Moore’s pushups over Grida

Classy of Grida to not react, but it's a seriously dickhead move from Moore... He's lucky he didn't do it to one of the 36ers players who always seem to be up for a bit of chest bumping, there could have been another brawl...

I'm all for a good push and shove after showing up a teammate, but the way no-one reacted probably sums it up. Don't think any disrespect was meant, just a bit of a hot dog act. If Conklin had ran in he would be crucified with all his elbowing and dirty player reputation. If Hawks players feel so aggrieved then set a few moving picks on him next game.

At least Moore didn't do the downward dog on him.

Total bullshit. In my mind he should have got an unsportsmanlike foul. Just imagine if it was Drmic on the receiving end. He gets up swininging.
Of course the crowd was laughing it was a New Zealand home crowd.

Thanks Isaac. Just saw the footage.

Grida did show class.

Perhaps a quiet apology and discussion between the 2 before their next game (preferably in person) will settle it.

I like the phrase “casual Christmas racism”, but is racism ever casual???

How bad was the post that was modded?

Not a great look from the NBL at all. Grida showing more class than the league by a long way.

NBL comes off worse than Moore, having had time to at least think about what they were doing. I doubt Moore could see the reaction at the time and realise that it was more disrespectful than playful.

Next question is, did he get in more pushups than field goals made per game?

That comment wasn't anything to do with NBL at all, it was to do with interpersonal respect. Think about it.

People on the left are more concerned with rights violations and making sure people's feelings aren't hurt.

My point is that I'm not a left-wing thinker (for the most part) so I am far from extreme in how I view such things, but even I thought it was a violation of personal space and should have been punished.

Nah it was disrespectful. And he went on with it for a good few seconds.

Think about it this way: another man gets in your personal space and physically keeps you from getting getting up off the ground until he finishes showboating on top of you. Then if Grida would have rightly taken exception and showed Moore away, Grida is the bad guy.

I'm not a leftie and even I think what Moore did wasn't on. I said it in the other thread, should have been a tech foul.

100% agree with you Mock! I thought it was unsportsmanlike and bushleague type behaviour. Not sure what the ref's were thinking, should've been a tech
