How do YOU GET a flagrant for an ALMOST contact foul :what:


ZAZA PACHULIA HITS DAVID WEST WITH AN ELBOW, WEST SPARED ZAZA’S LIFE

Published on February 6th, 2016 by Astramskas, David | 6,094 views




If there’s one guy in the league you do not want to mess with it’s David West. He’s one of the league’s true “tough guys” and is so ruthless, he even put the Cavs mascot in the hospital (seriously).

On Friday night, Zaza Pachulia flirted with a trip of his own to the hospital when he bumped and then elbowed West in the face; Zaza was hit with flagrant foul and West with a tech for letting Zaza know.

Zaza would later get ejected after scoring his only field goal of the game while the Mavs were down by 35.



Since neither of them did anything else in the game worth showing, here’s a collection of West’s best fights and altercations.

I actually think pachulia would hold his own against anyone..he's got that former Soviet ugliness that you should be wary about...and I don't think you could hurt him by going after his head...

I actually respect that he doesn't back down from anybody...

Zaza faked throwing the ball at his head, bumped him and threw an elbow at him while West was waiting for Patty Mills to hold him back and doing his best Kendrick Perkins impression

If you've seen West play, it's not difficult to believe that his favorite off-season training activity is boxing. He started toward the end of June this year – later than usual because of the Pacers' playoff run – and went three days a week. His sessions included work with the heavy bag and the speed bag, and some sparring. The point is to improve conditioning and reflexes, as well as maintain toughness by taking some blows.

And he does take some blows. Willingly. West has no hidden desire to box professionally, because he has sparred often enough with pros to respect them and their profession.

“They hit hard,” he said.

One of the heavy hitters was Rashad Holloway, a onetime title contender who has sparred with the likes of champions as Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao. West stands 6-9, and weighs about 245 pounds. Holloway is a 6-foot welterweight, meaning he can't fight at more than 147 pounds. Let's just say that it didn't go any better for West in the ring than it would have gone for Holloway on a basketball court.

“I was under the impression that because I'm so much bigger I'd be able to handle some of that, but it doesn't quite work that way,” West said.

West is a traditionalist who prefers boxing over the modern alternative, mixed martial arts. He was a fan of Mike Tyson during Tyson's glory days, which coincided with West's boyhood, and counts George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Oscar de la Hoya and Pacquiao among his favorites. Oh, and Floyd Mayweather, too – because of his ability to defend.

“The art of defense still wins,” West said.



:ehh:
