Yesterday’s Ole Miss gif, now this. CBB is on fire. A punch and a teammate on teammate teabagging in one play

at some point in life, you DO in fact run out of chances.

So the guy is legitimately insane

The Rockets should draft him and team him up with Royce White in the D-League.

As a UTEP alum… That was a sweet ending. At least he didn’t get his jaw broken by his own teammate.

.. but he’ll just end up a lost soul and basketball is the only opportunity to get himself straightened out.

there’s not even a figurative excuse for what he did. in summation, there’s no excuse

There was apparently an elbow thrown at the other end of the court, but that obviously doesn’t make it right.

As an ECU alum, this is utterly embarrassing. This guy has been nothing but trouble, and at this point should be kicked off the team. There is, literally, no excuse for what he did.

If the law is on the books I’m all in favor of using it whenever applicable

You’re a damn fool. What evidence is there that he punched the guy for being white?

Nah, I was more driving at if some idiot white dude had done that to an unsuspecting non-white dude the charge would get dangled. But it never seems to work the other way for some reason. If the law is on the books I’m all in favor of using it whenever applicable – black, white, green or purple.

good work clearing everything up for us, champ

Well at the very least I think we – the proud white members of the commentariat – can agree that this one incident makes us all square with blacks for the whole slavery and segregation thing.
I think that’s what dikembemutomballs was driving at.

Getting pummeled by a guy = bad.
Getting pummeled by a guy who has balls on his head = VERY bad.

I was confused at the moment of what was going on.

that’s amazing

Yeah, I don’t get the “confused at the moment” excuse.

He did at least apologize to the dude on twitter .

@shamarrbowden @ktuck_25 didn’t get to speak to you after the game but I want to apologize to you and your team. That’s not who I am I am bigger than that and it was out of character of me. I was confused at the moment of what was going on. Hope you accept my apology and good luck with the rest of yalls season.

This quote from that linked Dec. 2011 article is now hilarious to read after this, and the April gun incident.

If the stigma of the heavily-tattooed athlete being wild and crazy still exists, Shamarr Bowden is shooting down that unfair stereotype while also shooting his way into the hearts of East Carolina fans with his play on the basketball court.

Hate crime? That’s a bit much.

The look on the white guy hanging from the rim’s face as he looks down and sees it happening is absolutely amazing.
