LeBron James grabbed CP3 and you could tell Paul was telling LeBron something. Following the game, reports surfaced that Paul was telling LeBron that Rondo spitted on him. You couldn’t tell from the replay, but the NBA has confirmed that indeed Rondo spitted on Paul. he league has handed out suspensions for the incident. Brandon Ingram got a four game suspension, Rondo got three and Chris Paul got two.
However, I don’t think you can punish Rondo’s act with simple game suspension. In the rules of combat and human decency, Rondo’s behavior was just downright despicable. You don’t go around and spit on people. There is a saying that I heard that I agree with, I rather get hit by someone than to get spit on. It’s just the last level of respect and it’s nasty. And to be frank, I wouldn’t be surprised if Chris Paul tries to whoop his ass when they meet again. Instead of the initial muff that he gave Rondo, he should have had hit him then. I don’t promote violence but sometimes when people cross the line, you have to retaliate accordingly.
