So nowadays when NBAers fight it’s because one social media gossiped about the other?

Sounds like a high school girl feud. This generation of players certainly is a long way removed from the 80s and 90s NBAers.
Same **** happened in the 80’s and 90’s but it was comments from interviews

I’m just not a coward.
Choosing to physically hurt someone over a dispute does not preclude you from being a coward. It takes more courage to not succumb to your emotions, exercise self-restraint, and practice kindness. It doesn’t make you unwilling to fight. It means you aren’t easy to manipulate. If your first instinct to resolve problems is to throw fists, it shows you’re emotionally immature. It also means when you do get into a fight, anyone who knows how to fight will be able to use those emotions to manipulate you.

Look, you do you bro. Just something to think about.

I remember growing up as kids and teenagers, if you had beef, you fought it out and moved on. No sucker punches, weapons, or cheap shots. Throw down and put it behind you.
When you don’t have a fully formed brain, that’s mostly excusable. Using children’s behavior as an example of what to do as an adult and man is not.

I didn’t say it was my first impulse. I said if someone thinks they can be hateful and not get punched in the mouth, that’s on them. And keep telling yourself it’s courage. You’re scared, that’s why you allow people to say awful things. And if you think you should be able to say awful things and not have to worry about being hit in the mouth, that’s makes you a coward too. You get in less trouble in this country for shooting someone than punching someone in the mouth. It’s ridiculous. It’s because the cowards are winning.

Posting passive aggressive stats seems to indicate that there’s probably some history here. It didn’t start there. It’s been going on for some time. Usually by the time it gets to fists, the fragile ego has gone both ways.
Wrong. Bam is the problem.

Don’t worry. Basketball players can’t fight. They’re terrible. All of them. They’re just big. Have you ever seen any basketball player fight well?
Me neither.
They are. Punch like girls, the lot of them. That's why you go with the moose over the skinny kid

Great advice if you want to land yourself in jail and be unemployed.
Rarely have I agreed with both takes. lol.
It is true more people would keep their mouths shut and not cause drama if they knew someone could bust them in their mouth.
It’s also true the reason they get away with it is you will go to Jail , so responsible people can’t do it. Truly, a catch 22 quandary.

It is quite literally on you legally if you punch someone.

It just amazes me how weak and soft, out of shape, the young people in this country are this day and time. I think I'd be safe in saying only a small percentage could do 10 pushup or pull ups in 2026.

Well you don’t know much about fighting it seems. You fight for one reason, to win. If it involves sucker punches, weapons or cheap shots you do it. There’s no rules in a real fight. WIN

False dichotomy. How bout neither?
How about people not say awful things? How about cowards stop carrying guns everywhere so that they can say awful things. We can how about all day long. It's crazy that people are allowed to do and say awful things and not expect a reaction.

I agree about cowards carrying guns. And sure you shouldn’t say cruel things. But you can’t control what people say much more than what they think. To me it’s crazy that people are so thin skinned they can’t take words and move on. Do you care about his opinion that much? What’s the term? Snowflake? Are we so lost as a society that we’ve reverted to throwing fists because someone said something you don’t like? I find that pathetically weak minded.

Bam and Hero are professional athletes. Athletes that should be able to deal with criticism. These men have all the advantages in the world and it’s disgusting they act like children.

Hate to see Cat on Cat violence, but Herro has always been annoying as hell since he landed in Miami. I probably just overlooked it all when he was here at UK honestly.

So just curious, what was the hateful things that were posted, from my understanding he posted some stats? So stats equal a punch in the mouth?
