According to the police report, Edmondson, a senior cornerback for the Spartans, told police that he told Green to watch where he was going after Green had bumped into him at a different establishment on Friday night and that he and his girlfriend were "choked" by Green's associates.

"I was talking to one of my teammates when Draymond bumped into me and I said, 'Hey bro can you at least say excuse me?'" Edmondson, 22, said in a statement to the East Lansing Police Department about the incident on Friday night. "... I asked who he was to think that it's okay to bump into somebody without saying excuse me. He then said, 'I pay for n---as like you scholarships.' Then I started to say you have me messed up before I was choked out by two guys who were with him."

Edmondson told police that he, his girlfriend and his friends went to Rick's and then Conrad's Grill the following night to celebrate his birthday, and noticed Green was there at Conrad's as well. Edmondson told police that the NBA star was talking to his roommate when he decided to tell him that "last night wasn't cool."

That's when Edmondson told police that matters began to escalate.

"As he responded to me, he began to poke me on my shoulder and I tell him that he doesn't need to put his hands on me, we can just talk," Edmondson said in his statement to police. "As I started to talk again, boom, I'm punched in the jaw, in front of all my friends and peers."

You missed the part of the story when Edmondson went straight to church afterwards, rescued a cat from a tree and then donated a kidney to a small child.

I also refrained from mentioning he is a priest, a keen supporter of the Dalai Lama and has a Free Tibet cock ring

Exactly


You wouldn't lower the ring because Delly can't dunk it, why would you change the rules for guys who can't basketball ?
The fact that Delly can't dunk doesn't make a game unwatchable. End of the day the goal of the NBA is to entertain and intentional fouls are easily the least entertaining aspect of today's NBA. As it is you'll still get 10 minutes a quarter where coaches can try to ruin the game.

To be honest it rarely works as a tactic.

At least when trailing

Sixers get their first win in Vegas, without Simmons, dropping 108 points.

I'm more excited for Dario Saric's NBA debut than Simmons'.

Don't @ me.
