The NBA is known for unsportsmanlike conduct, and rather uncalled for actions by the players. Recently, the Warriors back up point guard, Shawn Livingston was suspended for one game for taking a shot at all star and future hall of fame power forward, Dirk Nowitzki. They would later talk it at, and Livingston would later say, "You know, for a white guy, it's pretty impressive". Livingston and Dirk are now on good terms, and everything is normal between them, but the NBA on the other hand, did not take so lightly to it. Normally, that would just have been a technical foul, resulting possession of the ball and two free throws. I guess the NBA are looking forward to the next generation of Nowitzkis, so they are trying very hard to protect the family jewels.
