Reminds me of Chris Bosh complaining about his livelihood being put at risk by the hustle of other players.
1. Pete Rose would roll over in his grave.
2. His livelihood? Really? As if he'll be in the poor house if he never plays another game?
3. It's hustle, and from a player who needs his job more than Bosh does at this point.

Only in the NBE can a player put rosin/chalk on his hands pregame & throw up the excess without getting a T.

Why should a T be called?
