Despite it is a weird and funny situations. Remember there are two things to learn: 1. Some people just dislike you and will find ways to give you hard time or put in fault. 2. If this happens to you, just shake it off and smile like Duncan. Don’t need to fight back, and show some peace ✌️ signs when “peace out”.

[@ladieesc0]

Im annoyed that the commentators were making excuses for the ref like "he felt like he was showing him up" lol what? so let me get this straight. you are a BASKETBALL ref and you are making calls based on feeling like someone is showing u up versus the BASKETBALL game. These are like the cops today who get mad when people ask why are being arrested. They shoot them because they feel like their "authority" is being questioned. Power is a hell of a drug when given to man.

Commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford from being the ref during the playoffs that year because of ejecting Duncan. Crawford went to see a sport psychologist and worked on his anger management.

[@Doatello1991]

Remember when Rasheed Wallace was ejected for staring at a ref.
