Those guys are wearing cups; a little adjustment is necessary from time to time. But Ben Gordon wasn't adjusting anything. He grabbed his crotch to say, well, what exactly? "Look at me, I'm a big man"? He hit arguably the biggest shot of the series; we all know what a big deal he is. Grabbing his crotch was unnecessary and third-grade-ish. -- Jenni Terry T., I understand the crotch grabbing in baseball.

Jenni, don't watch any baseball games, they do it all the time! I wouldn’t expect a woman to understand why a male athlete grabs his crotch after a big play.

Jenni, don’t watch any baseball games, they do it all the time!

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:57:00 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/jennicarlson/?p=429#comment-7970 Another low class example of what the nba has become. There are many, many classy players in the NBA. Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan, Chris Paul are good examples, but for every Tim Duncan there is a Carmelo Anthony (who appeared in a video his rookie season with gang bangers in his home town of Baltimore encouraging people to "stop snitching" on criminal.) For every Chris Paul, there is an Allen Iverson (who once made a rap song about why he hates white people), and for every Kevin Durant, there is a crotch grabbing idiot like Ben Gordon. When a league has a gentleman to idiot ratio of 1 to 1, it's hard to imagine what the future may hold. Another low class example of what the nba has become.
