Hedo Turkoglu is a lightweight
Hedo Turkoglu (photo. NBA)Or so says Blazers color commentator Mike Rice. Right before halftime of Magic/Blazers, Dwight Howard and Channing Frye got tangled up, leading to some harmless glares and posturing. Brandon Roy stepped in to play peacemaker, and that’s when Hedo pushed Roy in the back and almost kicked off an international incident.
“Why does Turkoglu, who’s a lightweight, have to defend Dwight Howard, who’s the heavyweight champ?” asked Rice.
That was followed up by Rice and the Blazers’ play-by-play guy trashing Hedo for the next couple minutes, putting every bit of blame on him and stopping just short of calling the FBI and invoking the Patriot Act.
“It’s not like [Roy] is gonna get involved in such things,” one of the announcers said B-Roy’s part in the confrontation. “Roy is the KING!” cried Rice. “He’s Gretzky!”

Why does everyone knock European players for being soft? Haven’t you seen ‘Hostel’? Those guys are crazy, I bet Hedo is more messed up than Max Hardcore.

Mike Rice is the only commentator who has ever been ejected from an NBA game. That’s gotta stand for something.
