Booker Suspended 1 Game.

[Thee Jazz Fan]

NBA should in my mind suspend that fake tough guy for basically challenging Booker's manhood. There would've been no altercation had said fake laker tough guy doesn't walk ten feet to initiate contact in the first place.

I do feel the NBA should look at suspending the instigator who asks to be bitchslapped. It's one thing if Booker walks up to said player and hits him. It's another when an idiot player sticks his nose in someone else's fight and escalates it when the whole thing is over.

With that said the punishment for Booker is fair.

Woj: "Booker spoke with the NBA on Wednesday about the incident, a source said. Hibbert stormed into Booker’s personal space after Booker fouled a Lakers teammate ... Booker, who played nearly 20 minutes a game in 79 appearances last season, is a tough, physical presence for the Jazz."

Sounds like Booker or his agent is Woj's source.

Booker was the one who was fouled though

A. Silver has spoken.

Hibbert should at least get a fine, he WANTED to have an altercation. He basically held up a huge sign saying "Please bitchslap me!", and Booker gladly accomodated him.

Yeah plus he instigated the whole situation, correct me if I'm wrong but in a normal court of law the person who initiated the contact is usually at fault most of the time.
