Hey, has anyone heard about the OJ Mayo incident that recently occured, or better yet, seen the video?
For those of you who didn't, Mayo gets a "T" after some trash talking following a dunk. A group of people begin to cirlce at mid court as a result of that, but Mayo eventually walks away. He comes back near the pack though, and is given a second technical. If you watch the video though, and reports have supported this, he doesn't say anything. Then as the ref gives him the second T, Mayo follows him, obviously protesting the call. There appears to be the slightest of bumps between Mayo and the ref, and the ref hits the deck like he had just been taken out by a sniper from the crowd.
What are everyones thoughts on this? Personally, I think the ref is basically a huge loser (go figure, he is from West Virginia) and either holds some prejudice against african americans or is likely trying to capitalize on Mayo's impending success as a basketball player.
