PJ Hairston punched a high school kid tonight?

[TheRed]

No.

 

Children fight....grown ups are able to control their emotions.

 

Oh the irony....

[ThinkAboutIt]

How is it even possible that the car Josh Gordon was driving when he was busted, was registered to PJ Hairston?

 

Someone has to be making that up, lol.

[Cary Kollins]

Funny seeing all the UNC honks defending Hairston to the death having no idea what exactly went down.

 

 

Just as bad as the UNC haters overreacting.

[ThinkAboutIt]

I'm new here. But I thought I'd chime in.  I looked the kid up, he's 6'5'', nearly 200lbs (if I'm correct).  Punching a 17 year old kid is inexcusable... 

 

How is a 21 year old punching a 17 year old "inexcusable"?

I'm not reading EVERY page to see if this was posted....

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with "UNC" has the brain capacity of sand.

 

This is all about "pick up games," and the fact that most people know that fights happen all the time, just like this one. They're over as quickly as this one ended. We're not talking about a Pacers-Pistons brawl here.

 

Most people don't think it's a big deal, because it wouldn't be if the guy didn't know that Hairston was who he is.

This isn't about a fight at a pickup game. It's about a guy that has not been able to stay out of his own way.

[CatScratchFever]

Regardless of what exactly happened, the bottom line is that PJ is in the headlines for the wrong reasons. The Hornets took a risk in drafting him knowing his history.  Only 10 days into his pro career he is becoming a headache.  How long will his talent level on the court be worth the headache he is causing the organization off the court?

To the original point, since you can't stay focused...what does "UNC" have to do with it?

 

To suggest that people are defending Hairston because he went to "UNC" is completely ridiculous, and borderline short-bus.

 

People are remembering their experiences in pick-up games, and saying this shouldn't be a big deal for that reason, because it happens all the time. Has zero to do with UNC. Has this punk ever filed charges against anyone else after a fight?

 

Doubt it.

[carolina-chuck]

Not a fan of him right now!!!!!!!!!

Not one bit.

Dude, all he is saying is it is funny to see UNC fans blindly defend PJ without knowing exactly what happened.

This is just as bad as seeing duke fans totally overreacting to the situation as well.

Hes not saying anything about UNC, just about the posters on this board.

[Captain Morgan]

I ain't saying poo till I see the video.  If the kid swung first, he deserved what he got.

 

If not, color me very worried.

[teeray]

No.

Seems simple enough. But poo happens in heated pick up games that don't allow you to think rationally till after the fact.

I could write down a list of the stupid things I've done in practice or pick up games. And I am a generally nice and thoughtful person.
