan Patrick show and he said that Bill Russell told him that in Russell's first All-Star game, there were 3 fights!! I guess they cared back then!

This did happen in a big city right? This was Las Vegas right? What does any of this have to do with the NBA. Gangs are all over the place. I doubt seriously that some of these same incidents do not take place during other events. And the fact that Jason Whitlock wrote this article tells me a lot about the credibility of this story.

Peace

JRut -- you are failing to understand that this happened IN LAS VEGAS -- our most moral and uncorrupt city. The streets are safe and the people that visit are law abiding.

This weekend of terror can only be attributed to the thuggish mentality that the NBA brought to the quiet and peaceful city in the desert.

Jason Whitlock used extreme objectivity in his article and I am sure that the citizens of Las Vegas will be happy if this boorish game never went back.
