Is Brad Miller a Dirty Player?
Brad MillerTowards the end of the first half of the Lakers/Kings game, Trevor Ariza went up for a reverse lay-up, and his face ended up in Brad Miller’s forearm.
Unless you saw a couple different angles on the replay, it just looked like a hard foul designed to prevent Ariza from getting an and-1. But Miller smacked Ariza hard enough to break his face.
We’ve all seen the footage of Shaq swinging at Miller back when he was on the Bulls after Miller took a good swipe down the Diesel’s cheek.
Do you think this is evidence of a larger issue with Miller?

the best instigators are the ones who aren’t normally suspected…

Shaq has the worst aim with his haymakers. He wiffed at Chuck too.

That video isn’t enough for me to say “yes”. That was more Oakley than Miller. I haven’t seen tonight’s incident yet.
BTW, was that Ron Artest in the middle of the fight? I’m not surprised.

Did whoever post this watch the video? It was obviously Oakley who caught Shaq.

Shaq knew better than to swing at Oak

Wow. Either Miller has spidey senses or Shaq can’t swing for shit.

If shaq had connected, his “haymaker” would have only broke brad miller’s goatee. Shaq just isn’t a fighter.

That was Oak. Oak felt he was fouled on the other end. Got back at Shaq. Shaq took at shot at the wrong dude.

LOL - Shaq looks like he is playing Wii Fishing with that punch.

LOL!
miller doesn’t have spidey senses, look, he got cracked in the head twice! 1st by oak and then by diesel on the follow-up to the 1st punch that might have sent him to jail. a nice tackle by ron-ron and did anyone else pick up on the fact they played will smith in the arena rite after to difuse tension and make the mood cheery?!

good to see RonRon acting as the voice of reason… but yeah, Brad Miller’s a little dirty. He gets under everyone’s skin, makes his fouls effective, and hustles around with a lot of little instigation moves that build up. You probably catch five knees, three full forearm shivers, one minor headbutt, and an entire evening of him tugging on your shorts just to fuck with you whenever you line up against Brad Miller.

Ehh Brad doesn’t mean to be a big hack. I didn’t see his offense at all on Shaq. He made a play for the ball. As far as Ariza goes, Brad don’t like getting dunked on. And you know? Normally he does these little tickle fouls, and lets the guy score anyway so I’m happy to see him foul someone hard.

Good thing Shaq can’t fight, or we’d be calling Brad Miller one of the all time greats (always happens when a player dies)…was that wrong to say? Sorry hahaha

SInce when is a hard foul considered dirty? Last time I checked, that’s how basketball is supposed to be played.
