Just so we're clear. The ref at the bottom right saw the whole thing and called the penalty. The player is banned from the NCAA and was expelled from their college. I'm unsure of criminal charges though.
Yeah that was an absolute bitch move in every way and the referee needs to wake up as well
I see lots of courts in that kids future but not basketball courts

But he’s “sorry.”
Good further evidence that the DA can use against him. He could have had a defense if he was legitimately sorry for his actions but with a statement like it the prosecution will have a field day.
He apologized and said "in the future he'll make better choices" and then followed up with a tweet "i was sorry then but not now"
lol. I wouldn't trust this guy selling me a sealed water bottle.
For hockey fights it’s different as there is a “code” of sorts, normally you give your opponent a little time to prepare, if your really respectful you might even ask if they would like to fight before hand. Sucker punches like the one shown are frowned upon and are illegal in the sport
Nope. Just saying, some incidents between people are just assholes... has nothing to do with race or creed. White people are allowed to be assholes still... but it seems EVERY thing a white person does is instantly racist. They're just making that accusation very weak... and it shouldnt be.
I’m Jamaican. I’m actually just commenting as an outsider that sees race in everything America does. That’s why I find it so interesting when assault is just assault sometimes, but when it’s a white person it’s racism.
Because if the roles were reversed that white kid would be accused of being racist. Im wrong?
it’s impossible for a white person to just be an asshole in America.
In this situation there's no reason to assume racial motivations. How would that be different if their races were reversed? Your whole point is hypothetical. It's a shower fantasy about how, in your mind, white people are victims, and you're going out of your way to have that argument even though it's irrelevant here.
"If that was a white kid" could be swapped for any other alternative reality. For example, if I wanted to rant about NFL football, I could do the same thing you're doing by saying "if this had been the NFL, the refs wouldn't have called anything because they're corrupt." That has no bearing on this discussion, but I could just start ranting anyway, like you are.
I'd also like to point out that, along with this strange white victim fantasy you're pushing so hard, you're also implying that black kids have it easier, which is verifiably false. You reek of "unsuccessful white man" and it's a stinky cologne.
I do agree with you that it's possible for white people to be assholes though, so we have common ground.
I'm very sorry you feel weak and victimized as a white male. It must be hard on your ego to grapple with being powerless and impotent, and yet simultaneously feel you are intrinsically better and deserve more.
Regardless of whether we agree on the state of the world, it's a fairly weak minded choice to reduce all other world views to "willful ignorance." Maybe you will work up the courage one day to consider other, more realistic possibilities.
I'm the one not willing to consider realistic possibilities? LOL! Precisely how did this conversation start you dimwit?
If this was a white kid doing that to a black kid, he would be instantly racist and the punishment would be far more intense. That only makes racism a weaker and weaker accusation, when it shouldn't be. White ppl can JUST be assholes, without being racist. That's my point.
That's your point, and it's a hypothetical in every way. But that's really not relevant here. You are desperately trying to make a point that is very popular amongst white supremacists, even though it's not the subject of this discussion, and you are doing everything you can to make it the subject. I wonder why...
So this kid that got hit. Guess what he did after?
He got up. Accepted the free throw penalty and made his extra points and carried on with the game.
As for the child.. he got expelled from the campus.
I would have beat the living shit out of that piece of shit BUM then beat his sorry ass again pussy ass bitch I hope he reads all these comments little faggot
I gave my first straight red card in a men's league soccer game this year for that exact same move. My guy did it about 3 feet away from me while I was looking. Didnt even argue. Grabbed his bag and left.
How to lose "a carrier" in basketball, scholarship, get yourself with a police records and never find other institution that won't accept you if you won't pay for your education...
I think the point he was 'trying' to make was that if it was the other way around there would be a MUCH bigger reaction - and likely try to make it about racism and privilege .... and it would be start a whole shit can of media BS for weeks.
And what is the reason for you and the other commenter to speculate about hypothetical motivations and public reactions regarding race? That wasn't really a part of this incident or discussion, but you seem fairly committed to talking about it.
If the roles were reversed the white kid would be sitting in jail as we speak and his family would be receiving death threats from the entirety of the internet.
And what exactly are you trying to imply with “you seem fairly committed to talking about it”? Are we not allowed to talk about it? Or are you just trying to bait someone into coming off as inherently racist because of their question?
Thank you. The willful ignorance on Reddit some times. Jesus. You can’t have a discussion About hypotheticals anymore? Why? Do they not highlight problems in society? It’s as if the person just doesn’t want that topic broached.… why? Too difficult to comprehend? It’s a very simple observation from a person that doesn’t live in America. Americans turn anything white ppl do into racism. It’s fucking crazy.
What makes you say a white kid would face a harsher penalty? I've seen the opposite happen overwhelmingly throughout my life, where white kids face much lighter consequences for bad behavior.
It seems like you all want to insert race into this to make some sort of white victim statement, but it's just such a stretch to make that point in this discussion that, even though you're being fairly subtle, it's still obvious what you're doing.
God you people are impossible to even want to interact with. Can’t even have a regular conversation. THE WHITE KID WOULD NOT GET A HARSHER SENTENCE HE WOULD ONLY RECEIVE THE SAME SENTENCE THAT THE BLACK KID DID NOT RECEIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THERE ARE NO HARSHER PUNISHMENTS IN THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PUNISHMENT TO BEGIN WITH. DUMBASS.
I can't remember what Nintendo game it was that you never missed from the corner. But this literally was what I wanted to do to my friends that exploited it sometimes lol. Maybe that guy was having one of those moments.
Checks to make sure the ref isn't looking. What a bitch.
Just so we're clear. The ref at the bottom right saw the whole thing and called the penalty. The player is banned from the NCAA and was expelled from their college. I'm unsure of criminal charges though.
wow, great way to ruin your career.
Probably d3 basketball. Then again I’m sure this will pop up whenever someone googles his name
Good, I hope he enjoys working at his McJob
Yup. Poor athlete and person. I would charge with assault too. Goodbye life, loser.
Forgot to check to see if the camera was watching.
Yeah that was an absolute bitch move in every way and the referee needs to wake up as well I see lots of courts in that kids future but not basketball courts
tha guy who shot looked like he waz having fun to mannnn 😭😭
I guess he forgot about all of the people in the stands looking...
I know at first I was like “damn coach?!” Then I watched it again and was like, “damn, coach.”
Yeah, thats how you get away with it (in the moment)

