The NBA suspended Joel and B for three games for pushing reporter Marcus Hayes Ice into the locker room.

I’m curious from an athlete’s perspective and also from someone who talks to athletes about the challenges of media training and everything else.

So what was your perspective on all this?

Whether you are the athlete and pushing or the reporter being pushed as if the line has been crossed, this is crossing a line.

But I liked the suspension.

I think three games is fair.

I feel like this is fair.

When he comes back, I think this is the right time for the NBA Cup to start.

And so you try to win the season N tournament.

However, in order to develop this relationship with the athletes in the media, there needs to be some responsibilities on the media side.

Accountability in media is an interesting concept; People may want it, but they don’t know exactly what they want.

They don’t know exactly what it looks like.

Joel and Bead brought his family into the spotlight by talking about his brother and son and saying, “I’m doing this for them.”

And when you include your family, when you brand your family, when you brand someone and include them as part of your story, voluntarily include them as part of your story.

This almost makes them fair game to some extent.

The NBA probably won five games to prevent anything from going to arbitration with the NBA Players Association.

You know three votes is a good number to keep this from becoming public and getting ugly, because no one wants it to get ugly.

And since it conveniently ends on NBA Cup Day, that generally means that if you’re suspended, you’re suspended until you’re healthy enough to play, and then you’re suspended once you’re healthy enough to play. .

Now, it is being said that the punishment will be administered as if he is currently healthy enough to play.

I see your game.

I see your game here.
