According to @PeterVecsey1, #BullsNikola Mirotic initiated the skirmish. Niko "was the aggressor, not Portis


So... Sounds like Niko was the dumbass.

I know he looks bat shite crazy but he really is a good yes sir no sir hold the door open for you kid. This type of behavior is completely out of character from what I've ever seen from him.

For him to do something like this something had to happen.and according to the NBA it did

Are we even sure that he sucker punched him?

Seems like to me, the latest reports aren't saying that.

Mirotic was the aggressor. bobby cracked him. sucker punch means unprovoked to me. If you coming at somebody it's not a sucker punch. It's the first one.

Can attest to this. Was always an incredibly nice guy on campus. Not surprised he didn’t start this ish.

I think people jumped too fast to crucify the guy if the "sucker punch" aspect of it was misreported.

However, I'm not going to absolve the guy for what he did without further context. When they say Mirotic was the aggressor does it mean that he was a legitimate physical threat to Portis or more like he was just getting in his face in the heat of the moment?

It sounds like they were already pushing and shoving at the very least when the punch was thrown. It takes two to tango. I’m not saying Portis wasn’t wrong but there’s no such thing as a sucker punch once both people are chest to chest shoving talking shite. If Portis had blindsided Mirotic I think the Bulls probably would have come out more strongly against him.

I'm sure he's a good kid but good kids make mistakes. There seems to have been bad blood between the two in the past and it escalated when Mirotic has given the starting job. Here's an article shedding more light on the matter.

LINK /

I like Portis and I think he can be a good NBA player. That said, that doesn't excuse his action. I do find it disturbing that he imagines people beating his mother to get hyped up before games.

quote:

“I’m very crazy," Portis said, via CSNNE. "I play angry, I play mad. I play very angry. Every game, I sit in the locker room and I have visions of the players on the other team slapped my mom. So that’s why I get mad and now I get you because you slapped my mom.”


That's just off.

Is it really a sucker punch if you are in a shoving altercation?

Protip: As soon as you lay your hands on another adult to shove them, you should be fully prepared for a fist fight.

Mirotic initiated the skirmish. "He was the aggressor, not Portis," I am informed. "Mirotic shoved Portis twice, maybe three times. When Portis retaliated with a hard shove, Mirotic charged him. Portis put him down."

This some people don’t play the “hold me back” game for 30 minutes just to try to look tough.

It’s an interesting look into a locker room that has had a lot of reshuffling. Portis is probably trying to make this his team and there was a power struggle. Some of these guys aren’t just trying to smoke weed and make friends. They’re playing for 30 million dollar contracts. Bobby’s gotta be more careful though.

Which would be the natural assumption knowing BP's history. Of course, many on this board are like moths to a flame when it comes to clickbait. Larry Leo's bitches.

I mean little Rock ain't the biggest place on earth this ain't Chicago or something. The entire metro area is give or take 500k and the AA population is prob 15% of that.


The church I go to has 11,000 members the last time I checked st mark is huge. 3 services that are jam packed, we have an indoor gym, 3 story learning center, a game room with xboxs pool tables and crap, a day care center with a full sized play ground. We bought an entire apartment complex and tore it down just for parking. The entire church takes up an entire block from 12th and fair park to 12th and University.



Second Baptist is just as big. Lol they serve food, good food, in church. U can step out and get u a plate of friends chicken then get back to the sermon.



My family has been a part of st mark since the 1930s. The church was founded in 1892 we celebrated 125 years earlier this year. My great grandma was baptized there in 1937.


So yeah I know you or your people if u r black in little Rock. I might not know u directly but I know who u r and u definitely know my momma and my family, my uncle leads the music ministry and my momma does the rights of passage and is the hat lady lol on the 5th row


And the basketball scene is tight knit. Parkview principal who is eathan Hendersons father is a good friend of my family and used to whip my arse all the time when I was little. Very rare something goes down with little Rock basketball that I don't know about. Moses Moody, Gerald dokes his dad and my dad literally are best friends, I used to be scared to go over their house cause they got a boxer they keep in the house, the kid from Mills which is my Alma my best friend used to date his older sister etc. Not a big city
