NBA 2025-26

Jermaine is a solid comp although he was a legit #1 option and perennial All-star for a bit. With Bam it’s a DPOY candidate who can score but isn’t really a viable #1 for a contender. Was thinking maybe like Shawn Marion or something
 
So on prosportstransactions.com you can search disciplinary actions throughout league history. I decided to go through and find the most chuckle-worthy suspensions. Players throwing random things is funny to me I guess

Clifford Robinson (R.)suspended by team for 1 game for calling head coach a bad name
Reggie Millersuspended by NBA for 1 game and fined $10,000 for hitting referee with a wad of chewing gum
Stacey Augmonsuspended by NBA for 1 game for cursing and throwing a bottle of lotion at a reporter after game
Sean Williamssuspended by team for 2 games for conduct detrimental to the team (player was arrested after getting in an argument in a cell phone store and throwing a computer monitor)
J.R. Smithsuspended by team for 1 game for conduct detrimental to the team (reportedly threw bowl of soup at assistant coach)
Dewayne Dedmonsuspended by NBA for 1 game and fined $32,414 for tossing massage gun on court after ejection from game
 
How can you hate that play? Jesus. Shaq is especially miserable. Chuck can be a dick at times but he has some really good points too. Shaq is mostly funny when he's busting on something offtopic. Kenny and Ernie are mostly sane.
 
This is gonna sound like I'm defending them and that isn't the case, but I don't think Inside has ever truly been a basketball analysis show first and bringing Shaq onto the show was the moment they stopped trying to even pretend that was the case. You pretty much know what you're getting when you watch them at this point. Charles has never been an expert analyst but Shaq drags him down even further because his worst moments are when he's making obviously outrageous statements to try to pop Shaq. But I would still take Charles over Kendrick Perkins anytime.