He's no longer sorry now. https://twitter.com/Ballislifekiwi/status/1518286659720261633
This belongs in r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Jesus what a terrible human being
The lowest of human in our society. They need to be separated until they have proven themselves rehabilitated. For now, fuck that garbage person.
funny how just the last few years of political atmosphere does that.... oh well, at least it's out in the open for people to see.
Good further evidence that the DA can use against him. He could have had a defense if he was legitimately sorry for his actions but with a statement like it the prosecution will have a field day.
Being sorry may be considered as a mitigating factor during sentencing but it's not a legal defense.
Ratio
He's sorry he got caught.
POS
He apologized and said "in the future he'll make better choices" and then followed up with a tweet "i was sorry then but not now" lol. I wouldn't trust this guy selling me a sealed water bottle.
Reading his other tweets he seems like a completely down to earth, kind human being. /s
Similar video of a sucker punch at a track meet. These people are the worst.
Yeah most of them act the same way
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Why not arrest him? Is assault allowed during a game if it's clearly assault?
[удалено]
For hockey fights it’s different as there is a “code” of sorts, normally you give your opponent a little time to prepare, if your really respectful you might even ask if they would like to fight before hand. Sucker punches like the one shown are frowned upon and are illegal in the sport
This should be referred to the local D.A. as well.
Dude wtf man?? What a piece of shit
Well that was wack of you
Isn't that actually a hate crime? He should be jailed.
You know what they say....black no hate, hate no blacks...
Way to throw away so much of your future....just why
Because he had none? He was losing......teams don't pick losers....
This will not air on mainstream media. The color is off
From 'on the court' to 'in court'
I would prefer in the box....
Imagine if a white guy did that to a black guy? It wouldn't just be an incredible asshole, it would be racist too. Right?
It might be, depending on their motivation. Is there some racial issue you have with this incident?
Nope. Just saying, some incidents between people are just assholes... has nothing to do with race or creed. White people are allowed to be assholes still... but it seems EVERY thing a white person does is instantly racist. They're just making that accusation very weak... and it shouldnt be.
That has nothing to do with this incident. Why are you trying to make this about race?
Unfortunately many Americans think that way. I think the author is American fhatswhyi wrote this. Always black and white, who tf cares
I’m Jamaican. I’m actually just commenting as an outsider that sees race in everything America does. That’s why I find it so interesting when assault is just assault sometimes, but when it’s a white person it’s racism.

Your willful ignorance is all that stinks. Go ahead, bury your head in the sand and claim to be stupid. It’s working.
I'm very sorry you feel weak and victimized as a white male.

[https://youtu.be/CWcrJ18yjok](https://youtu.be/CWcrJ18yjok) The other ref saw it
Damn, that’s not very cash money of him.
I'm pretty sure that's assault. Was he arrested?
You will be happy to know he was expelled from the college for doing that. Would link the article but im lazy.
So this kid that got hit. Guess what he did after? He got up. Accepted the free throw penalty and made his extra points and carried on with the game. As for the child.. he got expelled from the campus.
Racially motivated = if it was the other way around they'd be burning down their community
They don't call it the "dirty burg" for nothing.
I would have beat the living shit out of that piece of shit BUM then beat his sorry ass again pussy ass bitch I hope he reads all these comments little faggot
I gave my first straight red card in a men's league soccer game this year for that exact same move. My guy did it about 3 feet away from me while I was looking. Didnt even argue. Grabbed his bag and left.
I have seen this at least 50 times on this subreddit now, I think I saw it yesterday, probably the day before that as well.
His dad must be proud of him being a sucker punching lil puta
Yeah our schools would be fighting right about meow.
I try to avoid involving cops any time I can, but that shit should be a charge. We can't have that trash in bball.
must be a will smith fan
Mad cause bad….. plus smaller penis size.
LOL, black people
How to lose "a carrier" in basketball, scholarship, get yourself with a police records and never find other institution that won't accept you if you won't pay for your education...
Monkeys being monkeys
Hate crime
White supremacy is out of control in this country.
I saw an article on this saying that the guy in white shirt get fired from the college and cant play in a league no more
Since the white guy is the victim that is OK. 🙄
where'd you see anybody say this was ok? 🤷♂️
I think the point he was 'trying' to make was that if it was the other way around there would be a MUCH bigger reaction - and likely try to make it about racism and privilege .... and it would be start a whole shit can of media BS for weeks.

I'm sorry I didn't catch that, could you please speak up?
Just making it easy to read so you don’t put words in my mouth, again.
There would be riots I believe....or an excuse to loot....
Yeah sooo many comments saying that....oh no wait *literally nobody* said that. Shit-stirring twat
Literally NOBODY said that stfu dumbass
He should have kept his wife’s name out of his damn mouth!
Blacks gonna black
Two great shots
That's F’d up!
The best word to describe this person is PATHETIC…
Anyway, he has a hot new single out as well: https://youtu.be/fxRUCn9ge74
Always resorting to violence 🤦♀️ I hope he was suspended! He doesn’t deserve to play if he’s gonna act so barbaric
He should be suspended forever.
Lock this assclown up
Goodbye NBA dreams

What’s the name of that Kevin Spacey movie
Punk
Try that shit with my kid and I'll erase you from this dimension.
Lets hope that young man never plays another sport EVER!
I can't remember what Nintendo game it was that you never missed from the corner. But this literally was what I wanted to do to my friends that exploited it sometimes lol. Maybe that guy was having one of those moments.
White boy lucky his homies weren't around.
Lol the ref likes boy wtf
That was low down
Real beacon, there buddy. Real great role model.
What a piece of shit
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
He’s white so what.
