Amundson is the man he never backs down and he plays hard. if nene and randolph couldn’t handle the way amundson was defending they shouldn’t be in the nba and zapp what the hell does race have to do with this its all about men who can’t handle a tough defender

Zapp, I was curious reading what you were saying because of the way Amundson said “He’s from Brazil, so I’m sure he knows about soccer tactics like the head butt,” which, is only arguably politically incorrect. But then I read the rest of your comment.

Yeaaaaaah. No. I strongly disagree.

Also: see what Marlo said–Randolph is a psychopath. And Nene’s done other pushing and shoving. He’s a very emotional player. Not crazy like Randolph though.

Zapp you’re kidding right. Did you just refer to Zach “I punched Ruben Patterson in the face” Randolph a smart and clean player? I can’t speak for Nene but Zach Randolph has a history of these types of incidents, the only difference is they usually involve his own teamamtes.

I think Lou Amundson is a racist or something. I watched both incidents and they seem completely unprovoked and out of nowhere. That is what concerns me. Zach Randolph has never done that type of thing before. If you watch the film it seems like a pretty normal scene until Randolph just flips. Now the same thing with Nene? Yeah right.. There is something else going on here to make two seemingly smart and clean players flip like that. I bet he called them a racist name or said something really bad to make them react so irrationally. Otherwise why would two professional NBA players, with lots of money on the line, do something so blatantly reactionary? It is certainly not just because they “cannot handle being a physical player back at them” or whatever BS Amundson was trying to sell us.

As of now, I am going to keep a good eye on Racist Lou over here and if I were his teammates, I would do the same.

Listen, eveything Lou said is true. Not about Nene necessarily being a dirty player but that these guys have sense of entitlement and when some no-name comes along and can play them straight up or throw off their game they show how mature they really are.
And. it’s OK to play a little dirty Jordan, Bird, Charles…all did, and I’m sure Amundson does it too. But when you try to injure another player-that makes you a b*tch a** punk who nobody respects. I’m sure Nene feels stupid for doing that, he’s not that guy.

Lou plays his butt off if he doesnt he will be out of the league.He has come out of nowwhere to earn some dough and be an example of how all should hustle.It is reverse discrimination as the brothers hate some white boy hustling on them.That is why you always see these type of guys getting fights picked with them.Im a sixers fan and watched LOU at UNLV here in vegas.I hated the sixers giving up on him.Keep up the good work.Respect the man his hustle will keep him in the leaugue.Nene and Randolph 2 of the most overpayed guys in the league.Nene is half the man he used to be.

Nuggets fans can say what they want, but they LOVE Louis Amundson…..only their Louis Amundson is named Chris Andersen….Andersen’s got better numbers now, but when Andersen was at Lou’s point of his career…the numbers were scary similar.

In the end, guys like Chris Andersen, David Lee, Lou Amundson, etc….just get under people’s skin because those guys hustle every play, contest every shot, box out on every rebound, etc.. and etc… none of them has a refined offensive game, so they do everything else….and Nuggets fans love guys like Amundson….which is why they love Andersen

Nene should’ve been tossed the play before when he grabbed Amundson by the throat when he wasn’t looking and threw him to the ground backwards, but the refs didn’t see that either.

Playing hard and rough isn’t the same as playing dirty….grow up.

Typical Nuggets responses. I think LOU was “manning up and playing harder.” Did you read the story at all? Evidently, Nene “manned up” in the wrong way. We love LOOOUUUUUU! Get over the fact he got into Nene’s head. It’s his job!
