Apparently this idiot has a habit where he just has to rub the ball after each free throw (not taken by him). On Sportscenter earlier today, they showed three previous plays in this game where he went out of his way to get the ball, rub it, and then hand to the official. This time it didn't work out so well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IGJAhbUEag |

Denied. This was hilarious. One of the best ejections of all time. |

That was funny, but dude needs to grow up. You don't need to rub the ball. Play the game and stop being a baby. |

Ummm, has no one noticed that Boozer rubs the ball for EVERY free throw? When he's in the game, obviously. I noticed this when he got to Chicago. It annoys the shit out of me. |

But if you going to have one, it should be a personal one and not one that impacts the entire game and teams. Wear the same socks (hi spanky) after a win or something, but don't rub the ball. |

This goes to everyone here. Pay attention to tonight's Bulls game. Boozer does the same damn thing. Would love to see the same ref tonight toss him. |

Boozer definitely is the poster boy for this behavior. It's incredible that the NBA officianados on this board have not realized he does this. |

the name sounds like a terrorist. I bet he is a terrorist doing something to terrorize us when he rubs the ball. |

No reason for me to be sarcastic there. I was serious. I really don't pay attention to little stuff like that so I hadn't noticed Boozer doing it. |

Ahh. I though it was after every free throw, regardless if he's the one shooting or not. Thanks, DB. |

Garnett's "No free bucket" crap reminds me of Schiano having his team rush the line when the game is all but lost. Garnett would still do that, no matter how much his team is down. Wanna keep the ball from going in the basket? Try doing it when the clock is running. |

But also, he doesn't want to risk giving an opposing player the satisfaction or comfort of having made a basket. I get that. Don't want to risk a guy getting into a rhythm off a shot that doesn't count. |
